Interstate 55

Sobre

The Interstate 55 project kicked off from a friendship between two young French and American students back in ’95, during a warehouse party on the South Side of Chicago. Working as press correspondents for Coda and Trax Magazine between Paris and Chicago for three years, these two helped push the Midwest sound over in Europe. They interviewed some of the biggest legends, Paul Johnson, Derrick Carter, Cajmere, Gemini, Boo Williams, Dance Mania Crew. The duo also hooked up a lot of Chicago DJs with Paris gigs, both public and private, plus slots on major radio stations. Fast forward 25 years from those legendary parties, back in the game. Interstate 55 and South Loop Recordings promote the underground once again, mixing current sounds with classic tracks through their Radio Shows and the Lake Shore Drive Series. Deep, funky, bumpy, hard, soulful. House is life. It’s a trip. Play It Loud.
