The terminology and culture associated with “house music” has grown so expansive over the years, that very few relay the genre back to what it originally was in the 90s, and there are even fewer that stick to that regard. Jesse Rose, thankfully, is not of the former, but of the latter. The British-by-way-of-Los Angeles DJ/producer garners a discography of his unique blend of Chicago house and early Detroit techno, paying homage to house music’s glory days in warehouses and underground clubs. We caught up with the house guru to (briefly) pick his brain right before he released 12 tracks that are up for grabs for the freesies on his Facebook today. Check the Q&A and stream the tracks below.
