*PRE-ORDER* 160 UNITY 'VOLUME 1' 12"

160 Unity Volume 1 cuts 17 essential Chicago footwork and high speed club tracks to vinyl for the very first time.

This is the biggest collection of Chicago footwork tracks committed to wax this decade (and stands next to Hyperdub's 2015 'Next Life' and Planet Mu's 2010 'Bangs & Works'). An instant classic, the tracklist reflects the forward-thinking footwork heat that has been spun for the dancefloor (and dance circle) at our 160 Unity parties in London and across Europe. These tracks have been debuted, road tested and reloaded at 160 Unity and come from artists who have played the first era of our parties in 2023-2026, including those who have made their UK debuts (DJ Phil, Heavee, DJ Rashad's son DJ Chad) and been on line-up combos that have never been done before in Europe (Traxman, Jana Rush, DJ Spinn, DJ Earl). The homegrown artist community that is connected to 160 Unity is represented via Big Dope P, Kode9, SHERELLE, Naina, BRAVA, Craic David and sohotsospicy. This is a party after all so we also have Unity anthems from DJ Manny, DJ.MC and the late, great DJ Rashad. Every track here tells a story but heads will inevitably be drawn to the rare gems within: sought-after tracks by Rashad, Traxman and Spinn finally on vinyl; 2020s footwork classics by Phil, Manny, Earl, Heavee, Chad and Jana; deep cuts from Kode9 and SHERELLE; an exclusive DJ version of Big Dope P and Littlez banger 'Top Shelf'; and scene anthems like '160UNITY' and 'Tear Da Club Up', which are the first tracks to be written for and about our raves. 160 Unity Volume 1 is a collector's item before it's even left the pressing plant: limited to 300 vinyl-only copies for the world, it spans the past, present and future of Chicago footwork and captures the crucial energy of 160 Unity. Music comes courtesy of the catalogues of Moveltraxx, DJ Spinn, Kode9, SHERELLE and Naina and is pressed to double vinyl, with full colour gatefold sleeve and inners featuring artwork and photography from the parties, and sleeve notes by 160 Unity founder Seb Wheeler.
