house music (n.) A style of disco music with a heavy bass beat, initially popularized in underground all-night parties held in abandoned warehouses.

As another Halloween comes and goes, we find ourselves diving head-first into the Holiday's = whether we like or not. From here on out we're going to be bombarded with bad Holiday music in shops, elevators, and restaurants everywhere! Heh, not to worry though, as here at the BCH we'll be supplying you the freshest of ingredients that's sure to keep your ear buds happy.

With that said, I take great pleasure in introducing you to our Guest DJ, Seraphim.

Originally hailing from Chicago, this sunshine Lady has been calling Florida her home for the past decade. Her love of House Music spans years; however, it's her love of all genre's of Music that started it all for this DJ . Now, with over a decade of experience behind the decks, her next natural progression see's her stepping into the realm of Production. Teaming up with her Husband, Camouflage, the two are known as TransAtlantic Union and ... you know what? You can hear all of that for yourself - plus more - when you check out today's show on the podcast. From the words she shares to the beat's she drops, Seraphim ushered us into a journey that we'll be downloading for many plays later on. Her mix is fittingly titled, "Family Affair", and is compiled of tracks offered up by Producer's who all reside on Chicago House FM. Truly a Family-style of get-down, and truly worth your time. Also, if you ever feel you need a dose on your own of the good stuff you can always tune in for their live shows, every Thursday evening's, for the TransAtlantic Union show. For left-over's, try hitting Seraphim up on their podcast for some Transatlantic Union Love .

A huge Thank You goes from all of us here at the BCH to this Lady for stopping by and sharing. We truly can't wait to have you back, Mamma!

Tune in next week as we welcome back DJ_S all the way from Seoul, Korea. The last time this DJ stopped by, he wrecked shop on a whole other level that we don't get too much here.. and I'm super excited to hear the science he's gonna be layin' on us this time! Just click on his name to get a taste of S, and what he's got to offer us.

Till next week, Friends and Fam, I wish you nothing but a speedy delivery to your weekend! As always, the Biggest of "Thanks"(!) goes out to you, the Listener and the Dancer, for tuning in, supporting, and sharing your Love with me. Hear me when I say that all of this just wouldn't be as much fun without you.

*No bullsh*t. No commercials. No drunk people bumping into the decks. Just some damn good music comin' atcha' - weekly - from a Brick City House. *

If you're a lover of house music, then this is the show that'll get you movin'. I'll be diggin' in the crates for the classics, all while showing you what and who's new on the dance music scene.

Blessed with natural musical talent and the uncanny ability to nurture her gift through a relentless pursuit of inspiration, Sista Stroke is an emerging force in modern underground music. Her musical roots grow deep and span across the boundaries of genre and geography. She is a child of the b-boy generation whose journey though life has included living in Houston, San Antonio, Panama, McLean (VA), most recently Chicago, with a stop over in Los Angeles, and now London, England. The rich cultural textures of these cities reverberate in her music. Sista Stroke came up musically as a member of the legendary Rebel Crew, a musical family founded in Houston in the mid 80s by Joe B. and Rick Partida. As part of the Rebel Crew she played styles ranging from Hip Hop to Dance Hall, Jungle to Jazz, and Breaks to House always remaining anchored in soulful music. Her skills did not go unnoticed and she soon developed a following which called her to the road. In virtually no time Sista Stroke developed a hardcore fan base in cities around the United States, England and Mexico. She is known for beatin it hard, yet strokin' the soul with an incredibly moving blend of deep, funky, and spiritual house music (however, she has more than just house in her arsenal). She has often been booked to open for various acts, ranging from house to hip-hop, such as Afrika Bambaattaa, The Executioners, Tortured Soul, King Britt, Derrick Carter, Joey Beltram, Donald Glaude, DJ Dan, Method Man, Boo Williams, Mark Farina, Kaskade, and Super Jane (Lady D, Colette, Dayhota, and DJ Heather). However, she has now become a headliner herself through consistency in her DJing and a growing discography. As a producer, Sista Stroke has found a place musically where she can truly explore the depths of her creativity. In 2004 she became the preeminent in-house producer/remixer for Mother Tongue and Innuendo Records. Over the past five years she has released records on Mother Tongue, D'Lectable Rec, Privat Box, Dusttrax, and Hook-Up Tunes to name a few, along with some of the most sought after white labels in the industry. Through her original creations and remix work, Sista Stroke has made a name for herself in underground music. She is now poised to make her mark on the industry with projects on Revolutionary Music as well as several other lucky labels. Her releases on Revolutionary Music range from House to Hip Hop to down-tempo. You can catch Sista Stroke on her radio show, "Brick City House", every Wednesday evening at 7pm GMT, on Chicago House FM. To Join the Brick City House Group, you can click here.
