This edition of the Megamix is actually two mixes in one. I was asked by my good pal and musicology PhD. Matt Heck to record two introductory mixes for undergraduate students learning about the history of American dance music culture. So in this mix, we have an hour of Chicago house classics followed by the origins of Detroit techno. Hope you enjoy!!!
