Pumpin Pete takes you back to Chicago's own Infamous Dilligaf's Teen Club! Dilligaf's defined a generation of teen club heads and exploded onto the club scene with a force that still resonates to this day. "Dillies" as we alumni call it, was intoxicating and was the training ground for the birth of House Music, Break Dancing and DJing. With regulars such as the Culitos, Windy City Breakers, Soul Sonic Breakers, Bonito Boyz and way too many others to mention, it has marked it's place in Chicago house music history. This mix is a compilation of 80's Italo Dance & House music spun by resident DJ Pumpin Pete on ALL VINYL for great listening, enjoy!!
