This video clip is for a classic oldskool acid house track, Jack to the Sound of the Underground, from 1988.

The producer of this song, Peter Slaghuis (that’s why “hithouse”), was a very well-known DJ/producer in the era 1985-1991. In the early ’90’s he had his own record company “Hithouse Records” on which came out early Dutch hardcore releases. Himself was involved in such groups like “Holy Noise” and “Epilepsia”.

He worked together with persons like Paul Elstak and Rob Fabrie, who both became popular (happy) hardcore producers in the ’90’s.

Sadly enough, Peter Slaghuis would have never seen their success and the success of the genre hardcore because he passed away in a car accident in sept. 1991, just before “his” genre became more & more popular.

Thanks to Matrix for digging this one up!

Here’s proof that all it takes to get ahead in the competitive DJ world is a great pair…

Of turntables. And something tells us that if they are full of plastic, the clubbers will be up all night.

DJ Portia Surreal, is “up and coming”, according to her site, as a New York DJ and “glowing disco ball vixen”. She’s appeared with some of the DJ world’s headline acts, including Sandra Collins and Tiesto. She mixes it up with an emphasis on dark house and break beat cuts.

She’s a bit of an curiousity in the DJ world. Surreal developed her theatrical approach in the underground fetish and goth scenes. Her stripped-down approach to electronica has taken her around the world. We’re waiting for her to get to Kansas.

Her site has news, tour schedules, and (surprise!) photos of the self-billed “Erotic Fetish DJ Extraordinaire”.
