Tales From The Deep With Dj Chris Fx

When I was a kid, my two cousin who were about 10 years older than I would always have parties in the basement like most people in Chicago. During this time, (the 70's) most albums would come with posters especially The Ohio Players and Parliament Funkadelic. My cousins always had them hung on the walls along with Black Light posters. You know the ones with neon colors and velvet. Everybody had the one with the zodiac signs & sexual positions. It would get pretty dark in the basement so they would screw in black, red and blue lights. I have very fond memories of those days. Although these were pre-house days, this where my love for dance music began. My cousins would play mostly Soul, R & B and Fun with some soulful disco (like Donna Summers) thrown in. I still can smell the incense (and weed lol) and see the flashing strobe lights. I can still see the Black light posters in the foggy basement and all the hands up in the air. I thanks my cousins for letting there little cuz hang out with them
