*1984 · Jus Born · Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — In the Room](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-chicago-in-the-room/)*

A New York electro record that Chicago played as house. The line people draw between the two genres was not visible from inside the booth, and this is the record that proves it.
