Classic Pick: Trybe "Psychadelic shack" (Wild Pitch Records 12", 1988)

Let's go back in tim to 1988 when classic hip hop label Wild Pitch Records released the jaw-dropping Chuck Artamatik and Frankie Knuckles produced and mixed "Psychadelic shack" by Trybe (to our best knowledge this is the only house record ever released on the label). The mind-blowing "Psychadelic shack" is an underrated underground house music classic, without any doubt this deep and spiritual late night, early morning anthem oozing with powerful vocals, eerie synth strings, sumptuous keys and enthralling rhythms is sure to send the dancers into a frenzy.
