Debut full length from low-end legend, DJ Clent! If you haven't heard of DJ Clent, it's time to get familiar. Hailing from the Windy City, Clent has a long history in juke and footwork music with releases on Chicago's legendary Dance Mania imprint from '98 and 2000, up until 2014's much-hyped Hyperfeet EP on Planet Mu. Now with Last Bus To Lake Park, the veteran producer unleashes his first full length album of pure footwork mayhem on Duck N' Cover (the world's only 100% footwork vinyl label). It's a full-assault on the senses from start to finish, with ferocious drum programming, balanced by acidic synths, soulful samples, and an overall epic energy. But really, what else would you expect from someone so deeply rooted in Chicago dance culture?  Check the gravity on "Planet Marz" and "Hyperfeet 2," then get down to the gangsta funk of "The Wickedness," or the SoHo sampling "Clent's So Hott." 14 tracks spread on double vinyl with free CD version included. Recommended.
