Specter Vinyl

Specter’s interest in house music piqued in the 80s, when the wunderkind genre blew up in the city of Chicago. Specter would tape and devour the novel, often raw and eventually legendary mixes from radio stations like WBMX, WCYC, WCRX, WKKC and WGCI. His early influences include DJs like Farley Jackmaster Funk, Edward Get Down Crosby, Mickey Oliver, Bobby Q Bobby, Lee Collins, Lil Louis and the inimitable Ron Hardy.

Inspired by UK techno in the 90s, he was deeply connected with Sound Signature records and artists and so began a collaboration with the team and boss Theo Parrish, releasing 'The Gooch' EP and Rolling Stones-acclaimed 'Build To Last' album in 2018, coined a record you need to know. Alongside that strong connection, he founded the Chi Deep House label Tetrode Music with releases from Damon Lamar as well as his own. Specter's sound brings the real Detroit balance between soul and heavy industrial nuances, stemming from soul, disco to deep house and techno.
