The History Of Dance Mania With Ray Barney

For episode 28 Shannon speaks with Ray Barney the founder of
legendary house label Dance Mania. From 1986 to 1999 Dance Mania
pioneered an incredible moment in Chicago House history. It saw a
ton of milestones throughout its existence, releasing everything
from Classic House, Trax, and Hip House, but the label hit a
sweet spot when the dawn of Ghetto House emerged in 1994. Dance
Mania cultivated the careers of some of the most influential
producers and DJ's in House music history like the incredible DJ
DEEON, Waxmaster, Eric Martin, DJ Funk, Traxman, and Parris
Mitchell.Ray has been in the music business for a long time too.
His father founded a distribution business called Barney’s One
Stop Records in the early ’60s. Ray continued to follow in his
dad’s footsteps when he took over the shop in the ’80s, and the
rest was history. In this episode, Ray and Shannon chat about the
importance of doing music business with integrity, the power of
using mixtapes as promotion tools-- and Ray details the history
behind his iconic label and how it all began! Tracklist ~Devotion
