Transient Featuring Sherman Benton – Higher (Club Mix) 1990 Chicago House Vinyl | Sub-Sonic Records

#ChicagoHouse #RaveHistory #SubSonicRecords #VinylCulture #ShermanBenton Step into 1990 underground house history with Transient's "Higher" (Club Mix), a Sub-Sonic Records classic produced by Michael Foley & Scott Free. Distributed by Gherkin Records, this track bridges the gap between Chicago soulful house and early UK rave energy. Featuring the powerhouse vocals of Sherman Benton, "Higher" remains a definitive moment in the Stampede Productions catalog. Released in 1990 on the legendary Sub-Sonic Records (SBS-1217), "Higher" is a masterclass in early 90s production. Manufactured and distributed by Brett Wilcots' Gherkin Records, the track carries the DNA of the Chicago West Loop scene. Michael Foley and Scott Free (Stampede Productions) were pivotal architects of this sound. Their work on this record—and their broader involvement in the Chicago arts and house scene—solidified their status as underground legends. Scott Free later became a key figure in the "Queer Folk" movement, while the duo recently collaborated on "House Musical," a stage production documenting the 1980s Chicago warehouse era. Recommended for fans of: Larry Heard (Gherkin Jerks), Marshall Jefferson, Early XL Recordings, and the 1990 Braintree/UK Hardcore transition.
