About House Generation:
For the making of House Generation Marshall recruited the services of
luminaries such as Byron Stingily and Paris Brightledge to record a
great selection of classic House vocals, Chris ‘Bam Bam’ Westbrook
recorded the guitars, Louie Louie played percussion, Ed Funk was on
Drums, whilst Sherman Burks and Rob Crawford recorded the keyboard
loops. Perhaps one of the biggest triumphs of this exclusive sample
collection has to be the recruitment by Marshall of Orbert Davis from
the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, who was put in charge of capturing an
awesome selection of live House Strings and Brass Sections for the
project, which we are sure you are going to love.
Marshall’s dedication to the project and musical input has resulted
in a truly unique collection of rare and previously unreleased
samples, which are sure to grace many hits in the future, both within
the House genre and other styles. Besides being executive producer
for all the artists involved in the project and writing all the main
musical parts, Marshall also recorded a great selection of vocals,
303 basslines, keys, and he also did much of the editing himself, and
we are all very proud of the results.

About Marshall Jefferson:
There are a handful of men who have the title of Godfather Of House,
and while many have legitimate claims to the title, because of
seniority and being there at the beginning, one stands out from the
crowd as being the one that actually defined not only House music,
but dance music itself as we know it today. His name is Marshall
Jefferson.
Marshall Jefferson – House Generation is a collection of samples
produced by Marshall for producers looking to make inspired classic
and future House tracks, using some of the sources that up until now
Marshall has kept a closely guarded secret.
What Marshall Jefferson says about the Artist Series project:
When I first thought about doing a loops CD with Loopmasters I wanted
one that had no throwaway loops – and I honestly think every single
loop on this CD is a hit component.
Secondly, I wanted the ‘specialists’ – people I've known over the
years that are extremely talented and I knew would come up with
authentic House music, guys like Sherman Burks and Rob Crawford, and
I just had to get the King of Acid House – Chris ‘Bam Bam’ Westbrook.
It was also an honour and a privilege getting my old friend Byron
Stingily to sing on this collection. If Byron isn't the greatest
House singer ever, then he's definitely in the top two! And Paris
Brightledge of ‘It's Alright’ fame is my all-time favorite song
stylist, he's House music's Marvin Gaye.
Louie Louie from Chicago surprised everyone with his percussion
skills, the guy was just awesome. Drums came very late in the game
because I had trouble finding Ed Funk – I didn't want to put just
anyone on there. Ed came through and dropped the bomb baby, he's so
funky you're gonna need deodorant for every single one of his loops
you drop!
Lastly, months went by before I could track down Orbert Davis. Orbert
used to score strings and horns for me back in the day and when I
finally found him he had his own orchestra – the Chicago Jazz
Philharmonic.
I was preparing for bankruptcy to pay these guys but Orbert cut me a
deal that only took mortgaging 4 or 5 houses and the summer boat, so
it was a go!
This Collection is going to take you from Acid to Synth House to true
live Philly style House and right back to the Garage, then swing you
back through the 90s and 2k styles.
All the best and crank out the hits!
