Throughout time, dance music has been celebrated in singular moments of
contained chaos. It is night music,
absorbed by "the people" in environments tucked away from mainstream
society. To "the people", the 12" and
not the LP was king. These were records made to move masses with little
more than a kick drum, hi-hat and a
bass line. Needles would drop, crowds would rejoice. Simple science,
thoroughly tested and assuredly proven.

In early 2009, NYC-based duo House of House honored that rich history by
creating and releasing the beast that
is the "Rushing to Paradise" 12" through cult label Whatever We Want
Records. Instantly coveted and championed
by cutting edge DJ's, record collectors and cultural connoisseurs,
"Rushing to Paradise" quickly moved up into the
upper echelon of "years best" lists, even before the records’ official
release date.

When the extremely limited run finally did hit stores, it instantly sold
out and became "the" song of many
memorable evenings across the globe. Clocking in at 13 minutes and
weaving through the highest peaks and
deep valleys of human emotion as well as the history of house music,
“Rushing To Paradise” became synonymous
with the word "epic". Repeated requests followed from eager clubbers,
itching to experience the fabled hysteria
the track would inspire when played.

As the legend grew, the the scarcity of the 12" itself intensified,
disappearing from those select few record shops
who managed to initially wrangle a few copies and began fetching upwards
of 100 Euro price tags on online auction
sites. Due to scarcity, "Rushing to Paradise" was no longer music for
"the people".
