There is a lot not to like about what has happened to New York City over the past two decades. But to be able to stop by here on my way to work and get a sandwich of their homemade mozzarella on superb ciabatta bread makes up for all of it. Seriously, it’s indescribably good.
Charisse Cobb is a singer who worked with Steve Silk Hurley under the name Risse, sad to say I don’t know anything about her other than she has an amazing voice and should have a much larger discography.
The Charisse Cobb vocal sample on this Mission Control track is taken from the acappella of Risse – Chain of Fools which appeared on an Atlantic promo but was never released (click link for an mp3).

This tape has been online for a few years, not sure who originally posted it or who the host is. First saw it posted to a message board by DJ Frankie Peña and was a little wary of the source initially (sorry Frankie!), but it sounds like Junior and the tracks I recognize are all from that era. Tape is dated 1995 but think it’s more likely 94, tracks came out that year and the club closed in February 95.
