The Other Side of the Record — Volume 1: Chicago — The Beginning

You know the music. But do you know the story behind it?

Before the next chapter, there was Chicago.

From the roots of Chicago house music to the Ten City years, including That's the Way Love Is and State of Mind, discover a personal chapter of music history through the eyes of Byron E. Burke.

The Other Side of the Record — Volume 1: Chicago — The Beginning is the foundation of an illustrated autobiographical journey. It explores the experiences, decisions, and performances behind the music, opening the door to the chapters that follow.

The story continues through future graphic-autobiography volumes and the fuller autobiography.

Experience a personal chapter of house-music history through the eyes of Byron E. Burke—recording artist, producer, musician, and longtime DJ.

This illustrated autobiography explores the Chicago music scene, the Ten City years, and a pivotal performance in Hamburg, Germany, in November 1994.

After Ten City's final performance, Byron returned to the turntables—a craft he had practiced since age 13. That moment helped open the door to a new professional relationship and the next chapter of his life in Germany.

This is more than a story about records. It's about the people, decisions, performances, and experiences behind the music.
