Specter

A true staple of Chicago’s underground since the 90s, Specter (aka Andrés Ordoñez) has kept his sound rooted in MPC grit, dusty soul samples, hypnotic basslines and stripped grooves that feel both timeless and future-facing.

On this latest outing for the Paris-based Forbidden Dance, he flexes that signature balance of warmth and rugged minimalism, crafting tracks that nod to house’s raw beginnings while carrying a lived-in intimacy only he can deliver.

In Case You Forgot is a reminder — of the basement sessions, the smoky afterhours, the raw Chicago energy that continues to ripple through today’s global deep house movement.
