"I Fear the Night" Tyree's first 12" on DJ International from 1986 became an underground sensation, spreading out from Chicago's thriving House scene to eventually conquer the world.
"Acid Over" This track went away from the 303 sound then in vogue, particularly with the jazzy Piano Mix. The name reportedly comes from Tyree's belief that the old acid sound needed to be reinvented.
"Turn Up The Bass" A crossover hit with Kool Rock Steady whose vocal "Tyree Cooper! The producer! Awesome super-dooper-trooper!" would be sampled dozens of times over (including in this article!).
Da Soul Revival EP Released in 1994 on Dance Mania, Tyree lobbed 4 classic tracks over the roof, including "Acid Crash RX" and "I Known None of Y'All" which featured samples from Teddy Pendergrass.
Video Crash Just saying "Video Crash" or "Video Clash" is enough to start an argument in some old school circles. Tyree's came out on Rockin' House in 1996, with a harder sound than any that had come before.
