The Housefactors – Big Bang Theory [ML2307]

Alleviated Records presents the first-time official reissue of one of Larry Heard’s (Mr. Fingers) most coveted aliases: The Housefactors. Big Bang Theory, originally released on Black Market in 1990, sounds like nothing else that we have heard from the man. It sees the Chicago native branch out into the bleepy sounds that were starting to arise across the Atlantic, yet still manages to keep that distinct Fingers soul. A dancefloor sure shot to this day.

Official re-issue of Larry Heard’s The Housefactors project! Another one of his classics!. Raw and relentless tracks that went so far from any electronic dance music from that period that, to date, is still recognized as Larry Heard’s Signature sound. With his Mr Finger’s and Fingers inc. projects going towards club use, this and his Gherkin Jerks showed another side of him… probably a darker side, but for sure a more raw and different side with music that most likely was transmitted to him from another planet. Many producers have been inspired by his sound, and tried to create their own defenition of house music, but still to date Gherkin Jerks and The Housefactors are some of the most unique projects in House music history. Play It Loud originally came out in 1988 (!) on Black Market records. And how cool is it to see an official re-issue on the original label by the original guys who did this almost 25 years ago!. Eternal respect to Larry Heard and a big thanks to Black Market records for making this important record available again.
