Larry Heard – Black Oceans / Endless Flight [BM012]

Split release from the Black Market archives with tracks by Larry Heard and The It (with a main role for Larry Heard too). Two amazing tracks which actually 20-25 years later still sounds more futuristic as many releases nowadays. Spaced out jazzy keys on the mind blowing Black Oceans with trademark Larry Heard melodies. Flip side takes things to the darker chicago jack territories with the great Endless flight track by The It. This is one of their overlooked and more obscure tracks.

The Housefactors – Play It Loud [BM010]

Cover art - The Housefactors: Play It Loud

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.

VA – Secret Weapons Part 4 [IV027]

In fast times of today it’s hard to keep up with the pace of everything, not just with the flood of releases. Paul Virilio once wrote that Indians refused to take a train. They said they would lose their soul, because the soul can’t keep up with the speed of the train. Secret Weapons Vol. 4 should be your opportunity to let the train pass by and rather listen to its contributions by Larry Heard, Boddhi Satva, Tuff City Kids and Dixon.
