800 - Romanthony Live In The Mix (1999)

House music started in Chicago, but what gets lost in history lessons is how it evolved and mutated in New York. None of that would have happened without Todd Terry. Bringing together hip-hop and house with his distinctive drum sounds, Terry not only created a whole subgenre (hip-house—check out Jungle Brothers' 1988 classic "I'll House You") but helped redefine the sound as a whole, bringing it to the mainstream with a string of classic remixes that stretched well into the '90s.

Through his catalogue of records as Hard House, Orange Lemon, Bombshell, Masters At Work (before Louie Vega and Kenny Dope would take that name) and many others, Terry built a discography unlike any other in dance music. Even if you only have a vague idea of who he is, you've definitely heard a record of his, probably ten. (That legendary remix of Everything But The Girl's "Missing?" That's him too.) His sound is loose, punchy and often deliriously catchy, rooted in the ethos of the classic hip-hop he started out playing.

Terry's RA Podcast focuses on a golden era of house from the late '80s to the early '90s, including classic cuts from Marshall Jefferson, Inner City, Crystal Waters and, of course, Terry himself. There's also a modern update from Amine Edge & DANCE. As he says in the interview below, it's a way to "show where house came from." Whether you're a newcomer or have heard these tracks hundreds of times before, there's nothing like hearing them from an innovator of the form.

2023-09-01 Live At Paloma Reopening Night (Ian Pooley)

For someone who wasn't born there, Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moodymann might be the most Detroit guy to ever exist.  Moving to the motor city from LA at only three weeks old, he has never "truly" left since. His music channels the musical legacy of Black Detroit – transplanted Delta blues, gospel, Motown and Fortune, Stevie Wonder, the Electrifying Mojo and the Belleville Three – with an unassailable verve. His dust-spackled opus "Silentintroduction" has hummed continously in the background of house music since its release in 1997, inspiring generations of producers.

! I forge these beats, I bewitch them,
the malevolent aspect, the evil eye,
the malevolent mouth, the malevolent tongue,
the malevolent lip, the finest sorcery,
Spirit of the heavens, conjure it! 
Spirit of the earth, conjure it!

Seven Pins for it who take without kind thoughts...

Dijon FM 002 | KERRI CHANDLER

The second installment of our podcast series is definitely a very special one. Last Amsterdam Dance Event we invited two of our all-time musical heroes to play a long back-2-back set. The result is 3 hours of pure bliss. We've now uploaded the full recording of the set for you to enjoy. 

As Resident Advisor put it:

"Nothing screams 'pure vibes' like a back-to-back from Move D and Gerd Janson."

Boomshakattack feat. MC Navigator

A totally improvised set recorded live for BBC1Xtra using Reason again mixing up some old samples. Some of it is not technically squared off in the correct way for the non-dancing techno zombies :-). This is old school - going with the feeling.
