Alex Soundcanvas - 7 Weeks To Prepare (2014)

Digging deep into the crates of my back catalogue to put this piece of nostalgia together, and it's a mere slither of some of the earliest and most influential House/Techno/Acid tracks my peers exposed me to as a young electronic music connoisseur. Many of these pioneering classics unwittingly set the agenda for what was a hugely prosperous and experimental underground music scene in the late 80's / early 90's and this is where it all began for me. These records serve as the foundations of my ever expanding music collection...

Funky Guitar it was called... never found out who mixed it, which has always messed with my OCD ;), but it came to be one of our favourite tapes back in the day. This is one of many that I pinched out of my big brothers collection before obsessing over getting my hands on all the tracks on it. 

This tape led me to some incredible cuts such as
'Todd Terry Presents Gypsymen  Hear The Music' , 'K.A. Posse - Stick Music (Vol. 1, Part 1) / Shake (12")' , The Party Boy - The Twilight Zone ( Bam Bam's corrosion Mix "), 'Mark Imperial ‎– Rock This House '89 EP -The Acieed That Ate New York'and Coco Steel & Lovebomb - Work it' to name just a few.... enjoy

BTG Interview: Steve Bug - Poker Flat

BEHIND THE GROOVE ARE DEEPLY HUMBLED TO BE WORKING WITH HOUSE MUSIC HEAVYWEIGHT ROYALTY, VICTOR SIMONELLI AND SPENT SOME TIME GETTING BEHIND THE GROOVE WITH THE GREAT MAN FOR AN IN DEPTH INTERVIEW, BEFORE WE SET ABOUT RELEASING A TWO PART COLLECTORS EDITION VINYL PROJECT, FEATURING SOME OF HIS FINEST EARLY WORK. . .

Victor Simonelli BTG Interview Promo

In the early days of my crate digging adventures, MURK records and the extended productions of Ralph Falcon and Oscar Geaton featured heavily in my record collection. From Liberty City, to Funky Green Dogs from outer space, to Mission Control, to Deep South, to Coral Way Chiefs and beyond, the releases, aka’s and alias went on and on and on, with Oscar and Ralph covertly dominating the early deep house scene from down in deepest Miami. 

Along with countless original cornerstone releases like Believe, Some Lovin’, Release Myself, Outer Limits, Every Now and Then, Together, Reach for me, Been a long Time and a great many more (and I do mean many…) they also peppered the scene with exceptional landmark hard to ID remixes such as the Murk Mixes of Deborah Harry’s ‘I can see clearly now’, Murk Boys remix of Tito Puente’s ‘Tumbe’ and MURK’s stone cold classic remixes of Karen Pollacks’s You can’t Touch me, all of which are still highly sought after, hard to ID deep classics that effortlessly carve up the dance floors today… Suffice to say then that the pair stormed the emerging 90’s underground music scene like no other.

Everything about MURK oozes depth, from the intentionally rough, minimal, rustic label artwork, to the signature low slung beat construct and percussive arrangement…. when MURK release a track you know exactly what to expect, and that’s unapologetic, heavyweight depth and groove, accompanied by exceptional song writing.

So with all this in mind, we thought it was time to celebrate the contributions these guys gave and continue to give to the world of underground house music and curate a tribute mix of some of their finest work from the early years..

Ralph, Oscar…. We salute you and are eternally grateful for your pioneering work

Enjoy the mix all...

Karen Pollack - You can't touch me (MURK remix)
Mission Control - Outta limits
Funky Green Dogs from outer space - Reach for me
Coral Way Chiefs - Release myself
Liberty City - Some lovin'
Deep South - I believe
