Incredible as it seems, this year marks twenty years since the launch of Johnny D’Mairo’s Henry Street Music label. To celebrate, BBE is marking the occasion with a sumptuous five- disc CD retrospective, a fitting tribute to one of the most important of all house labels. This is one of the most extensive grand summations yet done of a dance label.
Henry Street Music exemplified its era as much as Trax and Nu-Groove had theirs. Come the mid-‘90s, the disco cut-up became ubiquitous, as thousands tried to emulate the success of Henry Street’s first big killer, The Bucketheads’ Tha Bomb –still a dancefloor staple two decades on.
Many of the movers and shakers of the day had their best moments on Henry Street, and they’re all here: Johnnick, Armand Van Helden, DJ Duke, DJ Sneak, Dirty Harry, Davidson Ospina, Todd Terry, Mateo and Matos, Brutal Bill, Josh Wink, even the UK’s own Ashley Beedle, and many more –a veritable roll-call of the premiere-league of dance at the time, an era when dance music still seemed incredibly fertile and the link with its own past was still vital.
Some of the American originals can struggle to get props among the countless mutations of house out there vying for attention in today’s digitalized dance scene, but the real house-heads always knew to check them, and will recognize this as quality product, through and through.

Henry Street (named after Brooklyn homeboy Johnny’s neighbourhood) always had a ‘New York’ vibe, and even when drawing its producers from further afield, the label encapsulated the city’s melting-pot of talent and raw, bristling energy... energy captured here, and exploding off these remastered tracks like it’s 1999 all over again!

Alongside the massive dancefloor anthems from the likes of Kenny Dope and Armand Van Helden are some real gems that got away, some exclusive mixes, and the thoughts of Johnny D, one of the prime-movers of the New York dance scene even before he came up with his own label, responsible for countless hits as promotions man and as dance A&R at Atlantic. Never one for the limelight, Johnny’s own story is nonetheless inextricably bound up with the transition from disco through house to the ubiquity of dance music today.
So... dust off those dancing shoes, and get ready to feel the heat, it’s one more time for the Henry Street Hustle!

Stay (Don't Go Away) [feat. Raye]

hello everyone
over the past few months i have been able to check off a few things on my bucket list... working on ye, kids see ghosts, and nas' album.. im just sitting here waiting for my mom to wake me up and say im late for school... but it hasn't happened yet... ha! when i was a kid i used to think about music from the moment my eyes opened until they closed... i used to run home from school to look up liner notes online and print em out and try to guess who made the beats then uncover the produced by section and see if i was right... i used find all the samples of my favorite songs and try to remake the beats the same exact way... i used to watch every video on mtv and bet glued to the fucking screen... i used to listen to music in the car and sing along to every word while emotionally looking out the window and pretending i was in the video... i used to look at my parents and say "there is no plan b" and "im gonna make it"... i was scared as hell but fearless all at the same time... music is magic... we have to treat it that way... i have been thinking about my future and how i want the rest of my career to unfold... i have decided to release some songs as benny blanco... don't worry i wont be singing on them with my shitty nasally jewish voice... i got all my friends to sing em... hope u like them... and if u dont i dont care cuz i do... 
love, benny

I Found You
