House Salad Music presents
House Heroes, tributes to those who have left their mark in the history of house music

This chapter | Rick Wade
Detroit, USA

Michigan born Rick Wade might not get the headlines of his more celebrated Detroit peers, but few have done as much to contribute to the house canon as he. For nigh on two decades ‘big daddy Rick’ has consistently turned out deeply channeled grooves that need every second of their often elongated lengths to have best effect. Peppered only lightly with strings, the odd breathy voice or some other delicate hook culled from the funk and soul sounds around which he grew up, Wade’s style is the perfect embodiment of minimum effort, maximum impact.

A famously rapid and prolific producer who turns out hundreds of excellent tracks on a non stop basis, Wade is also the force behind legendary imprint Harmonie Park, which has released classics from peers like Mike Huckaby, amongst others. His own discography stretches to three pages and is a pure gold mine for house heads, with each track sounding as timeless as the next. In DJ terms Rick is just as assured, laying down sets that are tinged with funk and soul and keep you dancing in his long form grooves all night long. From Europe to the US, this true house legend has played every venue worth its salt.

Eclectic start-to-Finish François K DJ set played on Friday May 10, 2024 at Standard Time in Toronto, Canada. The music went across-the-board in this session, and contains lots of surprises, some perennial favorites as well as some exclusive Live Stems mixes of certain tracks.

Rick Wade is one of those electronic music producers who deserves the honorific title of "maestro." Listening to his music unlocks vibes, sensations, triggered by a deep knowledge of music that is impossible to reproduce without doing the work. The same, I think, goes for his DJ sets. 

This mix series, Sanctify, was created with a sound like Rick Wade's in mind: warm, analog-sounding deep house. "Late Night Basix" could be an alternate title. Though we started with others, Rick Wade drew the blueprint for this.

Three tracks that showcase his signature blend of deep grooves, melodic atmospheres and driving progressive house energy.

SUN253: Taylan - Vanishing (Original Mix) [Sunexplosion]

Cloud Sounds drifts between dream and daylight — six tracks of reflective Afro-house designed for sunrise rooftops, ocean drives, and quiet moments of euphoria.

Built on deep percussion, glassy synths, and mantra-like vocals, the EP captures the beauty of stillness in motion — where rhythm breathes and sound becomes sky.

This is Vastel’s most cinematic work yet: minimalist, emotional, and luminous. Each track moves like a cloud—alive, fleeting, and endlessly in motion.

Best experienced on good headphones or at golden hour.

Featured moods: ethereal, reflective, hopeful, deep, alive.
Release type: Afro-House / Organic House / Chill House.
Recommended playlist fit: Afro Deep Essentials, Morning House Vibes, Café del Mar, Organic Sunrise, Chill House 2025.

François K - House Is A Feeling

Heist Recordings was founded by Dam Swindle as a means to gain full control over their own releases, and to create a stage for likeminded musicians to showcase their music. From the first release on, Dam Swindle’s “Break up to make up” EP in summer 2013, Heist has been a go to label for proper underground house and electronic music. Now, nearly 40 releases and 5 compilations in, Heist has brought forward artists like Frits Wentink, Nebraska, Adesse Versions, Fouk, Kassian, Nachtbraker and Alma Negra and continues to search for new talent, with Lars & Maarten fully focused on the A&R side of the label. 

Up till 2016, remixes on the label have been solely done by other original Heist artists on the yearly “Round up EP”, where the remixer and remixee get connected by the luck of the draw and a limited edition double pack is put out. After that, Maarten and Lars decided it was time to add remixers to the EP’s as well, which saw interesting collaboration, expanded the label family with names like Matthew Herbert, Tom Noble, Pépé Bradock, Ge-ology and Byron the Aquarius. 

In 2023 we've celebrated 10 years of Heist Recordings. The year showed a whole batch of releases by new artists like Byron the Aquarius, Amy Dabbs and Cinthie and by Dam Swindle themselves.
