Quality show Joe, great choices, sounds and obviously a lot of love and preparation has gone into this too. Let me know if you ever get round to the other few hundred hours of his work ;)

Ahh, I confused Larry Heard with Larry Levan.  initially expecting Paradise Garage vibes but stayed for these beautiful deep tunes beautifully presented.  cheers.

I've been asked by Melodic Distraction Radio to curate one of their 'Artist Focus' shows. It's a deep dive into musicians that have defined the sound of modern music; from stone cold classics, unearthed gems and forgotten B sides. I'll present a 60 minute tribute to a single artist who's had a notable impact on my musical life. For this edition I chose to focus on Larry Heard aka MR Fingers. Unquestionably one of electronic music finest pioneers and almost singlehandedly put the deepness in house music, his work sits at the very foundations of the genre. I'll take you through 10 of my choice tracks of his recording career, staying away from some of his more well known productions and digging deep into the back catalogue.
