The Heartbeat of the Dance Floor is  grateful for David DePino’s generosity in sharing with us these rare recordings of Larry Levan playing live at the Paradise Garage.  Digitized from the original cassettes they were recorded on, David had unique access to the equipment in Larry’s DJ booth enabling him to record the cassettes. We felt these files would be a perfect accompaniment to David’s interview on our podcast THBOTDF, Episode #005

Traxsource LIVE! #26 with Franky Rizardo

"Hardy started his career in 1974 in Chicago gay club Den One. Here, with a set-up of two turntables, a mixer and a reel-to-reel tape-deck, he played long nights of underground black dance music. Around 1977, he went to work in Los Angeles. At the end of 1982, when DJ Frankie Knuckles left the Warehouse to open the Power Plant, Ron Hardy DJed at the Warehouse's new location until Robert Williams renamed it "The Muzic Box." While Frankie Knuckles at the Warehouse (and later the Power Plant) had a very smooth style of playing, Hardy was very different. He had less regard for sound quality and would play with a manic energy, mixing everything from classic Philadelphia Disco classics, Italo disco imports to new wave, disco and rock tracks. Hardy also pitched records up way more than Knuckles (pitch being the difference between normal speed and the speed at which the record is currently playing. Usually expressed as + or -, with 8 being maximum/minimum). Techno artist Derrick May remembers hearing Ron playing a Stevie Wonder cut with the speed at +8. Hardy played a lot of reel-to-reel edits and was always tweaking the soundsystem and playing with the EQ. A Ron Hardy trademark was playing a track backwards. Theo Parrish and several others have said that he did this by turning the needle upside down and putting the record on a cylinder so the needle played the underside of the record, although Stacey Collins says that he did this by using a reel-to-reel. Hardy's residence-club The Muzic Box was also known for its very loud sound volume. Hardy opened his nights with "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Among the classic disco that was a staple in Chicago clubs at the time, typical tracks one could also hear him play were Visage - "Frequency 7", Klein & MBO - "Dirty Talk", ESG - "Moody", Patrick Adams - "Big Phreek", Liquid Liquid - "Optimo", First Choice - "Let No Man Put Asunder", a lot of Philly soul Classics and even pop hits like Eurythmics - "Sweet Dreams" and Talk Talk - "It's My Life". Hardy also played electronic body music acts like Nitzer Ebb. Such eclecticism and the technical wizardy described were highlights of a unique style that separated Hardy from others like Knuckles and Levan. The main ingredient, however, was the soulful black disco tracks. Producer Chip E. introduced Hardy to recording music in 1986 when the two mixed "Donnie" by The It (featuring Chip E., Larry Heard, Robert Owens, and Harri Dennis). In early 1987, Chicago passed an ordinance forcing after-hours clubs to close at the same time as bars, and The Muzic Box was one of many casualties. After the closure of the Muzik Box, Hardy continued to DJ at various events around Chicago. However he battled with heroin addiction and did not manage to overcome this. He died on March 2, 1992. From humble beginnings, Hardy's contributions to house music are considered incredibly influential."

The RawSoul presents Part 1 of "The Masters At Work Showcase" for Episode 212 of The Raw House Supreme Show!

Masters At Work doesn't really need any introduction. "Little" Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonazalez became legendary almost instantly with their unique musical approach. The impact they made on House Music and dance music overall is undeniable and has rarely been matched. Their catalogue is rich and varied, from straight up club tracks to Latin Jazz. Constant and quality releases just kept coming on and on from 1991 until the early 2000s. 

This first showcase features their early remixes and productions when they exploded on the scene between 1991 and 1993. Don't be surprised to hear a wide variety of artists in this mix. Major labels were still relying on the underground remixers to attract attention and Masters At Work simply became the standard at that time.
