Metamorphosis

METAMORPHOSIS (FEATURING LOIS DUPLESSIS)

Known as one of the two guys who formed Virgo Four, M.E. and Ace & the Sandman and is now going by, Merwyn Sanders of Virgo Four. Formerly playing with Eric Lewis, now performs with his wife Mimi and other great musicians. Releasing on HotMix Records, Mathematics Records, Skylax Records, Tsuba Records and HotShot Records, with new releases coming soon. Also being a dj, look for mixes and the new brand "House of God" by Merwyn, which is an all Gospel House Music experience.

"In the late nineteen-eighties, Merwyn Sanders and his childhood friend Eric Lewis recorded a series of beautiful house tracks here in Chicago. Their first two EPs were issued under the names Virgo Four and M. E. on Trax Records in the U.S., then were licensed to Radical Records in the U.K. The duo followed up with another M. E. EP on Trax and a fourth release as Ace & The Sandman on Trax subsidiary Saber Records." - Jacob Arnold, https://www.gridface.com/merwyn-sanders-virgo-four-interview/

"The self titled Virgo album, released in 1989, is regarded as a seminal house album. Yet, the album is not common knowledge. Nor is much known about its creators Eric Lewis and Merwyn Sanders. 'We were horrible at networking' says Merwyn now. 'By the time we started releasing on Trax, the label was past its prime' explains Eric. Besides, there has always been some confusion about Virgo and Virgo Four. There were two different Virgos on Trax, the other one being the Virgo of Adonis, Marshall Jefferson and Vince Lawrence. Merwyn: 'That was one of Larry's (Sherman, Trax label boss) ideas. felt since we were unknown and our stuff was in the same vibe that it would add some name recognition. Our name was M.E. (Merwyn & Eric). We were very against Larry changing it. We had no idea until he started pressing ’em up. We were somewhat furious, but finally went along with it because we were so into doing the music and not so worried about a name.’ Eric and Merwyn were both born and raised on the south side of Chicago in musical families. They met at elementary school and started playing covers of funk and pop hits of that time in a four-piece band. Eric played guitar and Merwyn was on drums. The band didn’t last long and disbanded around the time they went to high school. It was here where they started to embrace dance music."
