Does anyone have an ID on the Madonna edit? Sickk🔥

In this live talk with Tama Sumo, Lakuti and musclecars, the New York legend sets the record straight.

DJ, producer and remixer Yvonne Turner was one of the only women instrumental in shaping New York's early house scene, yet her story has gone largely undocumented. Born in Harlem in 1953, she started DJing regularly by the late '70s, playing weekly parties in Flatbush and getting her musical education at The Loft. There, she says, she learned how "good music" should sound. It inspired her to start going to the studio and sharing her musical revelations with other people.

As a woman producer, she was often relegated to the small print on records, bumped to associate or co-producer status or marked as a mixer instead of a remixer. Many of the male vocalists she worked with got credit for the music. But Turner penned some acclaimed house tracks, such as "Set Fire To Me," "Music Is The Answer" and the official remix of Whitney Houston's "I'm Your Baby Tonight." While Turner took a back seat for a few years, deciding to teach in elementary schools and wind down her touring, she recently got back in the studio and wants to set the record straight about the history of house and her place—and many other women's—within it. 

This conversation was moderated by Tama Sumo, Lakuti and the DJ duo musclecars live at Public Records in New York. Listen to the conversation in full.

"Art and music are the same, they're just different dialects." The Chicago house music legend talks about co-curating the photo exhibit Walk The Night and nightlife's '90s heyday. 

Ron Trent grew up in Chicago, where he dreamed of being a musician from a young age. He would end up becoming one of the architects of the Chicago house sound and working alongside contemporaries like Chez Damier, and across the pond, Basic Channel. His label, Prescription Records, became a renowned purveyor of the deep house sound. He spread his vision from the American Midwest to New York, Europe and beyond. 

In this talk recorded live at Miami Art Week, Trent talks to Resident Advisor music critic Kiana Mickles about the songs and dance floors that shaped him in this early part of his musical trajectory. In addition to playing some of his favourite jazz, funk and disco songs, he reflects on clubs like Studio 54, Paradise Garage and The Warehouse, which he claims matured him as an artist and irrevocably shaped the trajectory of club culture. Trent was instrumental in co-curating an exhibit called Walk The Night (which premiered at this multidisciplinary event), a photographic homage to these spaces and other historic clubs around the world.

To hear more about the legacy of Trent's favourite clubs and the music that shaped him, listen to the episode in full.

"FRANTZ is from Brooklyn, NY and had local radio and Video Music Box shape his tastes before MTV's AMP took hold, which later got him a high school internship at Astralwerks Records/Caroline Distribution picking up on sounds from major label remixes to "strictly underground" labels. Since then he's been committed to chasing cuts that lie somewhere between jovial and frenzied energy on the Rave/Groove spectrum. This naturally led him to a stint at famed digger's delight, The Thing in Greenpoint.
  Having spent some years in Mexico City just as that scene firmly re-established itself in the global view, he found a space within it playing disco, all manner of house, UK garage at famed clubs and parties Sunday Sunday, Departamento, Pervert, Japan, Por Detroit, and Yuyu.
  Since returning to NYC he's continued to forge his sound around town while daytiming as a buyer at Academy Records, of used collections and supporting burgeoning local (and sometimes foreign) electronic artists and labels. More recently he's featured on a V/A release on Death On Wax, contributing a delightfully sleazy disco edit that works on the dancefloor (or a leather bar).  
 This selection for There Is No Planet Earth is a small sharing of forever favorites, re-discoveries, and new obsessions. Come for the first track and stay for the as-yet-still unidentified Track ID at the end. Help us all if you know it. Enjoy!
