Who else sounds like Larry Heard? In the late 1980s, The Chicago house producer was one of the first artists – initially as a part of Fingers, Inc., and then as a solo act – to truly stamp their own unique aesthetic onto the nascent style of electronic dance music. Favouring lush instrumentation, foggy chords and dreamy melodies over the more mechanic pounding of many of his counterparts, he inspired the "deeper" sounds of the midwest's second wave, and generations of young clubbers elsewhere around the world. 

This In Focus features close to 3 hours of untouchable deep house beauty from Larry Heard - compiled, mixed and edited by [Giles Smith.](https://www.nts.live/shows/giles-smith)

Theo Parrish Live In Detroit - Sept, 97' (Manny'z Tapez)

The first thing you might realise during a MUSCLECARS set is the sheer musicality of the duo's selections. Vocals glimmer at the centre, unfolding into enchanting, soulful coos, while drums strike captivating rhythms and gilded synths reach towards the sky. It's a jazzy New York house sound mythologised by pioneers like Joe Claussell, Carlos Sanchez and Timmy Regisford (whose songs all make it to this RA Podcast). For years, New York natives Brandon Weems and Craig Handfield have run their Coloring Lessons party as a way to introduce a younger generation to this vital piece of dance music history. In a city that prides itself on fast walking, fast talking and, as of late, fast BPMs, their music is an invitation to ease into a more relaxing pace.

This RA Podcast comes at a golden time for MUSCLECARS. In May, they released their RA-recommended debut album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea!, whose sultry (and undeniably catchy) lead single "Tonight" has gotten the stamp of approval, and a remix, from New York legend Louie Vega. And this Sunday, they hosted their annual Juneteenth block party outside the Lot Radio, where scores of Black dancers latched onto one another during sets from a multigenerational crew of Black DJs including Ron Trent, Lovie, Shawn Dub and MUSCLECARS themselves. This two-hour-plus mix takes us through the spiralling jazz of Herbie Hancock, the flashy disco of The Originals and lands us, finally, in "Water," the track that also closes out Sugar Honey Iced Tea!.

For someone who wasn't born there, Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moodymann might be the most Detroit guy to ever exist.  Moving to the motor city from LA at only three weeks old, he has never "truly" left since. His music channels the musical legacy of Black Detroit – transplanted Delta blues, gospel, Motown and Fortune, Stevie Wonder, the Electrifying Mojo and the Belleville Three – with an unassailable verve. His dust-spackled opus "Silentintroduction" has hummed continously in the background of house music since its release in 1997, inspiring generations of producers.

In the summer of 2024, I was fortunate enough to spend the summer in New York City. And I couldn't pass up the chance to see Legendary Theo Parrish. He played a six-hour set in his signature style. I was so hungry for that sound and dancing to those rhythms and vibes. I spent the whole 6 hours in front of the DJ booth... in front of this magic sound system, dancing non-stop, all 6 hours! As a keepsake of such a rare and very significant event in my life, I decided to record the entire DJ set in full on my phone's voice recorder. After six months I decided to share this incredible and magical musical Universe in which there is one God and that is DJ! And his name is Theo Parrish! I apologize for the raw sound of the audio recording on the recorder, and all the noise around the music, but it emphasizes the atmosphere and mystique of that morning! Yes, that morning! Theo started playing at 9am and finished at 3pm! It was like a Sunday service at church. I'm blessed! Thank you Theo!

A Guy Called Gerald @ The Lot Radio 02-10-2025

In a decaying Berlin bunker, Marilyn Manson meets Jesus – two extremes clashing between madness and salvation. This track paints a dark, poetic vision of guilt, self-destruction, and spiritual rebirth. Amid shattered glass, chains, and flickering light, a dialogue unfolds—full of noise, despair, and divine darkness. An apocalyptic trip into the depths of the human psyche – somewhere between the Bible and brutalist concrete.

A scream in glass — no ear replies
The light collapses, time denies
Words decay, and sound resigns
The mirror grins with twisted signs

No door — yet I am inside
One eye laughs, the other cries
Mind in chains, the pulse runs wild
I am the flaw they never filed

Seven wounds, yet none are mine
The snitch ascends in serpentine
Through shattered night, a voice replies:
"I bled so you could rise."

----------
In einem verranzten Berliner Bunker treffen Marilyn Manson und Jesus aufeinander – zwei Extreme zwischen Wahnsinn und Erlösung. Der Track malt ein düsteres, poetisches Bild von Schuld, Selbstzerstörung und spiritueller Wiedergeburt. Zwischen Glassplittern, Ketten und flackerndem Licht entsteht ein Dialog aus Noise, Verzweiflung und göttlicher Dunkelheit. Ein apokalyptischer Trip in die Tiefen des menschlichen Selbst – irgendwo zwischen Bibel und Beton.

Ein Schrei im Glas — die Stille lacht
Das Licht erlischt, die Zeit erwacht
Worte verwesen, Klang erfriert
Der Spiegel zeigt, was nicht passiert

Kein Schloss — doch bin ich eingesperrt
Ein Auge weint, eins unversehrt
Gedanken rasen, Puls erstarrt
Ich bin der Riss, der nie vernarbt

Sieben Schnitte, keiner blutet
Die Schlange steigt, wo Schatten wütet
Eine Stimme dringt durch die stürmische Nacht:
"Ich starb, damit dein Licht erwacht."

Bad Decision (Meeting Jesus)
