On The Floor! - Live at Das Zimmer, Mannheim - Pt. 2
Larry Heard
Mr Fingers, Alleviated Rec.
House music is made up of a rich, warehouse-laden saga (arguably) spanning 25 years. Larry Heard was present for the seeding of that genre in the fertile cultural music-soil of Chicago, and has written some of the most essential and emotional music ever to grace worldwide discotheques. As a 17-year old rocker, Larry played drums in the group Infinity. Fed up with the limitations of that instrument, he acquired a TR707 and Roland and recorded 'Mysteries of Love' in 1984 as Mr. Fingers. His legendary 'Can You Feel It' soon followed, along with worldwide notoriety, an MCA record deal, a deluge of releases on several imprints, and residencies across the world. Heard now lives in Memphis. RBMA Radio presents the man live from a Red Bull Music Academy Info Session afterparty. Held at Mannheim's Zimmer club, you can listen to the Mister stretching his fingers and bringing down the walls for three full hours...
