Larry Heard

Mr. Fingers, Alleviated, USA

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. Here Larry delivers a very special selection drenched in jazz, funk and soul. Can you feel it?
