DJ Harvey

Map Of Africa, Los Angeles

Introducing DJ Harvey: international cult leader, leftfield disco administrator and builder of Triumph choppers. In late '92, Harvey and Thomas 'ARE Weapons' Bullock began a cultural collaboration which resulted in the infamous Tonka parties that turned Cambridge, England, into the hottest disco village ever known. Years later the pair have reunited as Map Of Africa to make their debut album Precious Wonder, a floor-filling mixture of swamp boogie and deep-rock cosmic. Meanwhile fetishists keep chasing Harvey's rare Black Cock re-edits, circulating long before such things became fashionable. Come see why robots around the world are addicted to Harvey's black magic. 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.
