[MP3] Mr. Fingers aka Larry Heard – Full Moon

This is incredible. For those of you who think house music is just more generic dance music made by white European kids on laptops in their bedroom for consumption on Soundcoud and in clubs full of other kids hopped up on molly, dig a little deeper and you’ll learn that Larry Heard was one of the pioneers and early architects of the genre who infused this primarily dance floor-focused music with nuance, pathos and poetry beyond what it took from it’s churchy soul, gospel and disco roots.

Now 30 years on from when he first melted minds and heart with his beautiful take on house music, he is back with a new single, ‘Full Moon’, a track, the opener, from his forthcoming new album, Cerebral Hemispheres, the first album under his Mr. Fingers pseudonym in 25 years due for release on April 13 on Alleviated Records. Based on this corker, he hasn’t lost a step and I for one cannot wait to hear the full album! If you feel the same, you pre-order the album HERE.

[MP3] Birthday Boy & Trish – Magic

We’ve been meaning to post this one forever. Big fan of Birthday Boy, mostly due to his work with fellow Toronto artist, Allie and his growing buzz in The 6ix. “Magic”‘s been on our new FRESH PICKS spotify playlist since it’s release but the sheer volume of music coming out and the year-end rush of the holidays means this one fell though the cracks as far as a post on the blog went. Better late then never though and with the weekend upon us, now is the perfect time to share this house-tastic, clubby feeling track. You’re welcome!

[MP3] Jacinth – All You Got

This track, by Toronto producer, Jacinth, puts me in the mind of some old school, early 90’s house music which, in my books, is a good thing!
