Bio
Has there ever been a more influential house artist than Larry Heard? With his cohorts Robert Owens and Ron Wilson, the mythical ‘Mr Fingers’ produced a series of the greatest tracks in the history of the genre, including Can You Feel It, Washing Machine, Space Jungle and The Sun Can’t Compare. Having started out back in 1985, way before anyone had even heard of ‘house music’, nobody has quite managed to span the ages like Larry Heard.
One of the founding fathers of acid house – his record Washing Machine, on Trax, presaged the movement a year before the release of Phuture’s classic Acid Tracks – the Chicago master has spent the last decade educating the new generations on jacking, culminating with his Outer Acid EP, released in 2016 on Alleviated Records. Taken from it, Qwazars is a modular and airy delight of a track and has become yet another club anthem to the name of this legendary composer. A staunch defender of hot analogue grooves, fantasmagorical melodies and reverberating drums, there is really only one word to describe the wide-reaching influence of the Chicago artist: universal.
