By the time C.O.Ds started Ron was doing a lot of commercial stuff his best days to me were the original Underground he was hungry and raw and without fear, those who knew him know where I'm coming from.We wee wearing Giorgio Armani with the bird that came across the whole chest and part of both arms. People didn't know about Gianni Versace, Kansai Yamomotto,, Barry Kisslestine Cord, Byblos,Issey Miyake,,Missoni or any of the other pieces we had then. But I will never forget Ron or Robert
Den One, Chicago 1976. Ron Hardy kept on the dance floor all night. This was one of my favorite songs to dance to. I wish I could find an edit that Ron did with Labelle's "What Can You Do For Me/Messing With My Mind". Anybody know where I can find it please let me know!!!.
The first time i heard this Andre Hatchett, played this at a basement party fall 84. I damn near lost my mind!!! I have loved this song ever since! it is my all time # 1 house song!!!
I must say i'm 43 now and i don't dance anymore.But this song took me back.It's like i go into a trans and the music takes over me.And i'm going crazy.I miss you Ron....
Still doing it Brother in law... House it up with Brian and Debra... Your music has touched more than a generation, or a country.. You went WORLDWIDE Brother.. Thank you for helping me keep my confidence, even in the worst of times.. especially my SEXXXXYYYY.....WE won't TURN AROUND,,,,,,missing you... love Rozie
Who remembers Bobby Q bobby on Sundays banging all the old classics,I miss Bobby the old days are surely missed AKA's,BOX,Cod,Mudusa's,Riviera,Hummingbird,Mendal,Bismark,Congress Hotel,Club Larea's,Warehouse,Navy Pier,who remember these spots because good days they were never again will there be a time like that I MISS EM SOOOOOOOO much!!!!!
OMFG, DIS MA TISH! DID I EVA JACK MY BODY 2 DIS ONE @ DA MUZIK BOX. RON HARDY DID IT LIKE NO OTHA! BASS PUMPIN' MUSIC THUMPIN' ♫ Ooooooooo Ooooooooo I won't turn around. . .Naw I WON'T! ALRIGHT RON BANG DAT BOX! R.I.P.
@houseofjrk, The women were different at the house club, I remember not wanting to talk to a girl if she wasn't dressed the right way, and if I wasn't dressed right they wouldn't talk to you either, but if you could dance it was ON . We all carried ourselves with a different attitude proud well spoken and dressed i missed those days so Much
People would lose their minds off this. I remember the Power House and it was like an insane asylum. Cats climbing the beams up to the ceiling, people pounding the walls, cats even in tears. Rest in glory Ron!
This is definitely a classic. What a great re-edit. It gives the song that dancefloor feel needed to take it to the heights it was meant to reach musically. The version Farley "Jackmaster" Funk did was great also but this is all natural organic soul for the danceflloor!
I was in Chicago for a month in March. When I get to the Chi. I always drive my brothers Denali. I pulled up the The Dating Game club Bumpin " I can't Turn Around" on the CD and people still went totally crazy.
Big Ups Chicago, Big Ups, House, Big Up Ronnie, Let's Go Ronnie, WHOOOO !!!!
Man I remember kicking it in the box , jacking my ass off! Ron would make you go fucking crazy! The music he played and the way he played it just took me to another dimension! That might sound crazy to those who never got to experience Ron, but let me tell you he was truly the SHIT!!!
By most accounts, the 2004-era pressings of Ron's Edits weren't made by Ron Hardy, but someone who either re-created the exact cuts made by Ron but with cleaner source material, or was paying a tribute to Ron. But without actual proof of this, Ron Hardy has been credited as the remixer on these pieces.
@bissia wasn't there some big 2do about a whole bunch of Ronnie's reels being stolen, i wanna say around 84-85 some would say, giving radio stations like WKKC new life as "deep house spinners" with the likes of bobbyQbobby and pinkhouse?
hey pals you really three turnin' around and round with your ping pongs arguments, music grows like a tree with many roots, spreading all direction, anything little things can influence another, it's all modern music anyway, just play the record ok, for real … I'll spin some Issac Hayes ;)
THIS SONG TAKES ME BACK!!!! CATECOMBS IN DOWNTOWN PHILADELPHIA- CENTER CITY!!!!...AFTER HOURS CLUB 2AM- 10AM FRI & SAT NITES!!!!...WHOOOOOOOOOOO BABY- NOTHING LIKE IT, AND DONALD SPINNING THE WHEELS OF STEEL, AFTER SPINNING AT CHUCKS IN NORTH PHILLY PRIOR TO FROM 9PM TILL1:30AM- THEN HE MADE HIS WAY TO CENTER CITY SO ALL THE BOYS AND GIRLS COULD DANCE TILL DAWN!!!! AWESOME, "U FEELING ME, FOR ANYONE OUT THERE WHO IS FAMILIAR!!!!"
@MrKappakool I'm feeling you bro! Donald would start it hard and end the night even harder...David Todd was a little more methodical but he got it in too...Big Tiny at the door of Catacombs...remember the giant penis that serve as a stancchion at the bottom of the steps!!! Catacombs was right underneath Second Story nightclub...I was so excited when i got my membership,,,those were the days...great music...great dancing...
@faft1981 Finally, someone to communicate with and who knows what it was like from back in day... I truly miss Philly, but I also hear the nite life is not the same...I will be visiting home from the West Coast for the holidays, and I hope I can go out & do my thing...Where are the spots in the city of brotherly love that are happening these days? LMK...
@faft1981 ....ha ha ha...that penis used to hang from the ceiling in the Second Story and shoot confetti. Second Story was Philly's answer to the big glam clubs in NYC and Catacombs was for us, although SS opened as a gay club it eventually went mostly straight,while Catacombs was mostly Black and Gay. We used to go to Smart Place (Dusty's) before..what a cute dump ! We used to think the place would fall down,sweaty walls and all! Although Tink is gone Mark,Oliver and Chucky are still around...
I have to see you have to be there to understand what we go through when we hear these songs.. to bad they did not video tape some of the party's .. I remember the Music Box had a pajama party for the whole entire weekend .. never closed for three days.. people only went home to shower eat grab some sleep and was right back ...
@HomebusinessGeek True so true, Some of the best parties wereh the 48 hr weekends. Left The Box many of days, get on the El and dancin to a mix Ronnie did that nite before. No Headphones Just Ronnie In My Head BEATING THE BOX!!!!!!
We were dancing to this in 1978 or '79 at the Warehouse. Frankie laid his "thump" tracks under it, and the "thump" coming from his "knockboxes" (subwoofers)... could be heard all the way to river..."
There were no actual chicago produced "house" records until the mid-80s, a lifetime after music like this had been made in NYC. Sure the "house" name started in Chi-town, but if you really look into it and see beyond Chicago, that SOUND already existed and came from NYC especially, and Europe. Chicago did their version of this much later.
whats the name of the mix ive heard him play on the dhp mixes which is similar to the partehardy cant turn around track but has this guy saying "your the strangest fellow... your teeth are kind of yellow why dont you brush them" and "your breath is kinda bad why dont you turn around"
thats my favourite i need it please tell me if you know. thanks.
I'm sure Hardy was hardy, but this thing we call house and mixin came from New York. So nice we named it twice. Frankie Knuckles, the godfather of house, via Bronx NYC.
ron hardy was way before frankie knuckles for 1, for 2 frankie came to chicago and got big. do some research or something. knuckles will tell you that himself.....i don't care what you say in nyc,europe, la, or anywhere....house music was born in chi town. tighten up playa
Hardy started in the 70s, just like Knuckles, but get your facts straight-back then and up until the powreplant, he wasn't playing "house" music per se, he was just playing the same records as played in NYC. The "house" thing only happened after Hardy collaborated with Knuckles in the 80s, with Hardy opening a mainly straight club.
@hardcorehouse House music is based on disco. EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY PLAYED DISCO IN THE 70's. New York just had the big clubs that made the Disco stars money. They performed live in Chicago because we didn't have the disco clubs like New York. That's how house music was born we played and edited the music because we did not have the fancy clubs. We took it to a new level with the tracks from Lil Louis, Farley, Adonis, etc. House was born in Chicago at the warehouse not the powerplant.
@rocwitu96 Here's what really happened while you were in Chicago..disco which was largely a NY/Philly and Euro thang mutated in the early 80s into a melange of punk, funk, disco, etc. in the early 80s, in NYC. The term was post disco. Most people who weren't there like you (the masses outside of the NY underground) don't know this. THAT is where house music arose-as direct bites of the existing NY underground early 80s sound. But don't worry, if you educate yourself you'll see the light.
@suitandtieguy LOL calm down I'm simply filling you and most others in who weren't there and didn't live it or have broader perspectives borne of travel. There's still time however, for you to enlighten yourself via documentaries and books..
@suitandtieguy True. NYC's huge DJ culture started it all. Chicago was more into funk music and funk driven dance music. They rextended and remixed the old Isaac Hayes and Philly joints and added the electronics later. Love Can't Turn Around traveled to Europe all the way to Tel Aviv. Chi, Jersey and NYC have different flavors but still its all dance music. NYC brought back Love Is The Message 3 yrs after its release.
@hardcorehouse Both of you are right, and wrong. I was there, playing at a well known NYC club and was at the heart of the whole house movement. (My name is on a lot of DJ International and Trax records...) What we played in NY pre 1984 was indeed underground R&B-driven post disco. Frankie, Steve, Farley, Ron and the Hot Mix 5 brought what they were doing to us in NY, and the whole thing took off in 1984 with Music is the Key. NY was the influence, but the actual first tracks came from Chicago.
@droopusmaximus The actual first "house" tracks came out of chicago, but the earliest house records were a clear bite on an already existing NY sound that was being played in clubs and on mixes in chicago. They were also circulating underground NYC mixes with that sound prior to anything coming out of Chicago. The very first DJ Int'l release was a clear Colonel Abrams bite.
@hardcorehouse As I said, I was one of those NYC DJs to whom you refer. If you went to clubs that played house in Manhattan in the 80's, you would know me and the places I played. The stuff you're talking about was probably Salsoul/Prelude/Philly Intl/Leroy Burges/Timmy/Boyd stuff, much of which I either mixed or produced. As for Rocky's label, how is Music Is The Key a Col. Abrams bite? The Strikers had that sound way before the Colonel.
@droopusmaximus You're trying to talk down to someone who lived it in NYC from the 70s onwards, and you've got your dates entirely wrong. Not only did those saldoul/prelude tracks predate house records by many years, NYC was also creating and playing unreleased tracks well before this was done in Chicago-those NYC records and unreleased tracks were all over chi stores/clubs.
@hardcorehouse Really? UNreleased tracks played in Chicago? I hung at Music Box, and knew Ron very well. Farley, Steve, Chip, Ralphi,et al are good friends. Name a few of these "unreleased tracks." One even...
@droopusmaximus LOL you're VERY interested in getting in to a meaningless pissing contest, and absolutely LOVE name droppin-which i could do but don't have any need to...calm down. Bottom line is you actually say very little of substance aside from name-dropping and disjointed blathering. Me, I lived it, was with top DJs and am perfectly willing to enlighten those such as you who didn't really ilve the underground LOL
@droopusmaximus Release the Tension. Touche you lose-that was the template for house, kid. Everyone who was part of the true underground in the incubator NYC knew it, so did the enlightened ones in chi-town including NYer Frankie Knuckles who imported that sound to Chicago from NY.
@hardcorehouse Ok, now I know you know nothing. Release the Tension was way after Music's Got Me, which Timmy and Boyd passed around on tapt for a long time before putting lyrics to it. I had a tape of Music's Got Me (instrumentl only) in 1981, when Boyd and Timmy made it. Circuit (which was Boyd and Colonel Abrams was recorded in 1984, well after Music is the key was released. Touche indeed...
@droopusmaximus Nice try dumbass LOL stopping focusing on what was actually put out on record! The Release the Tension that you're thinking of because you weren't part of the underground came out years later-and it wasn't the same version. The 12" had Jason Smith on vocals, the unreleased version didn't LOL see what i mean-find "history of house" on youtube and watch the first 2 parts it'll help fill in the parts you slept thru.
@hardcorehouse Uh, no, I did not. I simply pointed out that you used a much more recent Boyd Jarvis/Timmy Regisford track as an example. Had you said "yeah, the cassette of Music's Got Me" I would have admitted you knew your stuff. But no...
@droopusmaximus Man are you clueless-you slept on the NYC underground when it was happenin, clearly. Moulton was way ahead of the curve, did it all in the early-late 70s actually, way ahead of chicago. Read up on this since you don't know-your dates suck, way off.
@droopusmaximus Well then talk about how all the innovations in dance music happened in the 70s and early 80s in NYC with guys like Moulton and Boyd Jarvis, well ahead of chicago clone material that came out later.
@droopusmaximus That's my point, that the underground existed well before house but the masses didn't know it and think that the chi version was the beginning when in fact it was the end of an era in the places it really happened-nyc/philly.
@hardcorehouse Hm, yeah I'd agree there. We played a funkier brand of "disco" years before house. But I didn't look at that as "house" House to me was rough sounding Trax and DJ International stuff...typically from Chicago. I think the disconnect was what I played was what many people would consider house...but to me (and probably you) it was just great music.
@hardcorehouse Patrick Adams, the Aleems, Greg Carmichael, Leroy Burgess, Vince Montana, Tee Scott, Larry Levan...and the crew of early 80s mixers (which I guess I could say I'm a part of) developed a killer club sound before Chicago did. No argument there, bro.
@droopusmaximus I think it's cute that you DJd back then, but so did I lol but that's not the point. Bottom line anyone who lived it is that the NYC underground sound existed for years, was played widely in Chi and then imitated left and right in creating "house" years later. Books and documentaries also document this progression, since you've got your dates mixed up-search youtube "history of house" parts 1 and 2 about how it also started in NYC gay clubs my friend-even Frankie Knuckles a NYer.
@hardcorehouse Cute? If, as you claim, you "lived it in NYC from the 70s" you almost certainly either were in clubs where I was playing or, (if you were inded s club DJ) played tracks I mixed and produced. Frankie and I have been friends for decades, and my "dates" are not wrong. Lessee..Most of FK's mixes on Prelude were 1979 - 1983, and that was the golden age of Prelude. Martin Circus? 1979. Strikers? 1981. Inner Life (morales..) 1979. Visual? 1983. Unlimited Touch? 1980.
@hardcorehouse As for Salsoul (Gold Mind) that was 1977 - 1980, with Shep's and Frankie's remixes landing in 1983...the same year as I got tapes of Music Is The Key. Even Tom Mouton's(another good friend of mine) stuff was primarily mid-70s to mid 80's. As for Europe, they were stuck in Loose Ends hell till 1988, and nothing even resembling house was played anywhere over there except Italy. Now, you claim you "were there" and were a club DJ? Exactly what NY club did you play at..and be careful.
@droopusmaximus All those names you need to keep droppin-those guys were way LATE when it came to original soundz. They might've been DJs in the 70s but when it came to creating a new sound all they did was bite an existing NYC underground sound that the masses (including you, apparently) slept on. The masses never knew the true underground pal, they only got second hand vapours outta chi-town way late, in 1983-85. PERIOD. Do your homework next time.
@hardcorehouse ROFLMAO...Tom Moulton was "late?" He wasn't even a DJ...he just invented the modern remix. FK was "late?" He mixed almost every Prelude record. Frankie was "late?" LOL. For a second I though you might be serious, but since you haven't figured out who I am yet, you're just blowing smoke. I suspect you never set foot in King Street, on 316 W 49th Street or in the Lincoln Motel. I'm done here.
@droopusmaximus "As for Europe, they were stuck in Loose Ends hell till 1988" Well, I'm not gonna pretend to know everything but I think you'll find House was in the UK, part of Europe, by 1986. Steve Hurley was at No.1 in the POP charts in 1986 with Jack Your Body. Love Can't Turn Around also charted that year. We had our own electronic acts like Yazoo, Art Of Noise, New Order, etc. and they all had kudos on the dancefloors of NY and Chicago as far as I've been told, and influenced House.
@bristolyoutubization Actually, you're right. Loose Ends hell really died around 1984, when Chicago house met Euro music as you mentioned like Kraftwerk, Depeche/Erasure mixes, Yzoo, and the Italo guys like Mauro and Kano, much of whichh predated CHicago house anyway. I stand corrected.
@droopusmaximus All I'm saying is, don't discredit Europe. What about Kraftwerk? Probably the single biggest influence on Techno and Electro, if not a tiny bit of an influence on House. Italo borrowed from US Disco and it got fed back into the house machine too. No offense to you and your knowledge / credentials, it's all in the name of healthy debate, just don't write us off :D
@hardcorehouse Hm, BTW..How could Music is the Key be a Colonel Abrams bite where Winston didn't even record Music is the Answer AFTER Music is the Key was released? Tapes of Silk were circulating around NYC in early 1983. The Colonel didn't even meet Winston till 1984. Nice try though.
@droopusmaximus I'll educate you on this - all that was viable exactly because of what i've written-those highly influential unreleased NYC jammies were all over chi via cassette before that in the early 80s, while at the same time the released 12" from NYC were most of what filled up the racks at Imports Etc. and other chi stores as well as their radio mixes. I know, i was in chi too. ;-) Chi was completely INUNDATED with NYC product first half of the 80s.
@TOUFLS1 thats the same like saying house is all black. While the Paradise Garage was the idea of Mel Cheren ;-)
Theres always multiple sources, but usually one place where you can put your finger on and say 'It started HERE.'
Ron Hardy and Larry Levan are btw my favorite dj's, Knuckles comes after, and after that Danny Tenaglia, Tony Humphries, François Kevorkian, Kenny Dope, Louie Vega, Danny Howells and John Digweed.
@TOUFLS1 You're close. Actually Ronnie started playing for Robert Williams (Music Box) after The Warehouse closed (also owned by Robert) and Robert and Frankie parted ways. Frankie opened the Powerplant which was big on Friday nights and The Music Box was big on Saturday nights. People tried to create a rivalry between them but Ronnie and Frankie were good friends and very supportive of one another. People need to stop trashing one to big up the other. It disrespects them both.
@kev121 How right you are. Frankie and Ronnie were the best. Frankie on fridays and Ron on saturdays. Although I was a lil more partial towards Ronnie. I have fond memories of both. But that damn underground was like stepping into wonderland. I can recall as plain as day people dancing so hard and long they would pass out. Talk about dancing...OMG!!! THOSE WERE THE DAYS!! AND THIS IS STILL MY NUMBER 1 HOUSE CUT!! Ronnies version of let no man put asunder a close second!!!
Ohh Shit!!! Ron Hardy's a MF on the Wheels. Man I remember this like it was yesterday. Wish I could bottle that time & era and take a sip of it everyday!!! Chi-Town In The House!!!
@dandrednell I think you might be a wannabe friend of Mouton's, as any serious book or documentary (maestro for example) clearly spells out that Moulton's evolutionary efforts occurred in the early-late 70s-where the hell were you? Me i was at Cherry Grove and the Pines where Moulton was playin his tapes, you?
You don't have to be from Chi town to appreciate the edit, quality that's for sure. Danny Krivit also did a re-edit of this track that came out on a now defunct UK record label Strut about 10 years ago. They only released a dozen or so tracks but each was quality. Sure the details will be on Discogs. Respect from London UK to all the original Chicago House heads.
man this joint bring back mad memories you really gotta be from the Chi to really get the full effect how Ron worked the crowd and house music,these youngsters cant even image just jackin nonstop and the the heavy bass just taking you to the point of sheer enjoyment only HARDY baby BEAT THAT SHIT RON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 10, 2008 as reported by the Shelby County, Tennessee Sheriff's Department. A Shelby County Sheriff's deputy and an ambulance from Rural Metro responded to his home after his wife found him on the floor near a still-running treadmill. Hayes was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, where he was pronounced dead at 2:08pm
I remember my girl and I kickin' it at the Power Plant in Chicago and the Underground also in the Da-Chi. Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy (RIP) We didn't leave until after 7 or 8 am... Those were the days!!!
wheeeeew were they EVER!!! But the thing is my brother they are STILL trying to recreate that vibe ALL OVER THE WORLD!! South America and Europe do a pretty good job but we were part of HISTORY!!
im going to look for this record. i loved this song. i love hearing dj rahaan edits of songs. hes truly near editing like ron(imo) and djs emmanuel, boogienite as well. oh shoot i almost forgot about dj rush as well. ron left a legacy that cant be imitated.
he is also a great dj and maybe all should hear this great music, think about it we danced non stop to a single song for 8-9 minutes. and I will bet that we are not over weight I am 40 and still able to take off the shirt at the club. just a thought
When I was hospitalized coming out a coma my cousin brought me 2 cds of Emmanuel and baby the muzic saved my life RIP RONNIE we all love and miss you much
Preach brother...Man i used to get the holy ghost when i use to hear this at Glenwood roller rink out there in Harvey,IL,,,Or when i was at Odgen Park...
I tried to copy andre hatchett so much back then. I had to copies of this edit and would loop and triple slam the "no more empty days and lonely nights". This is the best recorded version of the remix.
One of the best DJ's on edits is Emmanuel. The boy has sick talent, just see him on sundays at the Dating Game. Also the guy outa NY Quentin Harris is the next RON HARDY.
anyone can help me with the name or some informations about the first track in the video:"Red Zone club happy birthday..sauro cosimetti"??????????????????(t he lenth is 5:37)thanks
GET IT RON!!!!! ALRIGHT!!! THE POWERHOUSE BOUT TO CLOSE RON!!! BEAT THAT SHIT RON!!!!! STROBE LIGHT GOIN NUTS, TREE SMOKE IN THE AIR

@faft1981 ....ha ha ha...that penis used to hang from the ceiling in the Second Story and shoot confetti. Second Story was Philly's answer to the big glam clubs in NYC and Catacombs was for us, although SS opened as a gay club it eventually went mostly straight,while Catacombs was mostly Black and Gay. We used to go to Smart Place (Dusty's) before..what a cute dump ! We used to think the place would fall down,sweaty walls and all! Although Tink is gone Mark,Oliver and Chucky are still around...

There were no actual chicago produced "house" records until the mid-80s, a lifetime after music like this had been made in NYC. Sure the "house" name started in Chi-town, but if you really look into it and see beyond Chicago, that SOUND already existed and came from NYC especially, and Europe. Chicago did their version of this much later.

Hardy started in the 70s, just like Knuckles, but get your facts straight-back then and up until the powreplant, he wasn't playing "house" music per se, he was just playing the same records as played in NYC. The "house" thing only happened after Hardy collaborated with Knuckles in the 80s, with Hardy opening a mainly straight club.
hardcorehouse 2 years ago
@hardcorehouse House music is based on disco. EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY PLAYED DISCO IN THE 70's. New York just had the big clubs that made the Disco stars money. They performed live in Chicago because we didn't have the disco clubs like New York. That's how house music was born we played and edited the music because we did not have the fancy clubs. We took it to a new level with the tracks from Lil Louis, Farley, Adonis, etc. House was born in Chicago at the warehouse not the powerplant.
rocwitu96 1 year ago
@rocwitu96 Here's what really happened while you were in Chicago..disco which was largely a NY/Philly and Euro thang mutated in the early 80s into a melange of punk, funk, disco, etc. in the early 80s, in NYC. The term was post disco. Most people who weren't there like you (the masses outside of the NY underground) don't know this. THAT is where house music arose-as direct bites of the existing NY underground early 80s sound. But don't worry, if you educate yourself you'll see the light.

@suitandtieguy True. NYC's huge DJ culture started it all. Chicago was more into funk music and funk driven dance music. They rextended and remixed the old Isaac Hayes and Philly joints and added the electronics later. Love Can't Turn Around traveled to Europe all the way to Tel Aviv. Chi, Jersey and NYC have different flavors but still its all dance music. NYC brought back Love Is The Message 3 yrs after its release.
taylor4660 4 months ago
@hardcorehouse Both of you are right, and wrong. I was there, playing at a well known NYC club and was at the heart of the whole house movement. (My name is on a lot of DJ International and Trax records...) What we played in NY pre 1984 was indeed underground R&B-driven post disco. Frankie, Steve, Farley, Ron and the Hot Mix 5 brought what they were doing to us in NY, and the whole thing took off in 1984 with Music is the Key. NY was the influence, but the actual first tracks came from Chicago.
droopusmaximus 1 year ago
@droopusmaximus The actual first "house" tracks came out of chicago, but the earliest house records were a clear bite on an already existing NY sound that was being played in clubs and on mixes in chicago. They were also circulating underground NYC mixes with that sound prior to anything coming out of Chicago. The very first DJ Int'l release was a clear Colonel Abrams bite.
hardcorehouse 1 year ago
@hardcorehouse As I said, I was one of those NYC DJs to whom you refer. If you went to clubs that played house in Manhattan in the 80's, you would know me and the places I played. The stuff you're talking about was probably Salsoul/Prelude/Philly Intl/Leroy Burges/Timmy/Boyd stuff, much of which I either mixed or produced. As for Rocky's label, how is Music Is The Key a Col. Abrams bite? The Strikers had that sound way before the Colonel.
droopusmaximus 1 year ago
@droopusmaximus You're trying to talk down to someone who lived it in NYC from the 70s onwards, and you've got your dates entirely wrong. Not only did those saldoul/prelude tracks predate house records by many years, NYC was also creating and playing unreleased tracks well before this was done in Chicago-those NYC records and unreleased tracks were all over chi stores/clubs.

@droopusmaximus Release the Tension. Touche you lose-that was the template for house, kid. Everyone who was part of the true underground in the incubator NYC knew it, so did the enlightened ones in chi-town including NYer Frankie Knuckles who imported that sound to Chicago from NY.
hardcorehouse 1 year ago
@hardcorehouse Ok, now I know you know nothing. Release the Tension was way after Music's Got Me, which Timmy and Boyd passed around on tapt for a long time before putting lyrics to it. I had a tape of Music's Got Me (instrumentl only) in 1981, when Boyd and Timmy made it. Circuit (which was Boyd and Colonel Abrams was recorded in 1984, well after Music is the key was released. Touche indeed...
droopusmaximus 1 year ago
@droopusmaximus Nice try dumbass LOL stopping focusing on what was actually put out on record! The Release the Tension that you're thinking of because you weren't part of the underground came out years later-and it wasn't the same version. The 12" had Jason Smith on vocals, the unreleased version didn't LOL see what i mean-find "history of house" on youtube and watch the first 2 parts it'll help fill in the parts you slept thru.

@droopusmaximus Well then talk about how all the innovations in dance music happened in the 70s and early 80s in NYC with guys like Moulton and Boyd Jarvis, well ahead of chicago clone material that came out later.

@hardcorehouse Oh I agree completely there. Tom, Walter Gibbons, Francois K...they did great music WAY before house was a glimmer. We agree on that.
droopusmaximus 1 year ago
@droopusmaximus That's my point, that the underground existed well before house but the masses didn't know it and think that the chi version was the beginning when in fact it was the end of an era in the places it really happened-nyc/philly.
hardcorehouse 1 year ago
@hardcorehouse Hm, yeah I'd agree there. We played a funkier brand of "disco" years before house. But I didn't look at that as "house" House to me was rough sounding Trax and DJ International stuff...typically from Chicago. I think the disconnect was what I played was what many people would consider house...but to me (and probably you) it was just great music.
droopusmaximus 1 year ago
@hardcorehouse Patrick Adams, the Aleems, Greg Carmichael, Leroy Burgess, Vince Montana, Tee Scott, Larry Levan...and the crew of early 80s mixers (which I guess I could say I'm a part of) developed a killer club sound before Chicago did. No argument there, bro.
droopusmaximus 1 year ago
@droopusmaximus I think it's cute that you DJd back then, but so did I lol but that's not the point. Bottom line anyone who lived it is that the NYC underground sound existed for years, was played widely in Chi and then imitated left and right in creating "house" years later. Books and documentaries also document this progression, since you've got your dates mixed up-search youtube "history of house" parts 1 and 2 about how it also started in NYC gay clubs my friend-even Frankie Knuckles a NYer.
hardcorehouse 1 year ago
@hardcorehouse Cute? If, as you claim, you "lived it in NYC from the 70s" you almost certainly either were in clubs where I was playing or, (if you were inded s club DJ) played tracks I mixed and produced. Frankie and I have been friends for decades, and my "dates" are not wrong. Lessee..Most of FK's mixes on Prelude were 1979 - 1983, and that was the golden age of Prelude. Martin Circus? 1979. Strikers? 1981. Inner Life (morales..) 1979. Visual? 1983. Unlimited Touch? 1980.
droopusmaximus 1 year ago
@hardcorehouse As for Salsoul (Gold Mind) that was 1977 - 1980, with Shep's and Frankie's remixes landing in 1983...the same year as I got tapes of Music Is The Key. Even Tom Mouton's(another good friend of mine) stuff was primarily mid-70s to mid 80's. As for Europe, they were stuck in Loose Ends hell till 1988, and nothing even resembling house was played anywhere over there except Italy. Now, you claim you "were there" and were a club DJ? Exactly what NY club did you play at..and be careful.
droopusmaximus 1 year ago
@droopusmaximus All those names you need to keep droppin-those guys were way LATE when it came to original soundz. They might've been DJs in the 70s but when it came to creating a new sound all they did was bite an existing NYC underground sound that the masses (including you, apparently) slept on. The masses never knew the true underground pal, they only got second hand vapours outta chi-town way late, in 1983-85. PERIOD. Do your homework next time.
hardcorehouse 1 year ago
@hardcorehouse ROFLMAO...Tom Moulton was "late?" He wasn't even a DJ...he just invented the modern remix. FK was "late?" He mixed almost every Prelude record. Frankie was "late?" LOL. For a second I though you might be serious, but since you haven't figured out who I am yet, you're just blowing smoke. I suspect you never set foot in King Street, on 316 W 49th Street or in the Lincoln Motel. I'm done here.
droopusmaximus 1 year ago
@droopusmaximus "As for Europe, they were stuck in Loose Ends hell till 1988" Well, I'm not gonna pretend to know everything but I think you'll find House was in the UK, part of Europe, by 1986. Steve Hurley was at No.1 in the POP charts in 1986 with Jack Your Body. Love Can't Turn Around also charted that year. We had our own electronic acts like Yazoo, Art Of Noise, New Order, etc. and they all had kudos on the dancefloors of NY and Chicago as far as I've been told, and influenced House.
bristolyoutubization 1 year ago
@bristolyoutubization Actually, you're right. Loose Ends hell really died around 1984, when Chicago house met Euro music as you mentioned like Kraftwerk, Depeche/Erasure mixes, Yzoo, and the Italo guys like Mauro and Kano, much of whichh predated CHicago house anyway. I stand corrected.

@droopusmaximus All I'm saying is, don't discredit Europe. What about Kraftwerk? Probably the single biggest influence on Techno and Electro, if not a tiny bit of an influence on House. Italo borrowed from US Disco and it got fed back into the house machine too. No offense to you and your knowledge / credentials, it's all in the name of healthy debate, just don't write us off :D
bristolyoutubization 1 year ago
@hardcorehouse Hm, BTW..How could Music is the Key be a Colonel Abrams bite where Winston didn't even record Music is the Answer AFTER Music is the Key was released? Tapes of Silk were circulating around NYC in early 1983. The Colonel didn't even meet Winston till 1984. Nice try though.
droopusmaximus 1 year ago
@droopusmaximus I'll educate you on this - all that was viable exactly because of what i've written-those highly influential unreleased NYC jammies were all over chi via cassette before that in the early 80s, while at the same time the released 12" from NYC were most of what filled up the racks at Imports Etc. and other chi stores as well as their radio mixes. I know, i was in chi too. ;-) Chi was completely INUNDATED with NYC product first half of the 80s.

@TOUFLS1 You're close. Actually Ronnie started playing for Robert Williams (Music Box) after The Warehouse closed (also owned by Robert) and Robert and Frankie parted ways. Frankie opened the Powerplant which was big on Friday nights and The Music Box was big on Saturday nights. People tried to create a rivalry between them but Ronnie and Frankie were good friends and very supportive of one another. People need to stop trashing one to big up the other. It disrespects them both.

You don't have to be from Chi town to appreciate the edit, quality that's for sure.
