i just found him omg in love

[mitchgunthorpe]

the man's a genius. hence the lack of popularity.

his music is loaded with feeling, innovation and bravery.

the fact that he's also the king of early disco/dance tracks is a function of his limitless ear, technique and musical curiosity. a real artist that made records.

shit's rare.

Saw the. Doc a month ago and I can't shake him. Couldn't name a song I heard but his approach and outlook are rare and essential to establish new evolutions of music. I love house music still as a 38 yr old and I thank his nature nurture for refining the 7 beat. Records with blenders mixing?....cum on! It's what happens when there isn't too much non space between Yin and yang
