Mr Fingers / Larry Heard

[mistersloane]

wow i just got sun can't compare...first larry heard tune i've er....heard. It's well good. Downloading one of his mixes from the deep house page, looking forward to hearing that. Dissensus comes through again!

EDIT: yeah this mix is amazing.

which one did you download sodium?

 

[sodiumnightlife]

the mr fingers mix 12 29 2006. Just the first one i saw. I know precisely squat about deep house apart from that fish go deep tune was big in deep house before it was in funky...but i like this. Though i think quite a lot of the tunes in the mix are older. But its well worth a listen, has helped me getting into the groove while writing essays today.

There's something very melancholy about his tunes, isn't there?

Was just thinking this listening to the opening track on Sceneries Not Songs. Something achingly sad about that melody.

This came out 2023, seems like he's still got it

I don't know him catologically, but I hear tunes like Closer or I'm Strong and think wow... this guy went a long way to inventing the deep in house.

I'd have this in top 10 ep's the tens.
Yep, still listening to 23's 'Around The Sun' e.g.


I love lots of stuff on that other double Lp that was in bargain bins for years, 'Dance 2000' and yes, esp. the melancholy ones:

'My Primitive Nature'.

 

[Corpsey]

Would be hard to pick a fave out of 'What About This Love' 'Missing U' and 'Can U Feel It', all 10/10s.

This is so boring. Like horrifyingly boring

I listened to the whole playlist. Moribund. Dessicated. Exhausted.

 

[0bleak]

takes me back to 1970s dentist waiting room muzak - good times

 

[version]

"Washing Machine" a perfect example of how weird a lot of early house tracks were before the genre became so standardised.

True, an oddball banger. Grime before grime.

You're predictable

 

[Corpsey]

What's interesting (to me) is that the rage thrums through me for minutes, hours afterwards, but it feels like anxiety, I want to escape it, it's threatening to me

It's the opposite to the Larry heard zone, the muffled drum beat of the Moria orcs of the soul

😢

 

[Corpsey]

I term the emotion rage "Mr Lingers"

 

[version]

What are you on about.

 

[Corpsey]

The rage, version, the rage

 

[Corpsey]

How full of rage are you?

Does it make sense to even talk about being "filled with" rage? I think people think of anger like this, like there's an anger bucket in everybody that gets steadily filled up with anger molecules until you go berserk. "Suppressed rage", is this a real thing? I suppose it is, it's the chemical...

Oh gods it's 28 pages long let's not dig that one up

Larry’s mixes which used to be streamable via DHP forum were so on it. Lovely sweetspot blends, in key, pacing, all of them sublime 60-90mins collections with no duds or filler

Alleviated used to have more mixes available too but it’s mostly re-release info. Blackmarket have 2 mixes on soundcloud but a ton have completely disappeared. Standardised? By a small enough margin. What my ears pick up are someone who’s really comfortable blending harmonics and tempo

Dance 2000 lp was posted somewhere. Tbh that’s the last LH release purchased, only one track survived as such which is ..
