DJ Duke, unsung hero of deep house ingenuity, receives a deserved and absolutely essential reissue from NYC?s slow to speak imprint. One of the lost masters of the abundant deep house community of the early 1990?s, Duke epitomized the queen-infused, deeply fierce insular dialogue of New York?s most outcaste underground. Part of his ode to deep house staples of yesteryear lost, ?Heard? & ?Trent? live up to their namesake, instrumental electronic masterpieces that disregard the concerns of conventional standardization while retaining the indisputable efficacy of NY?s exploratory antiestablishment. Emotive, depthtful and totally accessible, ?Core ? 1995? is the first re-visitation of forward-looking genius that will continue to epitomize slow to speak?s retroactive genius, speaking more to the potential inventiveness of dance music than it?s former vivacity. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
