When the house music phenomenon was beginning, Chicago DJs like Ron Hardy and New Yorkers such as Frankie Knuckles and Larry Levan would edit records for their own purposes, removing the parts they felt to be superfluous, concentrating instead on extending grooves and hooks, often adding their own basic synth lines and toughening up the percussion with what have now become classic synthesizers and drum machines. Warehouse Classics Vol.2 holds 4 killer tracks going from obscure disco to new wave, first popularised at the Music Box and rarely heard anywhere else. This time we have the rare luck to get detroit legend (U.R. keyboard player) Niko Marks joining forces with 4 astonishing & devastating versions of Tom Tom Club, ABC, Donna Summer & Marvin Gaye. Musically, it's as delightfully funky and uncomplicated as you'd expect, a mesh of disco tracks and heavy, effect laden, machine-funk. Essential Item !!
