A prequel to some very nice things ahead on Rush Hour - unreleased edit tracks from Derrick May and Gene Hunt, inspired by Ron Hardy ...
Legendary Detroit producer Derrick May's edit of First Choice dates from the late 80s, similar to Ron Hardy's classic, but with the reverse parts edited in. This edit only existed on an acetate - from which this recording was made - and marks a remarkable moment in dance music, as Chicago directly influences Detroit. .
Gene Hunt's 'Sound Drome' is an intense building drum track that totals over 13 minutes (a shorter version was released on White Owl on his Maad release). This version takes direct influence from the Muzic Box and Ron Hardy with the acapella intro that Ron used to play as well. The real insanity starts 8 minutes into the track when the tempo is pitched down (and then back up). .
Raw looping tracks for the kind of madness that only Ron would create on the dance floor. Turn the lights down low!
