1. First tell us about Minibar Music

Minibar-music is the new label we’ve created with Eric Vence and David Gluck after I’ve stopped working with telegraph and logstic records. I would say that the music orientation for this label will definitely be open minded !! Still focused on the dancefloor for now (we want to see people danciiiiing ) it will for sure grow in multiple directions in the future.

2. Describe your sound and your music future vision..

I’m totally unable to give you a proper description of it !! Lol !! But I would say i’ve always been trying to make it groovy !!

3. Describe whats happening in Club Culture and life, after the introductions of cool software, laptop

Since the laptops and ableton arrived in the game a lot more possibilities came to musicians to play along with other musicians !! That’s great and now you can see many live set where artists improvise techno music !! To me it’s one of the best way to play music !! You can totally interact with the crowd and you really can rock it !!

4. Your french friends: Ark, Karat crew.. Very amusing party and approach 

We’re always playing that way with theses guys !! We all got a musician background and we learned music playing it !! Music is also a body language !! You should check Ark when he’s performing … X-tra fun !!

5. Your “Loop” theory

I don t have any “loop” theory !!
I mean !!
You’re head is moving ?!!
Your ass is shaking ?!!
You got it !!

6. Melody or Beat oriented?

Rythm is everything !! Without it melody don’t exist !! Some say “it s about the note” !! Some other “it’s about where you place it” So i say beat … I love melody but i’m quite bad at using it with electronic music i guess !! I feel much more comfortable with rythm !!

7. Talk about your Japan experience and friends

Was really amazed how people react about our music over there !! They know everything about everybody !! Very impressive !! Even the scene totally changed since last year !! There’s a lot new talented artists coming from Japan. Ditch who’s doing minibar 04 was working on electronic music for only 4 month when he gave me the tracks !! Wait to hear it and you’ll tell by yourself !!

8. Sound efx, click, little voices: who inspire you?

Miles Davis / Dan Bell / John Coltrane / Dimbiman / Thelnious Monk / Herbert / George Clinton / Ark / Bill Evans / Thomas Melchior

9. Analog? Digital?

Both analog and digital !!

10. Your best all-the-time favourite five trax/titles

Impossible to answer that !! Give me 50 and maybe i can !! To me there is too much amazing tastes and flavor all around the house to reduce it to 5 tracks !! 😉

LARRY HEARD aka MR. FINGERS è stato fenomenale: davvero è raro ascoltare sound così al giorno d’oggi! Detroit, Deep, Disco miscelate sapientemente per creare una atmosfera unica +

Ha suonato quasi 3 ore e a giudizio di molti miei amici patiti di house music è stata la più bella serata da anni …
Larry ha dimostrato una sensibilità e fantasia incredibile, pensate che ha suonato togliendosi le scarpe, quindi scalzo, probabilmente per un discorso di sensibilità e vibrazioni!

Un ringraziamento particolare ad Enrico Volcov (www.neroli.it) e allo Staff del Fabbrika, SWENSON, ELIX, DEMIS.

TENETE BEN PRESENTE QUESTA COSA: Larry per ovvi motivi di età, non viaggia spesso per suonare, capita solo rare volte! La fortuna o il destino ci han permesso di bookarlo e di ascoltarlo, ballarlo profondamente!

A tutti i patiti di musica house/techno consiglio il suo album “AMNESIA” su Jack Trax e tutti gli altri lavori …
grazie ancora Larry! alla prossima, ciao dax*

Venerdì 17 febbraio AMNESIA MR FINGERS/LARRY HEARD + DAX DJ and Fabbrika Crew

per chi non sapesse… (leggete è cultura!)

Proprio a Chicago, nel 1982 tale Larry Heard, padre della musica House mondiale, compose la traccia che per me e molti cultori, rimane la `sola´ a cui ci si può riferire quando si parla di questo tipo di musica,Mr. Fingers “Can You Feel It”. Questa traccia strumentale venne stampata solo nel 1986 su Chicago Traxx Records mentre nel 1987 venne arricchita di un testo letto con passione da Chuck Robb. Le parole di questo testo descrivono a tutt´oggi cosa è l´House Music.
Infatti cito testualmente: “House is a Feeling …”. Questo è il segreto della musica House. Solo un `sentimento´ che proviene dal cuore – cioè qualcosa che tutti noi proviamo – poteva colpire, allo stesso tempo e nello stesso istante, masse di persone, con così tante differenze culturali ed etniche, per unirle nel nome della purezza che la musica House esprime.

Those are some of the words spoken when describing the almost indescribable music of Larry Heard (AKA Mr. Fingers).
His musical influence can be heard in the songs of countless artists. For those who appreciate warm and passionate digital compositions, Larry’s music is pure magic. Larry has been blessed with a unique gift that sends listeners into a blissful euphoric state. One of his first releases in 1986 was a collaboration with singer Robert Owens, released under the group name “Fingers Inc.”. The song “Mystery of Love” instantly became a classic hit, rising to #10 on the Billboard Dance charts.
1988 saw the release of the beautiful & groundbreaking double album entitled “Another Side”, showcasing the unstoppable talents of Larry, Robert, and vocalist Ron Wilson.
Since then, he has released several dance/r&b/ambient albums that have kept fans satisfied while gaining waves of new listeners. Recent releases like “Loosefingers” are a stunning testament to his artistic integrity. Never one to sacrifice expression for economic awards, Larry continues to retain his unique and inviting sound. www.deephousepage.com; www.discogs.com/artist/Larry+Heard
