Mike Delgado – The Murder E.P.

The Murder Track is deep shit but still has a bumpin groove - wicked

This Ep shows you how far New York had come in regards to the city of Chicago's earlier dominance with regards to House music,
They started the ball rolling with regard to House music. We were to witness the cities of New Jersey and New York entering the field in a big way. The same could be said with Detriot, Baltimore, and San Franciso The 1990s was a special time for House music.

As the "Gloves" were off as other nations such as Italy and the Uk entered into the Music fully when the 1990s reached.

However, at the start of the 1990s, NEW YORK and then the city of New JERSEY really went for it in regards to House music. Just look at the explosion of underground record labels coming from New York City alone. This really surprised the City of Chicago....

Then we all witnessed a revival and another push with the Chicago House sound with Record labels such as Prescription and Guidance gaining favor with record buyers ...

All I can say the 1990s was the best period for House music - Hands down...

the murder track....is heavy for those that know.... simple and deep...

"Latino Way (I Can Feel It)" sampled "Voices (In My Mind)" by Voices, an alias of Masters At Work. Its the "I Can Feel It" and "I Gotta Feel It" vocals.

'Rough Dream' is a remake of Kenny Dope's Total Kaos 'It's A Ill Groove'

Just playing this for the first time in too long and the Murder Track sounds as soothingly, universally deep today as it did 25 years ago. Beautiful vibe.

For all you Millenials, if you want to understand Deep House, get The Murder Track. That bridged the gap from NY Garage to Deep House. I was there.

Perhaps the proto-UK garage/2steppish "Latino Way" was more advanced at the time, but it hasn't aged that well imo and I think that the standout track after all these years remains "The Murder Track", another gem from the golden years of NYC house, high class subtly dubby wandering hypnotic deep house voyage that could easily stand the test with Mood II Swing's classic EPs from the same era on Groove On, Nite Grooves or King Street, which sets the quality level of this beautiful baby.

Mike Delgado helped shaping the New York Garage along side Todd Terry & Kenny 'Dope' Gonzales. 'Latino Way (I Can Feel It) is the true eccence of it. It has funk and groove and best thing about it is the Vintage sound of it. The vintage B-Line, The vinatge beats, the vintage rhode organ and the vintage Vocal-sample, everything is vintage. And the tune rocks the floor up & down everytime. A record i drop with pride. Thank you Mike, for never loosin' the funk!
