Larry Heard from Bognor
Would you be into working with Mr Fingers.
Can You Feel It, Sun. Can’t Compare….. genuinely tieless house music.
I would chew your arm off all the way up to the elbow for him to play one note on a track with me.
Is it a possibility, to make some art with someone so godfatherly
If you’d asked me 3 weeks ago I would’ve said
“In my dreams”
But let me give you some context.
About a month ago. I was downstairs in my kitchen having a bastard strong coffee.
I found myself thumbing instagram.
Larry Heard’s tagged you in a post.
“Cool” i thought
“I wonder how many Larry Heard’s there are”
My inner wally was like - it’s a random Larry Larry
He’s from Stevenage Or Portishead
It’s Larry from Bognor.
It wasn’t
It was Larry fucking Heard a.k.a. Mr. Fingers and he’s not only is he tagged me but he has played one of my tracks track with me singing on it on his radio show
It was Larry fucking Heard a.k.a. Mr. Fingers and not only has he tagged me but he has played one of my tracks, a track with me singing on it on his radioshow? W T absolute F?
Alongside some proper tackle aswell
Like what i would consider ‘real’ house
Weirdly the track in question had come on in the car no more than a week before and I listened to and thought
“Huh, that’s not actually bad, shame it didn’t really connect”
“it’s a shame when that happens”
Thought nothing more of it
Until two weeks later I get notification about (real) Larry Heard busting it out
He also used it as the music for the back ground of the post, where he'd listed the entire track list
So I sent him a message (obvs)
I made an effort to connect with him
And as you'd expect, he was very lovely and very humble
and said thank you for making sharing how much it meant. (I did an IG post about it too)
So why am I mentioning working with Mr Fingers??
I’ll tell you more about that tomorrow.
The point of this message, other than being a little tease is to remind me (& you)
you never know what's going to connect and with whom
The only thing that's certain is it won't connect with any fucker (not even Larry from Bognor) if you keep it locked away on your drive on a on a DAT tape in your shed.
Speak soon,
Tx
