It could be argued that if you owned one Mr. Fingers single, this would be it. “Can You Feel It” is one of the greatest pieces of modern dance music, and it sounds incredible on this super-clean 45 pressing. Originally laid down to tape by Larry Heard in 1984, the track wouldn’t see an official release till 1986 on Trax. Since then it has become a timeless classic in every sense of the word, even transcending genre boundaries in recent years (as sampled on Kanye’s “Fade”). The Chicago house staple “Washing Machine” takes the B-side for back to back examples of Larry Heard‘s understated musical genius. Essential material, recommended.
