I danced and cried to it and it's the reason why I endeavour to make dance music healing music.
I bought the 12" the week it was released in 1988. The signature song for the genre 'Deep House' by Chicago legends Marshall Jefferson & Ten City's Byron Stingily. Marshall Jefferson Presents Truth – Open Our Eyes That all sounds pretty general to be honest but check the records and you'll see what we mean. They pulled in the Underground Resistance-type warfare and added it to the New York House and Chicago sound and a cross section of sounds from around the world. The politics, the sound, the whole thing. I haven't seen him for years but I presume he still is hardcore. I used to know him way back when as I was in Manchester a lot around '95 and '96. Saying that if you do want to go back in time you can get on Discogs and hit their back catalogue. It is 20 years since the release of the seminal 'It's All In The Groove' though as they do things differently rather than release a label retrospective this compilation brings together eight new tracks. The reason we asked this is because Rainy City have a compilation out. As the title says thats what we asked one of the main men behind Manchester's Rainy City label though honestly its just an opportunity to get a list of ten killer house records out of someone that knows his music.
