RA Podcast 415

Recorded live at Club C.O.D. in Chicago in 1987 and uploaded as Resident Advisor’s 415th podcast mix in May 2014, this is 90 minutes of cleanly recorded depth-charged disco sandwiching a fearsome visitation by burgeoning hometown house records, many of each in Hardy’s own edits. The peak is a trio of versions of “I Can’t Turn Around,” from Steve “Silk” Hurley’s to Isaac Hayes’ original (both Hardy edits) to JM Silk’s—an 18-minute mini-extravaganza within a mouthwatering larger work.
