In The Groove: New ways to listen to old Prince, a spotlight on Rich Ruth + new music from Loma
When I say a “new way to listen to old Prince,” I mean these are technically edits made by producers and deejays who didn’t have permission to remix the song. But hey, they sound great! And the art of the remix is a real thing that we must respect.
On top of that, a celebration of Chicago house music icon Frankie Knuckles. I noticed that the city of Chicago honored him with his own day. Made me wonder if we should do that with some of our local legends? Waajeed Day? K-Hand Day? Carl Craig Day? J Dilla Day? If these days do already exist, please send me a note and correct me.
Plus new music from Rich Ruth — who put on an insanely good show at Third Man Records here in the Cass Corridor over the weekend — Nilüfer Yanya, Cornelius, Loma and more.
