Larry Heard

Larry Heard, a.k.a Mr Fingers, a.k.a Godfather of House.

This artist has done serious bits for the Chicago house scene. An expansive discography can be charted in Heard’s name, starting his career in the group Fingers Inc, and later releasing under the solo pseudonym of Mr Fingers.

Heard elevates the warmth of deep house music, influenced by gospel and disco. His sound reaches a new level of ambience. The blending of smooth synths, soulful vocals and astronomical track titles render futurism as Heard’s trademark flair.

Imaginative scientific concepts characterise a significant amount of Heard’s work, but this is intertwined with Heard’s intention to produce music guided by raw feeling. He explains himself: “I’d name tracks after mountains if that’s what they felt like, but they don’t. They feel like something … out there.”
