Altered Zones

Feel My Bicep says:
"The Music Got Me" is a track that was big in Chicago in the early 80s when disco-hate was the flavour of the month. A proto-house classic with one of the finest synth lines ever made, it almost makes you want to feel the music, squiggling like jazz whilst floating in space. They used to play with two copies of the record, re-editing it live, stretching the murky bassline and those legendary up-mixed spitting hi-hats. The track is said to have originally been created by producer Boyd Jarvis for vocal auditions on the New York soul/R&B station WBLS, through which he discovered its singer, Timmy Regisford. This was also a fundamental track in shaping the Paradise Garage sound and the sound we pay homage to on our blog.
