Overlooked: Larry Heard

Larry Heard needs no formal introductions – his music under various names spans the best part of four decades. Better known as Mr. Fingers, anyone remotely aware of the word 'house' will have stumbled upon Can You Feel It? or What About This Love at some point or another, be it in a proper club setting or on some late night YouTube voyage.
Yet the Chicago house originator’s back catalogue is one so vast, that it would require days of dedicated listening to get through. There are tonnes of slightly less obvious records he’s produced that may well have slipped the net, which is why we’ve done it all for you.
Of the rest, here are five of the best. Heard experts turn away now.
Starting from the top, this track sums up basically everything Heard’s music is about. Groove and repetition; delicate, melancholic synth work – the supreme producer swiftly locks you into a hypnotic bass line and furnishes it with enough 808s to keep things moving. Released on the plainly named Dance Tracs EP, this essential is a dreamy ride from start to end.
