#LaborDay #RonHardy appreciation post. he was the harder edge to Frankie Knuckles more lush soundscape playing much darker & psychedelic Electronic Music alongside emerging Acid tracks & House Music. while Knuckles’ crowd was dressed up & fancy, Hardy had a sweaty, packed room full of rougher & tougher folks on lots of drugs & dressed to dance all night in t-shirts & sneakers; sherm sticks (PCP-dipped joints) & MDA (a precursor to Ecstasy) were the popular drugs of choice. Ron’s legacy is adjacent to Frankie’s but most of the modern music press disregards Hardy as only achieving “local stardom” or others him by suggesting he was only a Knuckles disciple & nothing more (shown on one of the slides in the 80’s). while I deeply love & appreciate Frankie contributions, it’s the abstract artistic daring & complete disregard of boundaries that makes me gravitate to Ron & the countless mixes you can find online of him melting brains & making people strain muscles they didn’t know they had on the dance floor. this raw energy led directly to Acid House which essentially defines me as an artist & as a person.

#Pride DJs & Producers who made a mark on my life. #WalterGibbons who pioneered both the remix & 12” single & was known to DJ unlike anyone else in NYC’s #Disco heyday, #RonHardy who brought a darkness to #ChicagoHouse at the #MuzicBox & ushered #AcidHouse into the equation, the brilliant #LarryLevan of the #ParadiseGarage w/ the almighty @gracejonesofficial, #HouseMusic’s architect @fkalways of #TheWarehouse & @djjuniorvasquez who’s #SoundFactory (much like all the Discos & Gay friendly nightclubs before it) was a safe space for the #LGBTQ + community to gather & express themselves in a way that society wasn’t quite ready for & his sets, as well as everyone mentioned here, were impactful on all who were lucky enough to witness them live. Happy Pride to these legends wherever they DJ now in the cosmos. 💫 🦄🏳️‍⚧️⚧🏳️‍🌈✊🌈🔥 (at Frankie Knuckles Way - The Godfather of House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQorHdnhGyW/?utm_medium=tumblr

🎶🎧🎶💰 #ArtIsAWeapon #HouseHeads TODAY May 8 the @chosenfewdjs + @frankieknucklesfoundation celebrate the late great Chicago #HouseMusic pioneer #RonHardy with a music marathon and fundraiser livestream from @LeNocturneChicago 's Twitch, Facebook and YouTube 12PM-10PM CST (1PM-11PM EST). Donations: GoFundMe.com/For-The-Love-Of-Ron. _______________________ Reposted from @djterryhunter On March 2nd 1992 the #HouseMusic community lost one of its great pioneers, the legendary DJ Ron Hardy. Since that time his final resting place has gone unmarked.  Three years ago Chicago attorney and co-founder of the Frankie Knuckles Foundation, the late Randy Crumpton came up with the idea to raise funds to purchase a memorial marker for Ron. Crumpton mentioned his idea to FKF President/Executive Director Frederick Dunson who then spoke with Chosen Few DJ members @DJWayneWilliams, @DJAlanKing and @DJTerryHunter about a collaboration to purchase the stone and remedy the situation. Fast forward to this year... a few weeks ago during a conversation, Dunson mentioned the idea again to Hunter who enthusiastically responded “Let's do it!” So on May 8th, to observe and celebrate what would have been Ron's 63rd birthday, the @ChosenFewDJs + the @FrankieKnucklesFoundation join forces to host a fundraising effort to raise funds to purchase a marker. The day will consist of a marathon of DJ sets featuring ANDRE HATCHET, BILL HARDY (Ron’s Nephew), CELESTE ALEXANDER , CRAIG LOFTIS, GENE HUNT, JAMIE 326, MIKE DUNN, RON CARROLL, TERRY HUNTER and WAYNE WILLIAMS broadcasted live from @LeNocturneChicago 12pm-10pm (CST) on their Twitch, Facebook and YouTube. Donations to the cause can be made via GoFundMe.com/For-The-Love-Of-Ron. #ForTheLoveOfRon #TraScapades #MusicIsLife #FrankieKnuckles #HouseHead4Life #DancingIsFreedom #ArtIsAWeapon https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7uZ3TADNU/?igshid=122pr82hrd0wx
