Gene Hunt

Gorgeous tribute from Chicago's Gene Hunt to two of dance music's pioneers Robert Owens and Larry Heard on theis stellar new three-tracker from the Moods and Grooves imprint. Thisone is right up there with some of the label's best work. Moody, emotional, musical and seriously deep. The A-side ''Balmoral Street'' mix is loaded with smooth drums, deep synth washes, and some female vocals over a very late night groove. The flip gets side goes even deeper with ''BP'S Deep Spirit Mix'', with some dubby flutes, lazy basslines and strings floating in the mix. The ''326 N. Wacker'' dub conjures up Owen's vocals in a very trippy way. Solid gear that'll appeal to the Joe Claussell, Ibadan and Theo Parrish heads.
