Promised land

Mood: hands up, early

The records that made house music sound like a church service. Listening notes for the bus home.

A lot of early house records are about getting somewhere. Lifted, freed, taken higher, delivered. It is church language, and it makes sense — a lot of the people making it grew up singing in one.

I listen to these on the 140 home, which is the least church-like place in London, and they still work.
