Description
The 7th of November will see two of our faves return to Your Love.
Yvonne Turner
DJ, producer and remixer Yvonne Turner is one of the only women instrumental in shaping New York’s early house scene, in fact her dub mix of Colonel Abrahams’s “Music Is The Answer “ is now rightly credited as one of the first house tracks alongside Jesse Saunders’s “On And On “ (Both came out in 1984). Yet her story has gone largely undocumented. Born in Harlem in 1953, she started DJing regularly by the late ‘70s, playing weekly parties in Flatbush and getting her musical education at The Loft. There, she says, she learned how “good music” should sound. It inspired her to start going to the studio and sharing her musical revelations with other people.
As a woman producer, she was often relegated to the small print on records, bumped to associate or co-producer status or marked as a mixer instead of a remixer. Many of the male vocalists she worked with got credit for the music. But Turner penned some acclaimed house tracks, such as “Set Fire To Me,” “Music Is The Answer” and the official remix of Whitney Houston’s “I’m Your Baby Tonight.” Yvonne has done remixes for the likes of Lenny Kravitz, Yazz , Lisa Stansfield and many more ..
While Turner took a back seat for a few years, deciding to teach in elementary schools , she recently got back in the studio and wants to set the record straight about the history of house and her place—and many other women’s—within it.
Check her production work and remix on the grammy nominated Loleatta Holloway’s “Can’t Let You Go “ out on Louie Vega’s Vega Records .
Antal
Antal Heitlager co-founded Rush Hour with his friend Christiaan Macdonald in the late 90s, when he was just 20 years old. Starting out as a small record store in Amsterdam, the project grew over the next two decades into a record label, distribution service and party crew. With a series of original releases and limited-edition 12”, Rush Hour helped to put the Dutch electronic scene on the map, while bringing unsung heroes from all over the world into the spotlight via reissues—such as James Mason's seminal proto-house classic "Nightgruv" and Dream 2 Science's sultry "My Love Turns To Liquid." Releasing fresh and essential Gospel led releases by Arp Afrique and so much more .
