Mr. Fingers, the alias of Larry Heard, is a revered figure in the house music scene, known for his innovative approach and profound influence on the genre since the 1980s. Hailing from Chicago, Heard helped pioneer a style of deep house music characterized by its soulful melodies, smooth basslines, and atmospheric synths, effectively shaping the sonic landscape of electronic music. His track "Mystery of Love" is often cited as a pivotal work that contributed to the house music movement, establishing a template for producers and DJs worldwide.

In recent years, Mr. Fingers has continued to explore the boundaries of house music with a series of releases that underscore his relentless ingenuity. Projects like "Cerebral Hemispheres," his first full-length album in nearly 25 years, and EPs such as "Outer Acid" showcase a mastery of both rhythm and texture, marrying the cerebral and the visceral in a way that only a seasoned artist can. His remixes and Vault Sessions further display a commitment to revisiting and revitalizing the foundations of house music while pushing into new territories. A craftsman of the highest order, Mr. Fingers remains at the vanguard of the electronic music, creating soundscapes that are as thought-provoking as they are delightful to the ear.
