Foremost Poets

Foremost Poets are a cult-favorite act rooted in New York's underground house scene, known for blending hypnotic beats with spoken-word poetry. Emerging in the late '80s and early '90s, the duo—often linked to producer Tony Rodriguez and collaborator Woody McBride—crafted a signature sound that’s both cerebral and dancefloor-ready. Their track "Moonraker" remains a timeless anthem, celebrated for its trippy vocals and deep, pulsating grooves. Over the years, their remixes and originals, like the haunting "Flowers In The Attic" or the rhythmically playful "The Richard Long Theory," have cemented their status as pioneers of the "spoken-word house" subgenre. While they’ve maintained a mysterious, low-profile vibe, their recent remixes for tracks like "Zimtron" and "Blackbird" prove their influence still ripples through modern club culture.
