🎧🎶#ArtIsAWeapon #HouseMusic #MarshallJefferson #RecordStoreRecs Via www.grammy.com Record Store Recs: Chicago House Hero Marshall Jefferson [@marshall_jefferson] On Representation In Dance Music The OG DJ/producer made his lasting mark with "Move Your Body" in 1986, the first-ever piano house track, which reemerged late last year with a hugely popular remix from Solardo. His latest, "Let's Get Busy," also brings new life to a classic. With the unprecedented global disruption of 2020, it's important to support the music community however we can. With our series Record Store Recs, GRAMMY.com checks in with vinyl-loving artists to learn more about their favorite record stores and the gems they've found there. Today, we get a special throwback edition from one of the Godfathers of House music, Marshall Jefferson. In 1986, Chicago DJ/producer Marshall Jefferson released the ecstatic, piano-led "The House Music Anthem (Move Your Body)" on legendary local imprint Trax Records, unleashing a quintessential building block of house music that took the scene by storm. It is credited as the first track to bring piano (inspired by Elton John, nonetheless) into the emerging house music sound he and fellow OG DJs were creating in the Chicago and New York City underground. Following that pivotal moment, he stayed active and innovative in the Chicago underground until the late '90s, DJing clubs and releasing countless classics under his various aliases and collabs, including "The Jungle" as the Jungle Wonz in 1986, "Open Our Eyes" in 1988. In the 2000s, he began to focus more time on DJ gigs and relocated to London (and later Manchester, where he still resides) to be closer to the European clubs he was being booked at.
