HouseHeads, After hearing all this stuff about Rick Wade not being deep I felt the need to somehow put this in perspective. My best friend Mike called me from Detroit last night to tell me what an amazing selection of records he found at Record Time and how amped he is to hook up with Mike at Submerge today. My friend Michael is incidentally touring with STACEY PULLEN and SWAYZAK, and also I hear JUAN ATKINS played at the gig last night. So I asked Michael if he had any of Rick's records, and it turns out he doesn't, which i was completely surprised by, this guy is the ultimate housefiend. He doesn't dj, only has one turntable, but has a collection of house on wax that would make any house fan want to cry. he actually was the person who turned me on to BASIC CHANNEL right after their second record was released.
So when Michael told me he couldn't find any of RICK WADE'S records, and that he doesn't have any yet, I decided to kill two birds with one stone. I THREW DOWN A RICK WADE TRIBUTE MIX LAST NIGHT, both for y'all that have any doubt in your mind about this man's talents and his deep touch, and for my friend Michael who needs not just one but all his records to listen to. Ofcourse, anyone who's a fan of Rick's will benefit from this mix, I'm sure you'll all agree,as would Rick, I've got the skillz to do Rick's records justice in the mix. Sow ithout further ado, a flatplastic special treat for all you househeads, Giles Dickerson's Rick Wade tribute mix : MP3 // download ( or set your winamp to stream ) All of Rick Wade's releases are included here except for one early release on Harmonie Park that is out of print and I think I remember Rick saying to me that he doesn't even have a copy anymore. I hope I surprise you guys with some oldies here. The mix is chronological, but breaks away at certain points for the sake of the flow of the mix.
