Description
Receiving loud and clear the transmissions from up north, Ralph Falcon & Oscar Gaetan infused their house tracks with the sweaty, sinful euphoria of Miami's humid city streets. As Murk, the duo released a slew of irresistably dark & diva-laced masterpieces in the space of a little over two years before being kidnapped and sidetracked by major-label progressive partisans. Still, work stands the test of time, a tiny glimpse into the red-lit, drag-queen reigned club aesthetic that has been virtually wiped out due to excessive nightlife gentrification. Their remix of Karren Pollack was one of their first releases as a unit---and their best work to date. Featuring a louder-than-life low-end groove and haunting chord progressions just reeking of the no-holes-barred gay club culture of Miami's darker side, "You Can't Hurt Me" epitomizes the Murk aesthetic splendidly: if ever you wondered where the fierce ruling divas had gone, you need only look to Murk's early works for it to all rush back. "You Can't Hurt Me" encapsulates the sense of narative and sensual ugency that fueled the hardest hitting, big-room club sonics ever forced from a synthesizer. Despite countless scores of envious producers spending much of their careers feebly attempting to imitate their work, Murk's sound will never again be replicated, a once-in-a-era product of a still vibrant and underground gay club culture and the ethereal reaches of early atmospheric dance music. If ever there was a place to start your Murk education, this classic is it.
