The Muzic Box

After Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy was arguably the most influential Chicago house DJ. When Knuckles left The Warehouse to open the Power Plant in 1983, Robert Williams lured Ron Hardy with the promise of his own club, The Muzic Box.

Hardy’s style was imaginative, with radical tape edits, fast tempos, and heavy EQing on his GLI mixer.

Here one of his tracklist and some photos at The Muzic Box in 1984/1985.

Thanks Ron.
