The third installment of Ron Hardy classics from his days at the Music Box. Ron Hardy (8 May 1958 - 2 March 1992) was an instrumental DJ in the development of house music. An innovator and originator of the genre, he is highly regarded not only for his iconic performances at the Muzic Box, a Chicago house music club, but for his pioneering edits and mixes of disco, soul music, funk and early house music ! Hardy played a lot of reel-to-reel edits and was always tweaking the soundsystem and playing with the EQ. A Ron Hardy trademark was playing a track backwards. Theo Parrish and several others have confirmed that he did this by turning the needle upside down and putting the record on a cylinder so the needle played the underside of the record. The Muzic Box was also known for its insanely loud sound volume.
