Marshall Jefferson Essentials

One of house music's most versatile and revered talents, producer Marshall Jefferson helped transform the Chicago sound into an international phenomenon with his epochal 1986 floor-filler "Move Your Body (The House Music Anthem)." In the decades that followed, Jefferson cut a staggering number of house classics under a dizzying variety of aliases. Jefferson can bang out raw acid tracks and weave lush deep house grooves with equal ease, and when he hooks up with vocalists like Sterling Void and CeCe Rogers, he creates crossover hits that bump to fierce, club-ready beats.
