Larry Heard (born 1960) is a musician widely known for the Chicago house music he produced in the mid-1980s and continues to produce today. He was a member of the influential group Fingers, Inc. and has recorded solo under various names, most notably Mr. Fingers. His smooth production style with soulful vocals and long instrumental passages that de-emphasized percussion spearheaded the subgenre known as deep house. One of his first releases was a collaboration with singer Robert Owens, released under the group name 'Fingers Inc.' The song 'Mystery of Love' instantly became a classic hit, rising to #10 on the Billboard Dance charts. Although he has created much music and his career is ongoing, his mid-1980s tracks are considered classics in the house and nu-soul genres. He has mentored other successful artists, most notably Son Dexter, whose label Alleviated Records has released some of Heard's music. Much of Heard's music is released and re-released under different names, including Fingers, Inc., Mr. Fingers, Loosefingers, Larry Heard, and Robert Owens (the vocalist on those tracks).

Moodymann worked at several Detroit record stores in the mid-nineties including a store owned by producer Blake Baxter. During the mid-nineties Kenny was also the resident DJ at the Detroit based Outcast Motorcycle Club. At that time he was known as 'House'. After his first several releases on Planet E Records Kenny became quite popular in France and from there his popularity grew. Moodymann sound is a hybrid form of techno/house dance music arrived at via innovative use of reworked riffs, samples and grooves. While he may frustrate people with his refusal to be interviewed and insistence on reminding people of the genre's origins, the soulfulness of his output is unquestioned. Utilizing classic soul and jazz samples, low-slung bass lines and an approach to drum programming that is diametrically opposed to the tendency to push the tempo faster and faster, he has achieved classic status thanks to gems like 'Sunday Morning', 'Shades of Jae', and his remix of Innerzone Orchestra's 'People Make the World Go Round'. Following years of 12' only releases, he compiled his best work on 'Silentintroduction', one of the most celebrated albums of the late 90s.
