Way back in 1981, two musicians got together to make a record. Mike Collins played guitar and had just bought a Roland CR78 - the first programmable drum machine. Keith OConnell played Fender Rhodes piano and Prophet 5 synthesizer. Excited about the quirky and unusual instrumental track theyd composed, when the duo entered Londons Utopia Studios to finish off their creation, neither could have predicted what was to follow... Now viewed by many as one of the most influential early electronic dance records, Rude Movements was swiftly picked up on by David Mancuso, who used it to devastating effect at his infamous Loft Parties, in turn introducing it to Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles, David Morales and Kenny Dope, a group of young DJs who would go on to write the blueprint for dance music as we know it.
