4 to the Floor presents Fourth Floor RecordsThe "4 to the Floor" series continues to delve into the history of house music, looking at some of the must influential labels in house music history. The latest offering in the series is looking at legendary New York based Fourth Floor Records (rebranded in 1997 as 4th Floor Records), with the featured tracks selected and compiled by Luke Solomon. The label's impressive catalogue features very early releases from Todd Terry using the aliases Black Riot and Masters at Work (a name he later passed on to Louie Vega and Kenny Dope) like "A day in the life", "Alright alright" and "Dum dum cry", seminal classics such as "The morning after" by Fallout and "Take some time out" by Arnold Jarvis, as well as many forgotten gems from the likes of Bamboo, Royal Orchestra, M.O.D.E. or Love Root, all of which are included in this release.
