Formed in 1985 by Larry Heard together with vocalists Robert Owens and Ron Wilson, Fingers Inc. was one of the first Chicago house groups and the first outlet for the production genius of Larry Heard. The year 1986 saw the group's first release 'Mystery Of Love' on DJ International Records that should become an instant club hit and reach top ten in the US dance charts. Though the group often took a sideline to Heard's solo project as Mr. Fingers, at their best they rivalled Ten City with expressive club gems like 'You're Mine', 'It's Over' or 'A Love of My Own'. They also spawned the first ever house LP in 1988 called 'Another Side'. This outstanding album should also remain Fingers Inc.'s last official release, though Heard kept on producing singles for Robert Owens and Ron Wilson, but moved on to pursue a solo career by the end of the decade.

The Compilation Chicago Dance Tracks Vol. 1
was reviewed:
Hiding behind the rather understated title of 'Chicago Dance Tracks Vol. 1', Rush Hour's latest strike is nothing short of a small house music sensation.Legendary Chicago DJ and producer Gene Hunt has raided his vaults of unreleased house music tracks, handed to him back in the day by their original producers, such as Larry Heard, Mike Dunn, Steve Hurley, Farley Funk, and Lil' Louis.
Twelve of these priceless and timeless tracks have made it onto this volume, decades after being recorded and last played out.
Gene Hunt has been a central figure of Chicago's house music scene for decades now, having picked up DJing in 1986 when he was 14 years old. He became the protégé of Ron Hardy, with whom he played at the Hyatt Park Athletic Club, and many of Chicago's first wave of house producers supplied the young gun with reel-to-reel tapes of edits and unreleased tracks.
Highlights on this collection include raw, jacking gems such as Mr. Fingers' 'Finger F*ck', dreamy proto-deep-house like Virgo Four's 'The Dryer', and Ron Hardy's original and super-minimal version of 'Sensation'.
The tracks Gene Hunt included on 'Chicago Dance Tracks Vol. 1' are both pieces of history and DJ-fodder for today's dance-floors. No one with even a passing interest in house and techno should miss this.
