Virgo are Merwyn Sanders and Eric Lewis, who only recorded a handful of seminal 12"s for legendary Chicago house imprint Trax Records during the 1980. While not the most prolific producers of their era, their releases are widely recognised as classics of the genre. Virgo's recordings have recently been reissued by the Dutch Rush Hour imprint on a single album.

DJ Deep, House Of Trax, Paul Johnson
Chicago is a state of mind. 30 years of house music history have made Chicago a mythical, imaginary place, only loosely related to the actual city.
Inspired by DJ Deep's recent tribute compilation, which includes a wealth of international artists, and more...

Classic Alert! Merwyn Sanders and Eric Lewis are two of Chicago house music's great unsung heroes: Friends since childhood, they started making music together in their early teens, only releasing a handful of tracks for legendary labels Trax and Saber during the late 1980s - raw and soulful house music anthems such as 'Do You Know Who We Are' or 'Ride'.
While these recordings are considered classics by collectors and fans, they have never brought their originators the kind of fame and recognition that some of their peers have managed to achieve.
Trax Record's infamous marketing ploys have certainly contributed to this, publishing the duo's releases under several different names such as M.E., Ace & The Sandman, and Virgo Four, despite prior Trax project Virgo, which consisted of Marshall Jefferson, Adonis and Vince Lawrence.
The ensuing confusion didn't help much to ensure Sanders and Lewis their deserved place in house music history, but this might change now the crate diggers at Rush Hour have remastered and reissued eight of their best tracks. This is an unmissable opportunity to get your hands on some of the finest house music ever made. Essential Release.
