Over at ParteHardy.com (flash site, requires considerable clicking around), Bill Hardy has released the fourth installment of cult tracks from the late, great Musik Box maestro Ron Hardy.
"Are you Ready For This" by Revelation is definately one of them songs Ron introduced to his patrons and it grew on them fast. And this particular edit of his has an outpour of skill to it. Ron took bits and pieces of refrains, chours' and breakdowns to warrant one of the most sought after records of the era and turned it into a masterpiece only to call it his own.
And the flip side is just as great. Although its not a Ron Hardy its one of them track. "Don't You Know" is another homegrown track by one of the youngest producers of the era, Mr K Alexi. Come on now, this track is crazy and offers a sample from Ron's first press to wax production on Trax Records "Sensation".
