Back at the tail end of the last millennium BBE released a comprehensive overview of house music in the latter stages of the 20th century. >Henry Street Music: The Story So Far - 1993 To 1999< was a slice of superior contemporary club classics featuring all of the key players, architects and music makers of the day. Todd Terry, Armand Van Helden, Kenny Dope, DJ Sneak, 95 North, Robbie Rivera, Davidson Ospina, Ralphi Rosario, Mike Delgado, King Britt, and a handful of others under various alter egos and nom de plumes. It was a given that they were all great records, what was all the more impressive was that they all originated from the same recording home, Henry Street Music. A label conceived and devised by Johnny DeMairo, an Italian-American from Jersey who talked the talk, could easily have been an extra in The Sopranos, and was known affectionately as The Shark. To others he was just plain Johnny D, and one half of the production duo JohNick with studio partner Nicky P Palermo Jr. Tracks such as D2- D2 by Dj Duke are collectors classics and will be re-released and re-mastered on vinyl for the first time in over 10 years
