Hey everyone, I couldn't find this incredible album easily available online, so I'm sharing it here because Midtown 120 Blues is an absolute masterpiece of deep house music that's too important to be overlooked. Released in 2008 as DJ Sprinkles' debut full-length under that moniker (by the legendary Terre Thaemlitz), this album dives deep into the raw, unfiltered roots of house music. It's a poignant treatise on the genre's origins in New York's underground scene, critiquing how mainstream culture has erased and sanitized the struggles of marginalized communities: think transgender sex workers, black market hormones, addiction, racism, gender crises, unemployment, and censorship. The tracks evoke the melancholy echo of empty midtown dancefloors at 120 BPM, blending lush, emotive house with spoken-word reflections that hit like a gut punch. It's not just music; it's a vital, political statement on queerness, labor, and resistance in club culture.
