Full reissue of the classic track ‘On & On’ by Jesse Saunders, considered by many as the first house track. Backed with the original rhythm tracks!

This month we will be releasing a reissue of the classic track “On & On” (1984) by Jesse Saunders. Some consider this might be one of the first house tracks ever made. The suite of drum tracks he created – raw, analogue rhythms, full of repetitive synthesized handclaps and cowbells – became a staple in his sets, through his use of the drum machine (the TR 808) at the Playground. Inadvertently, they also became the blueprint for house music as we know it today.

On its release in January 1984, “On and On” would become a huge hit on the Chicago scene, inspiring other local DJs and musicians to make their own house music. Listen carefully to many early house records, and you can still hear the influence of Saunders’ brutal “808” programming. Back in 2013, remastered by Saunders from the original master tapes, this 12” includes all the tracks from the Je-Say release – including the drum tracks that changed the course of musical history.
