Arthur Russell

Arthur’s most coveted, storied 12” finally comes to light of day, replete in its Danny Krivit and Tony Morgan mixes, featuring Peter Zummo, Julius Eastman and Allen Ginsberg on board, and long hailed as a peak of NYC’s disco-not-disco era that swirled limbs at the Loft and ever since. 100% essential!

Disco, garage, and avant-garde all at once, ‘In the Light of the Miracle’ is more simply an ultra club classic beloved by successive waves of dancers since its original version became a staple at the Loft as a dubplate during the ‘80s. It would emerge in truncated album form on the posthumous set ‘Another Thought’, but DJs and diggers have long known that longer, deeper edits by Danny Krivit and Tony Morgan existed in the vaults, as famously discovered on tapes by Philip Glass, and initially snaffled for release by Gilles Peterson’s Talking Loud, where it only reached a white label pressing n 1996, which has understandably become a grail ever since.
