A music survey of the New York independent label POWER MUSIC and its sublabels. Props to the maestro DJ Duke. Despite being an independent New York label, the Power Music label was very prolific, and had many sub labels. DJ Duke released many of his own productions, but many other producers and DJs as well. I have always admired DJ Duke’s production skills, including his sound design, EQing and compression, not to mention his songwriting skills, and his unrelenting commitment to the New York underground house sound. I have never heard a cheesy Power Music release.
