## What 2 lists say

### No. 9 in [Electro](https://waxonia.com/genre/electro/)

The bridge to Chicago: a New York electro record that Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles played as though it were house, because functionally it already was.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — In the Room](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-chicago-in-the-room/)

A New York electro record that Chicago played as house. The line people draw between the two genres was not visible from inside the booth, and this is the record that proves it.
