What starts as a late remix submission to a compilation blossoms into a friendship that will last more than twenty-five years, that’s what house music legend Robert Owens and New York’s underground DJ and producer Groovecreator.
“Roy Davis Jr. did a single with you called ‘Slide’ and he hit me up to do the single for it”, Groovecreator replies on how he first met Robert Owens. “Roy Davis Jr. signed me on Underground Therapy Music Chicago back in 1998, so I've been on his label for a long time. So he hit me up with Robert Owens, and I was the last one on the remix, and he loved it and he had to call Kirk, stop the press, and add me to the art, and he debuted at Boiler Room. Then you were telling me about the remix and how you loved it, and I said, I could give you an instrumental because I know you like to sing over your tracks. We exchanged numbers, and then that's how we met.”
Robert Owens counters a different scenario of how the two first met. “You know, I thought I had met you before that because I used to live in New York. I did clubs here and everything. I used to do a club around the corner from Sound Factory. But I remember the whole Roy situation. I'm saying, your mixes were the strongest. It's like the more jacking kind of mixes. So when you asked me later about doing a remix of one of the tracks off of my Naked series album, it was instant.”
