Stacy Burket

After relocating to New York City from his native Key West, Florida, Stacy Burket landed a job at Sleeping Bag/ Fresh Records. At the time, he was working on Hip Hop projects in his home studio in the evenings after work. But then, a new release on the label - Bango by The Todd Terry Project - caught his attention, and his thirst for house music was born. Three years later, in 1992, Burket’s first house record was released on Nitebeat Records, beginning his over-20-year career in house music. With releases on top labels such as Nervous, Stereo Productions, Eightball, Strictly Rhythm, Star 69, and Yoshitoshi, he has recorded under the names Topless in New York, Outamba, Futha Muckers, Groovaholic, Rainforest, and Luzon.In 1997, Stacy launched Tongue and Groove Recordings
