The most iconic and exceptional tracks featuring the TR-909
Many would say that ‘Tears’ is the track that helped launch his career, but Robert Owens’ first venture into the spotlight came with ‘I’ll Be Your Friend’. Although he can also be credited with delivering one of the first house albums with Larry Heard in 1988, he really reached his stride when he linked up with Frankie Knuckles, David Morales and Satoshi Tomiie in New York to collaborate. Released in 1991, ‘I’ll Be Your Friend’ climbed the charts to become the #1 dance track in the world. Andy Caldwell of Soulstice fame would later name it as one of his favorite tracks to use the TR-909 and refer to it as “the house record to end all house records.”
