5 essential stuff

  • Tribe – Rebirth [Community Projects/Planet E]

    Wooaw woaw wooooaw. (What can I say ?)
  • Deetron – Zircon/Orange [Music Man]
    [ MM 148 ]
    I am a fan of everything Sam Geiser has done with Music Man, and I think this is the best thing he’s done to date. So simple but insistently brilliant.
  • Jeff Mills – The Drummer [Purpose Maker]
    [ PM-022 ]
    More Mills(art) loveliness.
  • Trish Van Eynde – Subject Belgium [Subject Detroit]
    [ SUB-033 ]
    Fantastic funkiness, straight forward Subject Detroit music. Trish Van Eynde is on fire.
  • Silent Servant/Santiago Salazar – La Noche/La Minoria [Historia y Violencia]
    [ H&V 002 ]
    Those 2 are as nice as always, I like what Historia y Violencia label is doing at the moment.

5 novelties (* all in promo status.)

  • Jolka – The Jolka Experience [Sect] / Davor O. – Transitional Objects Remixes [Matrix]
    [ Sect 6 ] [ Matrix 20 ]
    10/10 (The Jolka Experience). No need to say more… "Transitional Objects Remixes" is a simply awesome package of mixes. This is the best thing Matrix has done in a while.
  • Traxx – Faith [Nation]
    [ NAT-007 ]
    Classic, great forward thinking house music. Jack your body !!
  • (A guy from D) – (A track on A-Side) [(An UK label)]
    (I can’t tell you any details yet……) That D guy returns to an UK quality techno label with sweet, sweet techno stuff. This is what Detroit techno soul is all about.
  • Rennie Foster – Songs For Homeless Housers [Greta Cottage Workshops]
    [ GCW 003 ]
    Foster goes house in his own fashion. ‘Butterfingers’ is a really amazing tune, just class production all the way.
  • Mick Welch – Morphological Construct EP [Elektrosouls]
    [ ESR-001 ]
    Reminiscent of B12′s work, great melodic stabby winner on new Crawley-based label to definitely look out for.

5 oldies

  • 69 – 4 Jazz Funk Classics [Planet E]
    [ PLE 65307-1 ]
    The first record I ever bought – back when I was 14 years old. I must have listened to this stuff a thousand times back then. ‘Ladies & Gentlemen’ sounded like nothing else I had heard before and I still love it. C2 always makes my day.
  • 69 – Lite Music [Planet E]
    [ PLE 65307-1 ]
  • 69 – Sound On Sound [Planet E]
    [ PLE 65307-1 ]
  • 69 – Pungtang [Planet E]
    [ PLE 65307-1 ]
  • The Detroit Experiment – The Detroit Experiment [Planet E]
    [ PE 65272-1 ]

Thank you for reading.

  • (in no particular order)
  • 5 novelties
    • Lee Holman – Back In The Day (CY’s Old School Mix) [GodWrk/White Label] / Rennie Foster – GTC (Claude Young remix) [White Label]
      Claude Young returns with more beautiful and classy remixes. He’s getting better and better and we need more producers like him.
    • Erica LaFay – Rain (Special Vinyl Only Edition) [Wallshaker Music]
      [ WMAC 29 ]
      Definitely a classic release of Detroit music – Motown techno-house-soul fusion.
    • Polar Pair ft. Atlantis – This Is What Happens (Mark Flash remix) [Botanika]
      [ Balut 003 ]
      Fucking wicked. Mark Flash does a tight but funky as hell makeover. This is a full on dancefloor with a spoken vocal from Atlantis.
    • Matt Chester – Die For A Reason EP [11th Hour]
      [ EHR 007 ]
      More deep goodness from Matt Chester, big big Detroit business.
    • Various – The Lost Tribe Of Techno [Subject Detroit]
      [ SUBCD-1007 ]
      Excellent collection of authentic Motor City machine music. Highly recommended.
  • 5 oldies
    • Slam – Positive Education (Original Re-master) [Soma]
      Soma re-release Slam’s classic Positive Education with remixes by Fergie and Octogen, but I still loooove the original.
    • Technasia – Future Mix [Technasia]
    • Solid Gold Playaz – Alone My Life Underground [Kanzleramt]
    • Dopplereffekt – Gesamtkunstwerk [Victoriaville]
    • Round One to Round Five – 1993-99 Main Street Records [Main Street Records]

Last but not least, I switched to Facebook from MySpace.

  • (in no particular order)
  • Jeff Mills – The Good Robot [Axis]
    [ AX-055 ]
    Classic artist, classic label, classic record.
  • Laurent Garnier – Gnanmankoudji [PIAS]
    [ 9450144714 ]
    Fantastic. I have been playing ‘Original Broken-Afro Mix’ for a while now and just adore the track !
  • Ican – El Quinto EP [Ican Productions]
    [ ICAN-005 ]
    An absolutely awesome record, very original and super cool.
  • Vince Watson – My Desire [Planet E]
    [ PLE 65305-1 ]
    Beautiful work as always from Vince Watson.
  • Rolando – The Afterlife EP [Saved Records]
    [ SVALB-02 ]
    For me definitely the finest Rolando work since the Aztec Mystic releases – ‘The Afterlife’, a very classy Detroit shit.
  • DJ Bone – Encounter 2 [Bastardo Electrico]
    DJ Bone returns with slammin’ Encounter stuff. Thanks to Jamie Behan for making this happen.
  • Santiago Salazar – Arcade [Macro Recordings]
    [ MACROM11 ]
    Another S2 gem – once again deepness and darkness. Stefan Goldmann does a fine job too, a gorgeous piece of music.
  • Stefan Goldmann – Art Of Sorrow [Victoriaville]
    [ 4-46074 ]
    Biiiiiiig, fucking massive. Goldmann did it again.
  • Dactilar – Phonograph EP [Organica Music Labworks]
    [ ORG 002 ]
    Sounds very Detroit/Sheffield inspired. Very good indeed.
  • Mark Broom & Mihalis Safras – Jelle [Soma]
    [ Soma 262 ]
    Good as always from these two great producers – Mark and Mihalis are always consistent.
