if we ever called it a classic…this is what we meant . after releasing one of the best artist album of the last years on carl craigs planet e label, kenny larkin joins now forces with one of the most influential artists of the recent times shlomi aber, and his acclaimed label be as one imprint. shlomi aber and legendary detroit pioneer kenny larkin are two artists that needs no introduction to the techno crowds. while the first one is recognized as one of the most forward thinking artists of the recent years, the other one is responsible for releasing some of the finest pieces of electronic music ever produced. sketches ep comes with 2 different versions of the same track, both having old school vibes reminiscent of the days when house and techno went hands in hands. kennys version is a superbly produced slice of techno, with an amazing drums progression in a typical larkin style sustaining a hypnotic lead pattern, all conjuring together to take the dancefloor into a 10 minutes long, deep and mind tripping tour. label boss shlomi aber, takes a different approach by putting out a tougher version, a loopy phat bassline and a jazzy rhythm with snare hits makes this tune a funkier techno shuffle a pure classic to come, already supported by basically everyone, from the detroit old school guys to the recent house and techno leaders

autonation s sit on the bass was released on esteemed label r&s , 18 years ago in 1991.. (shit! was it really 18 years ago??)
autonation kindly agreed to a re-release two years ago after a meeting in a pub in ladbroke grove. sit on the bass has been a mainstay of label boss jerome hill s sets since it s release all those years ago and still sounds relevent and rocks crowds today.
