this record tells the story of a detroit groove from the perspective of the speaker, taking you through time from luomo s to the hardware syst3m parties, and the first leaky warehouse roof no way back where dean syst3m worked the door, with all the disrespectful nature one would naturally expect from a true detroit groove. created by two veterans of detroit grooves, bmg & derek plaslaiko, who now calls berlin home, in bmgs studio in the center of detroit. this song celebrates some of the out there characters and crazy cowboy outlaws that made this detroit scene happen on the underground level, that made such an impact that is still felt around the world today.

nobody knows where these guys were beforehand, but this record is a real hit. a new release has emerged from an equally new label - detroit techno archive it reflects the labels name perfectly. the 12inch recording includes six wonderful detroit techno tracks, from a couple of artists. the first associations that come to mind are detroit legends like underground resistance, derrick may, stacey pullen, kenny larkin, and octave one. youll find some old-school techno with a rich groove, multilayered melodies, and some great stories behind them. this is real hi-tech jazz.

label boss dj bone mans the controls for the 38th release on subject detroit, laying down a typically fierce, three pronged auditory attack. *what he said* tactfully yet forcefully treads the line between house and techno, cherry picking physiognomies from each side of that ever-blurring line and constructing something fresh but bristling with familiar subject detroit elegances. a favourite fixture from bones more recent dj sets, *i do* sees bubbling, arpeggiated chords simmer and swoop from foreground to background loosely as one solitary, remanipulated ticking hat keeps things in formation. watch out for the thunderous, doubled-up drum arrangement that crashes in to the picture out of nowhere! b side track *rhythm soul funk* is a genuine hard hitter and another that tiptoes between the old school and the nouveau.

fabrice lig on dj bones subject detroit label backed with killer remixes from aaron carl and dj bone! allegedly stored in the subject archives for some time, *hmong dignity* is finally unleashed and the original will be familiar to anyone that has witnessed a dj bone set in recent years.

absent from the shelves of record shops for some four years, the detroit wax label operated by eddie fowlkes resurfaced in style with last years unsung hero ep. thats what makes a track represents the seventh detroit wax transmission from fowlkes and sees the producer offer up a double does of his own distinct technosoul sound. lead track *thats what i think about* starts with a deep beat and then expands neatly, adding further rhythmic detail and a killer vocal hook: this is what makes a song cool, special. complementing this, *computer* has fowlkes on hypnotic form, mixing deep beats with cosmic sounds which are again elelvated by his usage of vocals...

still music presents the second volume of the in the dark: detroit is back series showcases a wealth of the motor city taken including marcellus pittman, delano smith, rick white, amp fiddler and many more.

detroit master of technosoul eddie fowlkes shows us that he can still surprise us with his original beats. influenced by soul music, in love with dance music, this powerful track is a perfect combination of his inspirations. and it really makes you want to dance and feel the music go into your ears until *something e special* gets stuck in your head for good. bringing you catchy lyrics, vibrant beats and a great kick. who else than the legendary eddie fowlkes can declare war on dance music? well, not me. the only thing to do is to follow the hypnotizing beats and sounds of this track and let our bodies go crazy. and when the backbeats hit us, it transports us to a new level where we definitely join mr fowlkes on his trip to become his allies.

daren agers debut vinyl release! daren is a very well known and respected analog synth/modul teacher on the internet. having his own youtube channel with 2.5 million clicks we thought it was time to introduce this genius to the vinyl lovers as well! darens main influences come from the likes of drexciya, model 500, derrick may and carl craig. when listening to summer in detroit you can feel the influences from these heroes. there is a warm and beautiful detroit flavor all the way thru the track. on the b-side you will find halcyon days which is a acid-house track that makes you want to jump into the time capsule and travel straight back to the warehouse in chicago or the hacienda in manchester

george k, dj and producer, born in 1981, based in milan. his first steps in music date back a long time, when he began taking an interest in mixing and scratching techniques. his roots are hip hop and reggae, but in a short time thanks to breakbeat (rockit - herbie hancock) he abandoned that sound for experimentations in electronic music: techno was love at first listen, detroit and acid above all. with the passing of time he has begun to dedicate himself as much as possible to productions using synth and drum machine. now he has begun his new venture as owner/manager of his label fu.me where he will focus his work on promoting new and old sounds - without forgetting his roots - offering bad and dirty sounds .

the detroit threads record store has survived in one incarnation or another for more than16 years. in this time personal relationships have formed with music makers of every circle over the common bond of vinyl sound. it was a logical step to give back to this community a product that reflects the many faces that make up the store. a store that has been and will continue to be a hub for the exchange of ideas, kept alive by like minded people who still believe in the independent detroit spirit. this spirit shines upon the unique artists that move to their own beat, and never compromise their vision. detroit threads gives a voice to these artists that should be heard. nospectical is walter wasack, jennifer paull, and chistopher mcnamara. they are a team of detroit sound artists that lean into e.d.m. on the minimal tip. their comfort zone is inside of a sounds cape near the sphere of unconsciousness. nospectical is a cool dark breeze that is alive with a pulse. they tread into strangeness and let it come together to form a neurotic world. nospectical works to broaden the view and redefine the depth of detroit techno. detroit threads is proud to support this cause.

eddie flashin fowlkes has always fancied himself as the forgotten producer of the detroit militia, a point which he explicitly points to on the title of this new release for the detroit wax imprint. >unsung hero< is, interestingly enough, quite noticeably un-detroit sounding, rolling on a killer funky 2-step groove and breezy keys which would slot in nicely against the mellower end of uk garage. on the flip >we need more< takes a stripped approach to house with some strange and submerged vocals from don q and restrained organ stabs, leaving it to the steadfast, bongo-laden groove to do most of the work. unsung hero indeed!

the detroit threads team is at the center of a community of vinyl enthusiasts that take pride in their individual approach to sound. this community struggles to keep their vision alive though the warmth of the medium that holds a special place in the heart, vinyl. as the electronic sound evolves new faces and styles emerge to challenge the establishment. detroit threads hears those voices and works to give them a platform. hou531 and .kite were chosen to represent detrot threads, because they are the yin and yang of the detroit dubstep movement. hou531 has a rambunchous method of creating grinding dubstep that is a release from a lifetime of detroit pressure. where as, .kite uses ethereal synth ambience sprinkled lightly with drum and bass to create an environment that is both sad and beautiful. these artists are under the radar, but by no means are they irrelevant.
