there is beauty to be found in the barren streets of detroit. but they also hold an unexpected danger. solitude can sometimes make you feel like youre on another planet alien soundscapes and stark sound shape lonely beats on these lonely streets.

the british producer luke solomon wanted to add his own remix of thankyou porvenir to the oblack collection. a remix that is gonna give more than one broken bone in the hip and pelvis. it is music strictly made to dance to, full of energy and showing the craziest side of house. a track where horns and whistles can be heard, even pixelated voices, with an insane 8beat path that gives to the song the exact amount of tasty flavour. no joke fellas! this is a kind of slam dunk piece for solomon

another clever techno release with emphasis on quality and structure and not forgetting the input from detroit dub merchant luke hess. *terminator reserve* is dominated by a thick bass line, razor sharp percussion, devastating juno stabs and with tonnes of analogue warmth coming from its abyssal depths. the luke hess remix provides the deep qualities of the original however its much more repetitive in its nature making it truly hypnotic and one you cannot help but get completely lost in. on the b side *mediator* is rough and ready ... booming kicks, dynamic bass shifts accompanied by the right amount of snare and filter inputs make this one of the toughest on the release not forgetting that its split down the middle with a heavy 303 bleed. highly recommended! *stilled* runs off in the opposite direction to the other track it shares the b with as its laden with detroit influenced floating chords and percussion.

sophomore album from luke hess on fxhe records. the 12-track *keep on* features guest spots from detroit poet papa smurf and hess brother jeff, as well as mixing assistance from omar-s.

detroits monty luke delivers full flavor musics seventeenth release, the bomb on bomb ep. other than being carl craigs right-hand man at planet e communications, monty luke has been building quite the reputation lately with solid releases on labels like planet e, mothership, and his own black catalogue imprint. the bomb on bomb ep consists of three originals that cross the boundaries from acid house to funky techno to four-on-the-floor downtempo. >in love with a dancer< is the eps total driver, with meaty synth stabs, teasing builds, and cleverly processed vocal treatments that scatter though the mix. >bomb on bomb< is a sly combination of classic-sounding acid house keys, pulsating rhythms, and a soulful vocal going on about a sexy lady. >13th city stranger< is a sleek, downtempo house track and one of the first things monty recorded after moving to detroit from san francisco. solid stuff all around from monty luke and full flavor music.

the labeldebute from be that as it may is served by ricardo esposito and michael nadje, with friendly support from luke hess.
the a-side of the record is the epic title track >nieves<, that in a straight way controls the nightly events on the basement floors. nieves is without a doubt taking each and every clubber on a mind trip. thanks to the drums in various arrangements, in combination with the heavy bass, nieves generates a forcing groove that even makes the floor dance.
luke hess reshapes nieves in a consisting and open way. with the given resources the remix is coming to an unsurpassed dynamic, which through percussion and dubby chord patterns is impressively direct. with this interpretation hess respectfully completes the release with sovereignty. vivantes is a classic tool which builds on the foundations of dub and rhythm. through the strongly repetitive pattern vivantes developes to something meditative, grounding the listener at the end of a journey of this extended play.
it is what it is.
