Oftentimes in this busy and chaotic world it’s challenging to draw a parallel between two
congruent events. In this case drawing its inspiration from Detroit’s meteoric rise from the ruins
of the past, BerettaMusic a label founded in Detroit in 2002 who took a several year hiatus is
back in a big way, also rising from the ashes like it’s birth city has done.
Ryan Sadorus who co-founded the label with Brian Kage delivers some next level quirky Detroit
house jams. Already getting spins by local Detroit DJ’s and the verdict is in and the tracks are
dance floor ready and sure to get people moving. The release also features vinyl artwork by
renowned midwest artist Jon Griffin featured on full color vinyl jackets.
First off is “Slippah”, a shuffling and quirky bass heavy stormer. The track builds through
various levels dropping into syncopated and distorted vocal riffs, lifting its way into some pulsing
synth stabs with perfectly timed filtering which lends itself to the overall energy rise through the
track. With a huge breakdown and vocal stab sequence, it’s sure to have them moving! “Hit
'em with da slippah!”
Expansive is a chugging deep house tune with atmospheric synth business to really set the
mood anytime of the night. A deep bassline carries the tune along into a breakdown complete
with a quote from the man himself, Carl Sagan.
Brian Kage delivers a stunning remix of Expansive, imprinting his own defined style he’s
known for as he keeps things level grounded with evolving Detroit-inspired soulful elements.
Last but not least, “Flexxin” is ripping speaker work out of epic proportions. Another quirky,
bass heavy jam that will definitely wake up the dance floor.
