Okdokey- haven't got time for a biggie but here's a few Detroit related things:
New Mark Flash on UR is an interesting departure for him- very "west london" broken beat/Jazzanova style stuff New Mills- Alpha Centuri- he's been a bit hit or miss over the last couple of years but this is a hit for me. The Good , The Bad and The Deep from Rick Wade on Yore- double album of Rick's trademark deep house grooves- couple of dodgy trumpet solos here and there but excellent summer grooves throughout. Dan Curtin 10" on Delsin- phew! What a scorcher! Bernard Badie 12 on Mojuba- harking back to the old school sounds of Cajmere, this is some REAL house music! Electronic Warefare 2.1- perviously only through the Submerge site, now more widely available- excellent mix by Skurge Not from strictly from Detroit but check out the Alpha 606 12 on interdimensional transmissions if you're after advanced Electro. Really nice to hear Rythmatic's take on the early Kevin Saunderson sound on the Network re-releases- amazing how spares and clean these tracks sound after 15 years- simple but very effective stuff. Stuff I just like: Syclops album on DFA- Maurice Fulton crosses every genre known to man with this double album- can't think of a single reason not to buy it- its fantastic. New Alex Cortex thing- wasn't a big fan until a couple fo years ago- he's growing in stature all the time now though Trelik represses- Make A Move by Minimal Man on Baby Ford's old label get's a very welcome second airing- been playing this for years- it's ace. Losoul on fire as usual- remixing on Sonar Kollective Move D- Drone on Modern Love- thought it was a bit dull at first then completely changed my mind. Sorry these "reviews" are a bit short! cheers Jason
