Kevin Saunderson - The Detroit Connection
May 19, 2007
The Ekspozicija 07: The Detroit Connection mix by Detroit legend Kevin Saunderson radiates all the energy that he has accumulated during his two-decade career as a DJ and producer.
It’s the essence of club culture captured in a 78-minute journey through the universe of synthesised sounds, the latest dance rhythms, and echoes of music history. It’s a mark of Kevin’s love of music and massive DJing experience that he has never drawn a strict line between the various sub-genres of electronic dance music – which is evident from the first listen of his new mix compilation.
This attitude can only be positive, considering that we are talking about a 78-minute trip through the most upfront club sounds. It’s a mix that takes the listener from climax to climax, it grabs and releases, then goes off in another direction – a head-spinning rollercoaster of emotions, energy and ecstasy that no-one but a musician with as much experience as Mr Saunderson could deliver.
As one of the godfathers of Detroit techno (the other two are his schoolmates Juan Atkins and Derrick May), and the inventor of the art of ‘remixing’ as we know it, Kevin is an innovator with an enviable body of work behind him. As a recording artist he was dangerously close to worldwide pop stardom (his project INNER CITY had 12 UK Top 40 chart hits and 2 Top 20 albums with combined sales of over 6 million), but he has always remained faithful to the underground. Ladies and gentlemen: Kevin ‘Master Reese’ Saunderson.
