Begin in a NYC roller rink: boogie basslines & funky synths, nylon yellow warm-ups and crackin’ claps. Then a detour to darker Chicago warehouse sounds with creepy Black Devil Disco Club, Maurizio and Farley… and a new (unearthed) Ross 154 track that almost reminds of Mr. Fingers. After landing us squarely in Detroit, we bridge to UK/313-style techno. Kick off Part 2 with a red-hot new 12\” from Claro Intelecto, techno icon Ken Ishii (as Flare), Stacey Pullen and Claude Young remixing Rue East keeps things tough yet funky.
