Part 1 > R&B synth-funk bomb from Renee & Angela leads midtempo moody soulful Detroit techno from Carl Craig as 69, 4th Wave, deep Isoul8 house remix of Volcov & Paradox, and smart new techno from UK’s Kirk Degiorgio. \”Soul Man\” Kenny Larkin on Warp goes deeper, Juan Atkins reminds us who the teacher is, and newer electro from Dynarec completes the circle.

Part 2 > matt interviews book author dan sicko about detroit’s movement fest 04 over a wash of detroit escalator company and vladislav delay. the aftermath continues in the mellow vein with an interesting bjork + monolake combination, followed by beautifully orchestrated contemplative sounds from manual, fresh out on the west coast’s darla label.

Part 1 > Starting in midtempo post-disco with Arthur Russell, a mix of synthy boogie tracks meet robotic beats from Kraftwerk and Isolee. Brand new italodisco style from Matzo & Pauli on Holland’s Viewlexx and new great energetic re-edit? on a mysterious new black label from Rong. Ending in an uplifting house place with a forthcoming jam from hotly tipped James Duncan on NYC’s Le Systeme that recalls the Prescription & KMS feel, and Chez-N-Trent close it out with their warm chicago/detroit dubbed out magic.

Part 2 > an extended tag-team starts with a housier vibe courtesy of recloose and joakim, and gets smoothed out with aril brikha and hot emotive new techno from pittsburgh’s sean rudiman. classic DBX remixed by carl craig gets a little mental, giving way to dancefloor techno from the uk’s paul mac and mark broom. We tossed part 2, sadly our mixing was too crap to ever bear hearing again. 😛
