With Dave away at Mutek this week, Matt pilots the mothership solo. Back from the Movement ’04 Festival in Detroit and stuffed with some classic and new joints from the vinyl bins of Wayne county. It’s one single mix, split in 2 files for download:

Part 1 > starts in a slow-n-low basement party groove and takes time to explore classic synth-funk and boogie styles (check: I’m Out To Catch!) into brilliant new depths from Metro Area, new ultra-synthetic disco from Carlos Hernandez on a split 12\” w/ Danny Wang, rubbery funk on an excellent Random Factor 12\”, and warm analog italo-techno from Francisco on Pigna.

Part 2 > goes on a more deliberate blue-out Detroit sound excursion, from raw 313-style loft house, to deep new Techno soul from UR, and winding down to a Rotating Assembly / Moodymann drive up Gratiot on a steamy June night. New slabs from DJ Minx, Perception, and Ferris Park too.
