part 1 > Peter Brown’s bleepy Burning Love Breakdown beats the drums among funky disco dubs. Trans-Atlantic Electrifyin’ Mojo crosstalk of UK’s Ultravox and Detroit’s Cybotron casts long shadows. Claude Young w/ words by DJ Bone explains the unexplainable Detroit ‘Mind Dance’. Brand new technosoul EP from Juan Atkins, and killer new remixes of Unit 4’s Bodydub from the Netherlands meets Chicago WBMX electronic disco & house.

part 2 > late 1980s minimalism from detroit, new york, and england wind it up, subsiding into an atmospheric broken/downtempo center anchored by madcap’s remake of speedy j. late-night radiance from basic channel wakes up to squelching techno from aphex twin and kalamazoo’s black nation label.

matt’s got the week off, recuperating under cold lake michigan water after buying too many hot records last weekend (so keep your ears wide open for the next few weeks!). dave hits up chicago and new york for some house from the old and middle schools, and arrives at instant insanity from theo parrish. a bliss-out session from connection machine builds into mechanical techno and electro, including dopplereffekt, early synewave (nyc) and neuropolitique. ludovic navarre (st. germain – and in this case, modus vivendi) takes us into the home stretch with a cosmic acid-frosted epic.
