Part 1 > Riding a summer edge where moody techno meets house: Beautifully arranged electronics from Morgan Geist & Titonton rolls into a cool Mark Pritchard remix in a broken/midtempo flavor, and a seminal remix by Charles Webster of UK’s Hot Lizard. Fazed-out funk from Random Factor with gorgeous chord change-ups keeps house interesting, and a classic by R-Tyme from Detroit’s Music Institute days.

Part 2 > orchestral strings upstage their synthetic counterparts on deep techno from rene et gaston, which gets locked into a global communication idm classic. a jump back in time brings chicago’s tyree out for an industrial-tinged acid flashback, and we ride the night out with more uptempo melodic techno from aril brikha, carl craig, and kenny larkin (remixed by luke slater).

Part 1 > House, disco & boogie electrons crisscross the circuit from Detroit/Minneapolis/NYC/Chicago. New Moodymann, Prince’s floor burner freakout into synthy boogie dub from Aurra, and an emotional wrencher from Herbie Hancock. NYC brings the heavies: Arthur Russell as Dinosaur L, Patrick Adams’ Universal Robot Band on the moog-disco tip, and Pal Joey warms up sample house as only he can. But Roy Ayers reminds us its all about Chicago, Chicago!

Part 2 > derrick carter provides the vocals to continue matt’s old school vibe, and we leap forward in time with hypnotic bites from aroy dee as well as the gadgets crew and the one and only black dog. the feel softens further with less-heard music from juan atkins, and darkens courtesy of germany’s k2 O and vibrant labels, leaving off with autechre doing tri-repetae-style remix honors for seefeel.

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. 😛

Part 1 > New discojack techno from $tinkworx kicks to the future/past vein, to Herbie Hancock in a dancefloor moment plus synthy boogie from Fatback draws us into Prince’s raw funk classic Let’s Work.. so let’s work on some raw electronic disco before we get Berlin and Detroit get stuck in an underwater diving bell, with only a Jamaican reverb unit to keep them company. Plus Metro Area’s b-side of flute dub deepness.

Part 2 > heavy kicks and detroit strings flow first, featuring new music from ross 154 on a 12\” that blends the raw sound of chicago’s late 80s house and the coolness of classic dutch techno. chicago’s steve tang provides the dutch-sounding atmospheric transition into electro, from the sci-fi sounds of carl finlow as il.ek.tro to the tripped out ‘nine’ from rac. spacious nighttime techno from monolake and kenny larkin takes us into saturday.

Part 1: Hip-hop from Shake, downtempo from Moodymann, a lost soul dusty from D.J. Rogers, and some Arthur Russell oblique disco and deep italodisco by Asso get it started.

New cuts round it out by Detroit’s Kenny Larkin, UK’s Kirk Degiorgio, and subwoofer decay deepness from JS-01.

Part 2: a chicago-to-berlin connection starts us off in the mid 90s, and we forge several years earlier into bleepier cuts, including the eerie first release on the dutch eevo lute imprint. new music from u.s. producer gys (think monolake) darkens the picture, followed by a sampling of artificial intelligence sounds from the likes of stasis (under his various monikers), cim, and b12 with a haunting piece as cmetric..
