The word >Detroit< is one that is used far too often in todayÆs techno realm. It seems that as soon as someone puts a pad over the top of a 4x4 kick drum they have the right to file their music under >Detroit Techno<. Soà when tracks like this arrive in your inbox with no accompanying information, well itÆs a breath of fresh air to say the least. These four tracks by new boy Mick Welch truly capture the essence of Detroit, bringing to mind the classic works by Derrick May, Kenny Larkin and even hints of influences a little closer to home, B12, Redcell, Kirk Degiorgio and the rest of the Applied Rhythmic Technology crew for example. Highly recommended.
