He released it on a Detroit label under an alias so everyone would think it was.

Fuck man I’m gonna have to go Kenny Larkin digging in the crates nowww. Bloke has had incredible quality control across the decades.

^:)  I got inspired and went 12" purchasing.

That Daniel Bell trawk is juicy. Wasn’t always a fan of his signature bleeps n clicks, but when he got the rhythm track synced in succinctly with it’s accompanying elements & groove it’s (usually) just exactly perfect 

It doesn't make good home listening but it's very intense a club. Have you heard his Button down mind mix cds from years ago? He is an incredible dj.

He did some killer house stuff too. Some people would rip your eyes out for a copy of this.

No Dilla postings at all? I smiled at the lack of Eminem and Kiss but no Dilla?!

(the story behind that video is amazing, Jerry Stackhouse was extorted so they could use his house to films scenes)

And close enough:

Second post of the thread! 

But I'm glad you have no objection to my upcoming Kid Rock and Insane Clown Posse submissions.

So for all the great celebrated music out of Detroit, it appears some of the worst music has also originated there.

And yeah totally missed the 2nd post.

Forgot this:

Dilla's work is well worth a thread of his own, where do you even begin?

These mixes have rolled through the tests of time, Jeff Mills cut-n-pasting all sorts:

Kevin Saunderson's Deep Space Radio rrrrocks

3rd Ear put out some thumping beatdown releases, too many good tracks to lists individually. Vol 1 below & the Vol 2 ep's are mint

FXHE is a wormhole, what a catalogue. Think Big Strick is a cousin of Omar S, thumping gear, gotta kip but someone to comeback to

That's Nick Speed with the UR shirt at 2:30. He released a great instrumental hip hop record on UR which nobody has uploaded. But he did another great record on Mahogani Music >

Another Stone's Throw artist from the D. I love this video.

Hey I like Moodymann too 

hell of a production sheet, gigs are like church, could seriously tangent into a KDJ fred now fireworks Nov 5th crap done, where were we? 

No ulube link but Celestial Contact is a keeper

Sound of Thought = mosh

vids won’t embed, so time to dig 
 

Huckaby remix is the shit. This one too!

@Enthusiast That’s Huckaby is heavy. You caught me mid post with Urban Tribe, just lemme tonk these quickly

Long w/out meandering, trance with a small t, rolling, speaking from experience Dowsing sounds ridiculous through a good rig. Compression is an art on tracks like that. Whatever people’s take on the wankfest that is dj culture, mixing longer tracks allows you the wriggle room to roam & weave around blending transitions so that each record become bigger than the sum of its respective parts. Huckaby is a universe.

Different groove, my Ma turned me onto this Temptations tune first, swwwwwwing

Detroit title-related cheating

Just to contradict myself from earlier, KDJ’s shorter version of Don’t You Want My Love is more succinct than the extended, boring-intro one released. Guaranteed w.m.d. 

Gotta kip, Urban Tribe tomorrow 

And you wonder why you can’t remember the title...

Only just discovered Detroit In Effect aka D.I.E. Thanks to a re-release on Clone.

Classic techno from the car-city.
