Recently I been feelin a lot of detroit sounds and diggin old and new. Tbh there's a lot of stuff I like and a lot which bores me to shit as well. So far I'm liking a blend of detroit hip/hop, soulful/vocal house etc. Stuff like Blake Baxter, Abe Duque, Moodymann, Aaron Carl, Omar-S (love the sidetrax stuff ), Andres, Theo Parrish. I'm less into the super deep ambientish stuff and I'm looking in Hardwax, Juno etc but coming up with a lot of that. So any recommendations to more artists, labels would be cool thanx

Inner City
Virgo

.....are all worth checking out.

Detroit Techno- for me was the most innovative style of dance music to emerge in the mid 80s fusing sophisticated sounds, heavy drum programming and funk driven rugged b-lines. Also a little known fact is that this music became a staple for jazz dancers during this time when you hear it you can tell why.

I truly believe these and other old skool jams will be coming back, I have heard some of them sampled and of course the bopstar track is based on Nude photo- It would be great to hear some of these old skool bangers along side the Fingarpint Nightimes and Geeneus yellowtails of today...
