I appreciate UR very much, but still not enough.

Yes UR are rugged from funk and jazz inflected grooves to experimental and stark minimal- they have it all covered. Loads of back catalogue as they have been around for about 20 years!

Heres 1 other ( was gonna post up 303 sunset as well) off the nation 2 nation ep where they fuse the funk the soul and the jazz to devastating effect

Dance floor business



303 use on this ep is staggering

This is in my mind the best Jeff Milss record. It has a loud synth and great classic UR 909 techno drums with 16th note hihats. This is a loud record. When UR played the Limelight in NYC for the 1st time they came on stage all dressed in black with black facemasks and asked the crowd if anyone was from Detroit. When no one cheered they yelled out "This is your punishment!" and blasted this song. The place exploded. 5 stars!

So many great records...

If you don't own any UR, their album 'Revolution for Change' contains some classic cuts.
