A Detroit techno legend steps up for the Clashmusic mix this week, Kevin Saunderson.
One of the acclaimed “Belleville Three”, along with Juan Atkins and Derrick May, Saunderson helped pioneer the Detroit sound through his production prowess, although he is – somewhat ironically – perhaps best known in wider circles for several tracks by his Inner City project with Paris Grey, ‘Big Fun’ and ‘Good Fun’.
And though still very much renowned for his techno back catalogue and work alongside Atkins and May, Saunderson has always been a distinctive artist in his own right, refusing to be shaped by one genre. As such, Saunderson proves his house chops on his Clashmusic mix, exploring a range of deep, funky contemporary Chicago and Detroit house vibes.
Tracks by fellow Detroit luminary Stacey Pullen and Mathew Jonson’s Cobblestone Jazz project are featured on the mix, but then as a cheeky nod to his legacy, Saunderson dives back into techno territory for the end of the mix, finishing with a cluster of varied, beefy techno edits of several Ben Sims’ tracks, under Saunderson’s own Reese moniker. It’s a masterful touch.
Kevin Saunderson will be playing at VIVa Warriors, Sankeys Ibiza, this summer, at the opening party on 4 July and on 15 August.
