Third Ear’s Detroit Beatdown series was instrumental in redefining the perception of Detroit electronic music abroad. Now we come to the final Detroit Beatdown release. Four Detroit artists giving us as good an ep as any of the releases in the series. The tracks by Mike Clark and Rick Wade rank amongst their best, for sure. DJ-T1000, a Detroit producer and DJ known for some of the city’s hardest Techno, surprises with a stripped-back groove that is pure electronic Funk. Wrapping up the ep is Scott Ferguson’s A Groove, a heavy skanking groove with that classic Beatdown rawness.

DETROITROCKETSCIENCE/KUBA SOJKA - 22 300 Miles Above Neo Detroit

Alan Oldham aka Detroitrocketscience shares a retro-sounding Neo-Detroit split with Kuba Sojka. Oldham’s two tracks trek across trippy, metallic harmonics on ‘Curved Space’ and proper, swinging hi-tek funk calculations on ‘Black Math’. Sojka meanwhile offers the acid-licked and uptempo 313 romance of ‘Low Gravity’ and ‘Black Hole’s plush Techno soul.
