Carl Craig – The KMS Remixes [KMSRMX003]

One Detroit legend takes on another here with Carl Craig tackling some classics from Kevin Saunderson’s legendary KMS imprint. First up is his revision of the classic ”Ahnonnghay” by Inner City with its epic, soaring strings and superb synth lead that just reeks of the Motor City. The relentless handclap workout of his take on Esser’ay’s “Forces” and an honourable mention to the classic that is ”Till We Meet Again” with its razor sharp arpeggio, soulful diva strings and strings arrangement that builds and builds with the Carl Craig touch.

Mayday – The Darkside [PC000]

Taken from a mysterious Acetate cut by Derrick May in 1987 this release was originally penned for KMS offshoot Pheerce Citi. Both these sides were later released – ‘The Darkside’ = as ‘A Relic’ (by Longer Than Long ago) and ‘Tic Tic Tic’ was later released on the limited edition compilation as Music Institute 20th Anniversary as ‘Untitled’. Both tracks are however, very hard to get on vinyl and have now been re issued as loud 45rpm pressings in Pheerce Citi artwork and remastered for 2014.

BICEP - Vision Of Love

It’s a rare thing for two labels to come together to release a track, but KMS Records and Feel My Bicep have done exactly that. “Vision Of Love” was produced by two London based, Belfast-born blogger-production-DJ duo, Matt McBriar and Andy Ferguson. No remixes have been commissioned on “Vision Of Love”, but KMS is very lucky and very happy to announce that none other than Carl Craig himself, has graciously submitted a ‘c2 Edit’ and a ‘c2 Bonus Edit’, to make this a very special release indeed.
