Luke Hess feat. Omar S – Michigan Central Station EP [ECHOCORDCOLOUR012]

Michigan Central Station built in 1913 for the Michigan Central Railroad, was Detroit, Michigan’s passenger rail depot from its opening in 1913 until the discontinuance of Amtrak service on January 6, 1988. At the time of its construction, it was the tallest rail station in the world. The building, located in the Corktown district of Detroit still stands today, though it remains unoccupied. Restoration projects and plans have gone as far as the negotiation process, but none have come to fruition. Spread throughout the city of Detroit and its surrounding metropolitan area, the decay of once magnificent buildings during the industrial revolution and automobile era now cast a shadow of despair on a once flourishing city. These monuments of achievement now lay barren and forsaken by city government. Infrastructural restoration and city development are fundamental elements in Detroit’s recovery, and the recovery of cities worldwide. It is time for revival in our cities, but first, in our souls. The Michigan Central Station EP is a platform for this change.

Shed – The Traveller [OSTGUTCD014]

One of the most cherished artists in the Ostgut family, Shed returns with his sophomore album “The Traveller”.  It’s a more subtle and perhaps more confident record than Shedding The Past,  taking in austere dub minimalism (‘The Bot’), gauzy ambient interludes (‘STP 2′), imperious acid techno (‘My R-Class’), and, on closing track ‘Leave Things’, a kind of scuffed, ecstatic jungle reminiscent of Aphex Twin’s ‘Polynomial-C’. FACT’s Kiran Sande called up Pawlowitz in Berlin to discuss the LP, and the unlikely debt it owes to the Pet Shop Boys…”

Walt J – Reborn [CURLE-P04]

https://i0.wp.com/residentadvisor.net/images/reviews/2010/curle-p04.jpg

Classic 1997 house track from Walt J aka Walter Jones. Curle have jumped at the chance to re-issue it and we don’t blame them. Plus they’ve got DJ QU – easily one of the best underground house producers around at the moment – to do one hell of a rework.
