[ Echocord ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) The first batch of remixes from Luke Hess's debut long player, Light In The Dark are predictably a dub heavy swag retouched by some of the leading lights of dub-based techno. Stephen Hitchell adopts his cv313 guise for a sublime, spatial meander through Hess's "Reel Life," opening up the reverb gates and giving the track a solid drenching in ambient white noise. The fragments borrowed from the track are chilled down to an icy freeze, sounding like they're contracting [...]

[ Echocord ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) Luke Hess is apparently determined to escape any and all pigeonholing that may come with his being a techno producer from the fabled city of Detroit. By infusing his streamlined Detroit techno with various elements of dub, field recordings, and, ahem, Jesus, Hess shows it's possible to emerge and flourish from under the mighty shadow (and baggage) of the Motor City. Light In The Dark , Hess's debut full-length and first outing for Echocord proper (with previous [...]

[ Kontra-Musik ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) Delivering on the promise of a heavily tipped 123 for Omar-S's FXHE label, Jason Fine's 2008 double-pack for Kontra-Musik, Our Music Music Is A Secret Order , was a remarkably confident collection of understated, soulful techno with vintage Detroit flavor. Owing perhaps to the secrecy of its order, Our Music wasn't much discussed, but perhaps these reinterpretations from a pair of rising stars will help that. Of the two remixes, Anton Zap's is the greater departure [...]

Art by gustav5 I'm not. In one it's roughest years in the past century, Detroit will have reason for rejoice for one solid weekend where artists from around the world will come and pay tribute to the city that started techno. The Detroit Electronic Music Festival kicks off during Memorial Day weekend, May 23-25, and you can pick up tickets Here . In other tributes, the music video to Claude Von Stroke 's "Who's Afraid of Detroit?" was shot in parts of Detroit, Chicago and DEMF itself. As a [...]

[ Modelisme Records ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) Luke Hess has shown signs of huge promise as a producer for a while now. As a Detroit native, he's charged with the difficult task of balancing that city's rich musical history with his own artistic voice, which is influenced by a rare (for a techno producer) focus on the spiritual. Hess' latest on Modelisme has been kicking around on his Myspace for a tantalizingly long time. From that version, it seemed that "Agape Dub," when it surfaced, [...]

Jason Fine - "Our Music Is A Secret Order" (Remixes) [Kontra Musik] (buy) Kontra-Musik have drafted in two solid producers to take on remix duties from Jason Fine's long player, "Our music is a secret order" which was released last year. Anton Zap & Luke Hess give us two different and distinct takes on a couple of tracks in the first part of this remix series. Anton Zap, who is no stranger to this blog & indeed one of the freshest house producers out there gives us his take [...]

Luke Hess Luke Hess is dé nieuwe ster aan de toch al zo rijkelijk met sterren bezaaide muzikale Detroithemel. Want als je je releases mag uitbrengen op het label van Omar S . en een promomix hebt uitgebracht op Underground Resistance dan doe je het in ieder geval lang niet slecht. De in Detroit opgegroeide Hess combineert een wiskundige achtergrond en voorliefde voor natuurgeluiden met een duidelijk oor voor detail. Zijn muzen moet je zoeken tussen Rob Hood, Basic Channel, Plastikman, Carl Craig, Radio Slave, Stewart Walker, Thinner, Force Inc., Mobilee, [...]

Months with no daily roundup, then two in the same week - whatever next? It seems with this economic crisis and general gloom and doom people are turning to bloggers more and more to get free publicity - great for us, however it does mean my inbox fills up more and more quickly. Here's the best of my inbox (and some other bits I love) so far this week... Luke Hess is coming to London next year, and I quite like what I'm hearing at the moment - kind of chilled [...]

Illustration by Alvarejo [ Echocord Colour ] ( buy vinyl ) While no proper affiliation exists between Detroit's Echospace and Denmark's Echocord, there is certainly an interesting volley of ideas taking place between the two like-minded labels. Both champion a sonorous mid-tempo dub style, and, with the recent launch of the sub-label Echocord Colour, both please collectors with lush transparent records. But while the former favors muffled bass kicks and swishing ambience, the latter keeps the dance floor a bit closer [...]

Luke Hess - Believe and receive [ Kontra-musik , 2008] ( d/l ) Swedish (Malmö) label Kontra-musik outs Detroit producer Luke Hess' newest work. Two tracks of slightly spacey yet not too dubby techno. Quite stomping, bubbling and fierceful audio with just the right amount of echoes, for that perfect deepness. There is a dubbydubdubdubddub remix on the other side, by Shed. Both sides = quality, so go pick up a copy!
