Melb - wotw- deep space techno, 1/10/04 @ HIFI *REVIEWS START PAGE 3*

I get to go nuts with my Bot - been far too long babe - but this'll make up for it - and then some!

Bring on the shenanegans!
 
Was just coming here to do this, workload has been phenomenal.
Thanks samm/insomnia, much appreciated!

Saunderson is now playing on 3 decks + Final Scratch for 3 hours. Before Richie Hawtin, before Jeff Mills, long before Beyer and the Swedish invasion... this is one of the three innovators of techno music, the originator, an insanely talented DJ and prolific producer who defies definition completely. Mark my words he's gonna rock you cats to the core!

Those with their finger on the pulse would recognise that this year's WOTW techno/electro event is co-presented by my company, Soma Corp - responsible for the mainly Detroit-focused series of events, BLOW YOUR OWN WAY. Those that attended our last gig with Aril Brikha LIVE on Derrick May's Transmat label would know that a committment to quality both in terms of music output, lineup, design and production is of the utmost importance. We're spending thousands on production for this show and completely re-rigging Hi Fi bar with a new soundsystem and stage-length projection screens and live visuals. Getting the things that matter right from the get-go.

If you haven't yet checked out the sounds of Phunk De Sonique then you are in for an absolute treat... these guys are some of the most insanely talented techno producers Melbourne has ever given birth to. Completely infectious mainfloor techno and the perfect introduction to Saunderson. On the verge of releasing their first EP across Europe, this shit is world class... jaws will drop to the floor when this goes live.

Here is a little biography that I leeched from another site
Ref: http://www.ren-com.com/pure/guestinf/reesbio.htm

Kevin "Master Reese" Saunderson (DJ & Producer)

'Computer Soul, Made With Love'.

Kevin Saunderson is a legend in his own right, known and respected around the world, as one of the three Artist/ Producers/DJ's from Detroit, who originated Techno/House music, which helped to reshape the future of Dance music as we know it.

Kevin was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1964, but moved at the age of nine to the place known as the 'Motor City', Detroit! He attended Belleville High School, and then moved onto Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, where he played Football. After 2 years Kevin quit playing football in order to pursue a musical direction, so he joined his high school pals, Derrick May & Juan Atkins, which unknown at the time would be the move that would help Kevin's career escalate.
He started as a DJ and developed new skills that led him into producing records, which he released on his own label KMS Records. The demand for his Artist/DJ/Producer derived records was overwhelming overseas as well as right here in the States, cities like Chicago and New York were open to Kevin's new brand of music. He introduced acts like 'Kreem', 'Reese', 'Inter-City', and 'Reese & Santonio. Kevin has many other aliases such as ;- 'Tronik House', 'Reese Project', 'Essaray', 'E-Dancer', & Kaos, which he uses to show his versatility in being able to create different modes of Dance music.

Kevin's biggest achievement so far and most commercially recognized project has been Inner City who have come full circle after eight years as one of the world's most important dance acts. Since emerging as one of the most influential prime movers in the house and techno revolution of 1988, Kevin Saunderson and Paris Grey have been to the top, struggled and bounced back to the top of the pile. Now in their ninth year together, the duo have proven they're one of dance's great survivors with a new dazzling renaissance.

And they're justifiably proud of a healthy career spanning early pioneering hits like "Big Fun" and "Good Life" through Hallelujah and "Pennies From Heaven" to recent brainstormers "Do Ya" and "Share My Life". and out now your love which has entered the top 40 in the uk at 28.

Signed to Brum's sublime Six6 label after leaving Virgin, Inner City have proved cynics wrong by staying fresh & innovative. They've also proven that old adage "you can't please all the people all Whereas fans of their anthemic style of uplifting dance classics have been delighted with recent singles like "Do Ya" and "Share My Life" they weren't keen to hear the group's weird experimental techno jam "Ahnongay".

On the other hand, those fans whose tastes are more in keeping with the original Detroit techno vibe were delighted with "Ahnongay"! Inner City, 1996 - style, are working on new material which highlights BOTH styles. Amazingly, the good life of being one of the world's top dance groups came to them by accident.

In l987 Kevin, then a 22- year-old Detroit college telecommunications student struggling to pass his exams and at the same time make a success of his fledgelling indie record label KMS, recorded a backing track in a makeshift studio stuck in the basement of his apartment. He needed a girl vocalist who could also supply lyrics and his friend Chicago house producer Terry "Housemaster" Baldwin suggested Windy City Chanteuse Paris Grey. She agreed, flew into Detroit, came up with lyrics & "Big Fun" was born. Incredibly the tape was then filed away & almost forgotten until months later UK dance afficiando Neil Rushton visited the Motor City to put together a compilation album, "Techno - The New Dance Sound Of Detroit" for Virgin. He freaked & made sure "Big Fun" was on the LP and soon afterwards it was released as a single and went on to become a worldwide smash. But despite its sudden success, Paris hung on to her job as a sales assistant in a Chicago store - only quiting when the follow-up, "Good Life" even outsold "Big Fun".

The third single "Ain't Nobody Better" retained Kevin's techno-logic microchip feel topped by Paris' soulful voice. Their debut album, "Paradise" cemented this prosperity and highlighted the Detroit techno blueprint of mesmerising rhythms that owed more to the white European synth groups of the 70's and early 80's, like Kraftwerk, Can & Depeche Mode than to the black dance music roots of the 60's and 70's that Chicago house and New Jersey garage related to.

Kevin's youthful urge to make music had been fuelled at Belleville High School in West of Detroit, where he befriended two like-minded students. Far from being despondent, they were voted by Mixmag readers as the best International act of the year and a "homecoming" deal with their manager Neil Rushton's SIX6 label was finalised.

By now Kevin's work with his other group THE REESE PROJECT was greeted with equal glee by journalists and clubbers alike. To close the Virgin chapter, the label released the "Testament '93" remix album to celebrate their time together. Featuring remixes of their best-known songs from the likes of CJ Mackintosh,Unity, Leftfield and Future Sound of London, it hit the stores at Easter '93 as the group toured the UK alongside the REESE PROJECT.

Back in the States they produced a "stop-gap" single - a stylish cover of Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's "Back Together Again". Paris sung a duet with new Network artist Ronnie Simon on the track. Another UK tour followed in August '93, including a headlining appearance on The Reading Festival's dance stage and the top slot at the European Dance Weekender in Paris the following month. Two pirate shows at the annual In The City music industry seminar in Manchester was backed up by two commercially-unavailable promos that stunned the underground. "Ahnongay" boasted no vocal input from Paris and featured Kevin mouthing the title over a spinetingling slab of surreal Detroit techno far removed from their popular anthemic style. And when a set of dub mixes of "Share My Life" was promoted to djs a month later, fans began wondering whether they'd dumped the format that made tunes like "Hallelujah" and "Pennies From Heaven" all-time classics.

They needn't have worried because the duo released two anthems during 1994 "Do Ya" early in the year and the scintillating "Share My Life" in the summer featuring some stunning mixes from Graeme Park and a brilliant ambient/techno remix from Aquarel.

To date, Inner City have had eight top 40 hits in the UK, as well as having had two top twenty albums with combined sales of more than 6 million. Inner City have also achieved many many awards for outstanding accomplish-ments, such as being voted the 'Best Dance Act' in the world by DMC in 1989 & 1992. Inner City have also received 4 Gold Singles & 1 Gold Album.4 number one billboard club hits &7 number one club hist in the uk.

In 1996 we shall see the release of Inner City's new album entitled "Hiatus".
