VARIOUS (KEVIN SAUNDERSON)
"KS01"

(TRUST THE DJ)
CD

[RELEASE: MAR 2002]

What a compilation! The man responsible for pretty much defining the techno genre delivers his first mix compilation in years and it rocks. Kevin Saunderson is known for being one of the founding godfathers of techno, but he was, in fact, born in Brooklyn in New York in 1964 and moved to Detroit at the tender age of nine.

Everyone thinks of Inner City when they think of Kevin Saunderson, but what most people don’t know is that Inner City was initially called Inter City and that Kevin has recorded under numerous guises such as Kreem, Tronik House, Es’Ray, Reese, and Santonio, The Reese Project and of course his latest guise, E-Dancer. However, his biggest achievement and his most commercially recognized project has been Inner City. With the E-Dancer project Kevin has the opportunity to create music which is more underground. His first E-Dancer album ‘Heavenly’ was released in 1998 to critical acclaim, and in the US it was named by Spin magazine as “one of the ten best albums you’ve never heard”. Right now apart from developing his own record label KMS, where the aim is to help and develop new talent and more importantly to continue to create and release great music, Kevin has also been out in Arizona, USA, where he has been coaching the baseball team that he manages (the Detroit Dodgers), but that’s another story...
