Dig Deep House Mix #7




Dig Deep House Mix #7. A freestyle mash up of some of the more interesting house and techno records I have heard over the last year, with a couple of classics thrown in for good measure.

I put this together for a radio show featuring Voc Walters from Chicago. Expect acid house, disco, African and Balearic vibes, drum heavy tracks, bassbin wobblers and Detroit deepness, all rooted in funk, soul and latin music. Recorded in August 2013.

In association with Chicago House Radio and Dig Deep Records.

High Tech Soul: The Creation of Techno Music


High Tech Soul: The Creation of Techno Music (2006)


"HIGH TECH SOUL is the first documentary to tackle the deep roots of techno music alongside the cultural history of Detroit, its birthplace. From the race riots of 1967 to the underground party scene of the late 1980s, Detroit's economic downturn didn't stop the invention of a new kind of music that brought international attention to its producers and their hometown. Featuring in-depth interviews with many of the world's best exponents of the artform, High Tech Soul focuses on the creators of the genre -- Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson -- and looks at the relationships and personal struggles behind the music. Artists like Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, Eddie Fowlkes and a host of others explain why techno, with its abrasive tones and resonating basslines, could not have come from anywhere but Detroit."
