With the deluge of techno artists from all over the world making headlines, it's easy (although very wrong) to forget that techno was created in Detroit, Michigan by African-American visionaries like Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins and Derrick May. From tha Kenny Larkin began his music career in 1990 after serving two years in the U.S. Air Force, where he was repairing computers. Hanging out at local Detroit clubs like The Music Institute and The Shelter, he soon hooked up with Richie Hawtin and John Acquavi records under a variety of monikers, including Dark Comedy, Pod and Yennek. His first full-length album Azimuth, released in 1994, established Kenny as one of the major forces in contemporary dance music. Last year's follow-up Metaphor once aga in proved convincingly that, unlike anybody else, Larkin kicks up some real soul in his All in all, Metaphor is a high class Detroit package marked by variety and rhythmic enchantment; it's melodic, emotive and, like so much great U.S. techno, almost j azz-like in places. "This is electronic soul music, full of human feeling and warmth", wrot At times very minimal and ambient, other times well informed by house, Kenny's warm dance beats hit in just the right places at just the right time. "A lot of s tyles of music come out in my moods: jazz, house, techno… it depends on how I'm feeling", Ken January 1996

John Beltran

John Beltran, born 4 march 1969, is one of those producers that always seems to elude being pinned to any one category. His early work on Carl Craig's seminal Retroactive imprint sculpted a Detroit classic with hints of Derrick May, world music, and Jazz vibrations. He followed up in 1996 on Peacefrog with arguably one of the most sought after techno classics "Ten Days of Blue," which is still John's most successfully licensed music with songs like "Collage of Dreams" being used in the Miramax film Human Traffic and the HBO hit Six Feet Under. His next project was entitled "The Cry" under the Placid Angles guise which MixMaster Morris charted as one of his favourite albums ever.

Delano Smith

Смит далеко не новичок на сцене. Родившись в Чикаго и выросший в Детройте, он начал свою карьеру в конце 70-х ди-джеев диско и фанк с самим Ken Collier'ом, который взял его под свое крыло, как одного из своих "студентов", вместе с Jeff Mills'ом, Eddie Fowlkes'ом, Mike Grant'ом. Смит делает перерыв на протяжении большей части 90-х годов, а затем возвращение в начале '00х, выпустив свой первый 12-дюймовик в 2003 году. С этого времени он постоянно радует нас своим душевным дип хаусом и техно.
