With bona fide Detroit legend Derrick May and new school hero Jimmy Edgar at the controls, this tribute to Detroit’s electronic music pedigree was never going to be anything less than excellent. Fusing well-known and overlooked classics (John Beltran’s astonishingly sweet “Sympatic Transmission”, Edgar’s own “Let Yourself Be”) with lesser-known contemporary picks (Magic Touch’s great “Niks Groove”, Kyle Hall and Kero’s mutant electro jam “Zug Island”), the two producers have succeeded in delivering an excellent overview of Motor City futurism past and present. It’s a little more weighted in favour of newer cuts, but that’s fine; the contributions from the likes of Lando Kal, Kai Alce and Kris Wadsworth are worth the admission price alone.
