Cadenza and Polaris Festival curator Mirko Loko has mixed Detroit Love Vol. 4, the latest volume of Planet E’s compilation series celebrating the international legacy of the Motor City’s electronic music heritage.

DJing since the late ’90s, the veteran Swiss DJ first broke out when he was invited by Carl Craig to play at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2001, and he’s always held a deep love for the city’s sounds. His “relationship with music was inspired and forever marked by the talent and genius of Detroit and Midwest USA’s musical pioneers, and we all owe the city and its cultural legacy a huge debt,” Loko explains. “This mix is my small way of saying thank you to the city.”

The mix is arranged with tracks from a long list of talent that runs deep and wide, featuring a handful of XLR8R’s favorite artists, such as Fred P, Carl Craig, and Chaos in the CBD. The mix also includes six tracks produced by Loko himself, alongside a range of Detroit luminaries, including Derrick May and Stacey Pullen. 

Detroit Love Vol. 4 will be released on CD and digital formats on September 4, with a 2 x 12″ vinyl package arriving on September 18.
