KMS and Fabric Recordings will honor legendary Detroit techno forefather Kevin Saunderson by releasing a retrospective two-CD compilation of gems from his 20 years in the biz. Brooklyn-born Saunderson moved to Detroit as a kid and rapidly became one of the most sought-after DJs and producers at home and across seas, known for his steady stream of dancefloor tunes, reputable record label, and allegiance with fellow Detroit techno DJs Juan Atkins and Derrick May.
History Elevate will include classic Saunderson remixes of tracks by Cerrone, Pet Shop Boys, Simian Mobile Disco, and his first-ever for Wee Papa Girl Rappers, from way back in ’88, all of which is on the first disc.
Disc two will feature remixes of Saunderson’s work by other well-known artists, such as Hercules and Love Affair, The Presets, Simian Mobile Disco, Inner City, Carl Craig, Mike Shannon, Luciano, and Claude Von Stroke, among others. Saunderson said in a recent press release that he hopes the project will “tie the past to the future, creating a launch pad for techno to spread [the] message far beyond.”
History Elevate is out June 9.
Catch Saunderson spinning with friends this May at Detroit’s annual Movement Festival.
