2012 marks a quarter century since Kevin Saunderson launched his seminal KMS imprint back in 1987. To celebrate the influence and accomplishments of the storied label, KMS will be releasing an enormous compilation that spans the entire lifetime of the imprint, and essentially, the genre of techno itself. The 54-track collection includes classic hits and influential jams from the likes of MK, Inner City, Chez Damier, and, of course, Kevin Saunderson himself. A 21-track vinyl version will also be available, and will contain several songs that do not appear on the CD/digital version. The release date for the collection is June 25, and the artwork and tracklisting for both versions can be found below.
