I always try to avoid hyping mixes from other blogs/sites, unless requested to do so, but sometimes I gotta bend the rules a bit. I heard this podcast for XLR8R, and just had to share it. Hard techno done proper is all I can say. Enjoy.

Normally here at The Detroit Techno House we dedicate most of our times to events/musicians that are relevant to the Detroit techno scene and history. However, every now and again we love to give a shout-out to our techno brethren across the pond, especially when it’s a heavy hitter like fabric London. In case you’re a little behind, Fabric has been one of London’s most seminal electronic music venues since opening in 1999. Fabric Records has released a series of monthly mixes since that time by some of the worlds best and brightest of house and techno. Jerome Sydenham doesn’t break the history of bringing the heat with this newest installment to the mix series. It’s a fantastic little mix of house and techno that knows how to get deep without being to sleepy and minimal, and when to bang it loud. If you’re not familiar, check out Jerome Sydenham and his label Ibadan Records, an awesome label with a roster of amazing artists. Oh, and if you’re in London for any reason this coming Saturday, make sure to check out Jerome Sydenham at fabric (the flyer is above).
It’s not often you find classic Chicago house records in the bins at a Salvation Army. Usually all you find is piles of Christmas records, Polka’s Greatest Hits, and Sing Along with Mitch, but I always look anyway, because every now and again, the crate digging spirits throw you a curve ball, and you find something quality like this record by Raze I managed to get for $0.50. This is what 1980s Chicago house music was all about! The jackin’ drums, funky piano riffs, and warm, thick bass resonate through all the tracks of this EP. “Let The Music Move 
U” is an old school house workout with lots of jazzy pianos, cowbell and sultry female vocals to guide you along the dance floor. On the B side “Jack The Groove”(Jungle Remix) pairs a warm, deep bassline with strange synth and sound effects and a liberal amount of Latin percussion thrown in. A definite house burner. Also on the B side is “Get Down” which sports an awesome 303ish bassline bubbling up all over the track and crazy pitched out vocal samples commanding you to get down! For any of you vinyl junkies, I’ve seen this record in a few used bins, grab it up, and get a fantastic slice of House music from 1987.
