Editorial Reviews
Outburn magazine, Oct 2001
An eclectic array of sounds from Detroit's rising electronic scene...
Album Description
Motor City still looks deceptively empty these days, its buildings and warehouses hollow and blackened. But put your ear down close to the blasted concrete and listen: electronic music is a vital part of Detroit, and an increasingly visible one. The Detroit Electronica Coalition, founded in 1997 by CEOXiME’s hEADaCHE, facilitates the production and distribution of local electronic music. Listeners dissatisfied with mass-marketed releases have proved to be an eager audience for the DEC. In the few years that have passed since the release of the first DEC compilation, D[electronic]T, the coalition has gained increasing momentum and recognition from other artists and organizations. This disc offers a brilliant and revealing look at Electronic Detroit as it exists today. These tracks represent the best of the best, and many of these DEC artists have been featured at the top venues and clubs in the city—Motor Lounge, Leland City Club, Blind Pig, Labyrinth, the Shelter, and many others—both live and spun by DJs. —DJUNA
