As many labels today, we are no exception to receive tons of demos on a weekly basis and God knows how hilarious & painful this exercise can sometimes be.
Nevertheless, some little miracles sometimes happen to remind us that indeed music can speak from itself and that people recognize each other through it. Sebastien San saw in our label his home of choice for his new collaborative work with Aaron Carl and it didn’t take me long to be touched by his message & the music.

I was already well aware of the work of the Northern French producer (in previous years on Gigolo and particularly on Planet E & Rush Hour) who always displayed a strong Detroit heritage in his own Techno productions.
The man has never hidden his fascination & love for the Motor City but this time, Sebastien seemed to take more a Deep House direction while maintaining his personal Detroit influenced soundscapes in the palette.
Another key fact of this work is the vocal collaboration of Aaron Carl who signed here sober & heartfelt lyrics delivered in a perfect way.

For those amongst you that would have never heard about the man, Mr Carl is one of the precious artists out of the Detroit scene of the last 15 years who started under the wings of Mike “UR” Banks on Soul City and left his trace on prestigious labels as Metroplex, Ovum, Millions Of Moments and more recently on Crosstown Rebels (with Dyed Soundorom) and his own Wallshaker imprint. The fruit of this collaboration is definitely not a peaktime track but more of the kind to be remembered in the building of the night or in the early hours of the morning. Sebastien signed himself 3 versions of the track for your maximum pleasure.

From Little White Earbuds:

“It’s safe to say Aaron-Carl is a rare breed of dance music producer. A Detroit native with a wall-shaking set of vocal pipes, a wide aesthetic range that spans soulful house, bumping techno and grimy ghettotech, and an incredibly accessible artistic personality, AC and his music are easy to fall in love with regardless of what you’re after — as long as it’s real. Not content with the opportunities afforded by his Soul City beginnings, Aaron-Carl launched his own imprint, Wallshaker Music, in 1998 and soon found himself atop the Billboard dance charts. Unfazed by the limelight’s brevity, AC persevered and spread his love for deeply personal dance music and his hometown around the world and founded the W.A.R.M.T.H. collective to keep those positive, Motor City-flavored vibes flowing. And if our interview below is any indication, there’s so much more to come. We’re also proud to present our 48th exclusive podcast from Aaron-Carl himself, a light but thoroughly gripping mix of unexpected house cuts and some of his own savored selections. This is also our first podcast offered at 320 kbps, something we look forward to continuing in the future.”

Rennie Foster follows the success of the anthemic ‘Devil’s Water’ with a new single and long awaited album in 2010. Rennie has been a well respected figure in the Canadian music and art community since he was just a teenager. After visiting Japan several times to play, Rennie fell in love with the techno oriented Tokyo club scene and has since relocated to Tokyo where he now lives. With singles on labels such as Subject-Detroit, Monoid, Soiree, F Com etc. and his own imprints Futago Traxx and Dirty Works, his sound fuses the refined “minimal” elements of modern club sounds with the vibe of filthy Chicago House, Detroit Techno and early rave records.

He joins Aaron Carl, one of Detroit’s most enduring and soulful artists. Aaron, as singer and producer, refused to be boxed into one genre. His signature sound crosses genres; from soulful, gospel-infused House, to the dirtiest ghettotech anthems. His productions have graced various labels throughout the world, including Subject Detroit, Metroplex, Universal France and his own imprint, Wallshaker Music.

The Spanish production duo of Coyu (aka Iván Ramos) and Edu Imbernón unleash an unbelievable fresh groovy funky house remix with Huge bass, heavy stabs, percussive beats that’s literally overflowing with energy and unstoppable dancefloor appeal. This is a limited vinyl only release, absolutely essential!
