Detroit techno innovator Kevin Saunderson is set to release a remix collection of his work in June.

Often credited as the man that brought Detroit house and techno to the masses, Kevin Saunderson has certainly cemented his place in dance music history. Hits like "Big Fun," "Good Life," "Rock to the Beat" and "Good Love" have become era-defining tracks, be it in the club or on the radio, and they've recently had a spit and polish from the generation of producers that they arguably helped to create on Saunderson's History Elevate 12-inch series. The second disc of the forthcoming compilation, which goes under the same name, will compile the tracks from the vinyl singles and also include new remixes from Smith & Selway and Ben Sims ("Rock to the Beat"), Simian Mobile Disco ("Big Fun").

The other disc is dedicated to showing off Saunderson's own remixing skills, shedding some light on some of the producer's first remixes (Wee Papa Girl Rappers, Cameo), versions of his favourite tracks (Cerrone's "Supernature") and some of his more recent efforts (Hercules & Love Affair and Simian Mobile Disco). Speaking further about the compilation, it seems as if Saunderson is still on a mission to spread electronic music to a wider audience. "We believe this project ties the past to the future, creating a launch pad for techno to spread our message far beyond... into deep space."
