Kevin Saunderson At Juno Download

Review: Detroit legend of Inner City/E-Dancer fame, Kevin Saunderson, pops up here in remixed form on Mark Knight's Ibiza-smashing label Toolroom. Bulgarian producer Jay Lumen must have been doing back flips when he got the chance to remix such and icon and you can hear it in his "Sacred Sounds" rework. Throbbing and primal, the mix is a slow proggy builder complete with lots of swooshy hiss and tribal percussion.

Review: Helping KMS to mark a quarter century in business is Rick Perez, who won an online remix competition, where Saunderson himself was the judge. Perez' version of "Roll On" is a fitting tribute to the KMS label, with a menacing bass building through the drummy track, eventually dominating the arrangement and relegating the sensuous chords and forceful drums to the background. Meanwhile, Kweku Saunderson himself remixes "Innuendo". It seems like the Saundersons can never resist the allure of a throbbing low end and once again it's the menacing sub bass that dominates, snaking through the dubby arrangement like an eel slipping through a swamp
