Sect At Juno Download

Review: DJ Bone is a ridiculously prolific producer and plays records across the world, but isn't the first name that rolls off the tongue when you play the 'name a Detroit DJ" game. DJ Bone probably likes it that way as he gets to put out his music on his preferred labels on his own terms. After being responsible for Sect's inaugural release DJ Bone returns to the imprint for their seventh with an ode to everyone's favourite day of the week Sunday. "Sunday Morning" and "Sunday Night" are variations on the same instrumental theme with the former placing the emphasis on the warm piano riffs and the latter adding layers of superlative percussion for the late night vibes.

Review: Kalamazoo native Fanon Flowers has been releasing music for over 15 years, yet he is one of the few dancefloor artists who manages to get the fusion of Detroit techno and Chicago house down to a tee. So what next for Flowers, now that his latest release has been snapped up by Sect? Oddly enough, part one of "Maschinenhaus" sounds European rather than American, a looped dubby chord playing out in the unflinchingly hypnotic Basic Channel manner. Indeed, the only real hint that it is a US production comes as the thunderous, precision claps kick in. The second part sees Flowers set out a more distinctly American feel: the same heavy claps are present, but this time so too are deeper, more textured chords and a discernible swing to the tracky, DJ-friendly groove. Coming from a place that's neither Detroit nor Chicago and audibly influenced this time by a German aesthetic, "Maschinenhaus" is a product of the best of bits from the troika of dance music's capital cities.
