Review: 30 months have passed since Detroit producer Glenn Echo and keyboard wizard Daniel Meinecke wowed the world with the collaborative debut, 'Partly Cloudy'. Instead of releasing one hotly anticipated sequel, they've delivered the two-part 'Whatever Happened To Yesterday'. This is part one - curiously the second landed a few weeks back - and sees the pair successfully combine head-nodding hip-hop beats, smoky samples, colourful synth solos and nods to jazz-funk, P-funk, the blunted beats of DJ Cam, Afrobeat, dub and classic downtempo grooves. It's a perfectly pitched and exquisitely produced, with each successive listen revealing new musical details.

Review: Two and a half years since wowing the world with the collaborative debut, 'Partly Cloudy', Detroit producer Glenn Echo and keyboard wizard Daniel Meinecke have returned with a pair of positively perfect albums. This is the second and final instalment. Attractive, impeccably produced, and full to bursting with killer synth, electric piano and organ solos, the set mixes and matches sounds and styles at will, from dub, funk, jazz-funk and hip-hop, to trip-hop, blazed dancefloor psychedelia, Latin beats, exotica and Blaxploitation movie soundtracks. It's like the musical equivalent of a rushing hit of kaleidoscopic colour painted in vivid strokes by DJ Premier and the Mizzell brothers.

Review: Producer Blair French makes an impressive debut on MotorCity Wine Recordings with his "Ancestarians" EP. The release finds him adeptly bridging the worlds of soulful Detroit deep house and laidback Balearic grooves, carving out a distinct musical identity. The Physical Mix of the title track lays down a midtempo, jazzy groove primed for the dancefloor, infusing pan-African rhythms and a rich interplay of live instruments. In contrast, the Spiritual Mix ventures into more atmospheric, ambient realms, highlighting French's varied musical influences. Kicking off with a vibrant bounce, "Champagne Kiddie Pool" melds bright cavaquinho tones with an infectious dembow-inflected groove, conjuring up a summertime beach vibe. The EP's closing cut "Sandbox Fossils" ratchets up the energy level with its dynamic drum programming, shimmering keys and a standout bassline performance.

Review: Detroit mainstay Andres returns to MotorCity Wine Recordings with an anthemic 4 tracker entitled Sunday Kinda Love. For those that know, MotorCity Wine is the spot for Sunday parties, so we only thought it appropriate to have one of Detroit's most seminal producers highlight the vibe with this EP. First is Andres's dusty house sound that we've all come to love, complete with bouncing basslines, slick vocal chops, and drums to turn out any dance floor. Then Andres slows the tempo just a touch to highlight his chunky midtempo beatdown sounds, with "Rubin Samba" bringing a Latin flair and "Sunday Kinda Love" driving it all home.
