The beginnings of techno plus plently of electro thrown in there for good measure. Must be Detroit week here at Widsbury towers. This is an amazing compilation.Was fortunate to see the 'godfather' at a free party at Carhartt Store in Manchester last year (he played the night meandyou later that night at Soup Kitchen but my wallet said no!).

Interesting article appeared in the Guardian earlier this year as the label celebrated it's 25th anniversary. Check it out
here. There was also an excellent feature length documentary released a couple of years ago entitled 'Hi Tech Soul' with contributions from Atkins, Derrick, May, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Craig et al. Check it on google video
here. Get on the music below.
