Release Notes:
An excellent collection of soulful house from the current Detroit underground --
one that's bubbling over with great work from lesser-known talents -- all of
whom come together to prove that these days, Detroit's one of the most happening
music scenes on the planet! There's a really unified feel to the record, despite
the presence of so many different artists -- and much of the work here is kind
of a homegrown version of the better-known cosmic grooves that have been
emanating from the city in the work of Amp Fiddler, Ayro, and others in recent
years. There's perhaps a bit more of a house-heavy vibe here than those
references might imply -- but the sound is cosmically soulful all the way
through, with some great vocals on the best tracks! Titles include "Everybody
(Amp Fiddler rmx)" by Courtney Jackson, "Melodies From The Jazz Republic" by
Mick Huckaby, "Cosmic Jungle" by Rick The Godson Wilhite, "Ecoutez" by Keith
Worthy & Malik Alston, "The Feeling Of Love (Amp Fiddler rmx)" by Anetria
Wright, "Hot N Funky" by Delano Smith, "Sugar (Amp Fiddler rmx)" by Patchworks,
"In The Dark" by Raybone Jones, Marcellus Malik Pittman, & Rick The Godson
Wilhite.
