Submerge Vol.1:Detroit Techno
Various Artists
Released:
Jan 2008
Label:
Submerge Recordings
This compilation isn't a crucial document in itself; released digitally in 2008, it's part label sampler, part greatest-hits package, featuring key cuts from Submerge, the distributor (run by "Mad" Mike Banks) behind Underground Resistance, KMS, Red Planet and other iconic Detroit labels. But DJ Rolando's 1999 cut "Jaguar" (credited to The Aztec Mystic) is as essential as second-wave Detroit techno gets, with one of the most recognizable melodies in electronic music, full stop. Galaxy 2 Galaxy's "Jupiter Jazz," is another canonical no-brainer, and after that, it's all sticky, sumptuous gravy.
