Third Ear Recordings are very pleased to release this fine ep by one of the original practitioners of the Detroit dj style, who is now emerging as an accomplished producer. Having been tutored as a teenager in the art of the dj by Detroit’s celebrated Ken Collier in the early 1980s, Delano was coaxed out of a fourteen-year retirement in 2001 by Mike Clark and Norm Talley, who themselves had been inspired by Delano’s djing, to release his first track (Metropolis) on Third Ear’s Detroit Beatdown Volume One compilation (3ECD/LP-001). Six years on and Delano has started his own imprint, Mixmode Recordings, also released on Still Music and again on Third Ear, with the collaboration with Derwin Hall titled Theme on Detroit Beatdown Vol2 ep 1 (3EEP-076). Synergy is the B1 cut. It has a more intimate vibe but again holds the listener and dancer with a compelling groove that seems to have minimal momentum but never misses a beat. 120bpm Release date: DL 21/11. Vinyl 8/12/ tags: detroit beatdown, minimal house, third ear stats
