Third Ear Recordings are 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 80s, 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 comp (3ECD/LP-001). Six years on and Delano has started his own imprint, Mixmode Recordings, 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).

Cosmos Revisted is the ‘anthem’ on this ep. It is the anticipation that Delano builds into the track that gives it an anthemic quality. But it is carefully controlled so the release never quite comes.. or did it? 122 bpm

Release date: DL 21/
