Artist:	HESS, LUKE
Title:	Light In The Dark
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ECHO 005CD

This is the debut full-length release by Luke Hess from Detroit. After his successful 12" on Echocord Colour with Marko Fürstenberg, he is now back with a full-length album on Echocord. Luke Hess creates deep Detroit techno with a focus on soul and experimentation over prevalence and trends. Born in 1980 in metro-Detroit and subject to the city's mid-'90s warehouse parties, Luke has harnessed a deep appreciation for the underground movement and electronic dance music. His faith-based music production has given him the desire to reach out to others, in the hope that electronic music can be a bridge for restoration and not an avenue for destruction. After acclaimed releases on FXHE, and other successful releases on Beretta Grey, Echocord Colour, and Kontra-Musik, Luke's sound is beginning to take root. Light In The Dark further explores deep Detroit dance music through field recordings, live percussion sessions, analog experimentation, and dark, cavernous melodies.

Catalog #:	KM 007EP

"Kontra-Musik 007 gives you beautiful and deep techno from Omar-S protégé Luke Hess with an even deeper remake from Kontra-Musik long time favorite, Shed. He represents the new generation of Detroit producers. Subject to the city's mid-'90s warehouse parties, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement. This in combination with his background in mathematics and engineering has given him a scientific approach to the dancefloor, using frequencies, tones, and soundscapes to transform surroundings and mood. Luke's faith-based music production has landed him a seat with Beretta Music in Detroit, Modelisme in France and last but not least, with Omar-S' FXME label. The remix is the work of Shed, the man behind the labels Soloaction and Subsolo. His productions sound like synchronized movements of old farming machines, creating beautiful music. EPs like Stronghold, Shot Selection and The Fall contains timeless dancefloor music with that extra home listening quality. It is a great honor to finally have his work on the Kontra-Musik label."
