"Detroit has long been known for its mechanical innovation. From the assembly line to the super high output motor, Detroit and its people have always strived for something better. Through no fault of its own, Detroit has seen strife, revolution, and desolation. This sense of charge and vacancy provided the ideal birthplace for Electric Soul. Electric Soul exists as a realm without boundaries. It fits no categories. It's the experimentation of techno, the soul of house and the funk of electro. It's the sound of Detroit in 2003." Artists: Ron Cook, Los Hermanos, Electric Soul, Mr. De, DJ 3000, Fix, The Martian, M.I.A Feat Tek Brothers, Dr. Jiffy, Afrogermanic, B. Calloway, Dex, M.I.A, Orlando Voorn.

"Rebirth, Reinvention, and Adaptation are all words associated with survival. Even in the most adverse situations one can rise above by being in tune with, and adapting to, their surroundings. Through such adaptation comes inspiration. Inspiration is essential in every element of life, without inspiration there is little to celebrate. Through the cultural fabric of Detroit, one doesn't have to look far to be inspired. Regardless of your medium of expression, the city, its people, and its music, provide an endless well of influence and inspiration. With the last installation of the Somewhere in Detroit Mix series, DJ 3000 introduced us to the concept of Electronic Soul. A creation from the past modernized through the DJ, the producer, and the audience. Operating under the shelter of Submerge Recordings, DJ 3000 takes us, once again, on a journey through the unique sonic fabric created and inspired by his surroundings. From the farthest reaches of Gratiot Ave, to the deepest corners of 7 Mile, comes the sound of the future. Bringing with it the images, the sounds, and the culture it has absorbed along its journey into the present." Artists: DJ 3000, Gary Martin, Shawn Rudiman, Basic Bastard, Fabrice Lig, Los Hermanos, DJ Dex & Ray 7, The Martian, Mr De, Electric Soul, Bounce, Unknown Soldier, Shawn Rudiman, S2, Marco Bernardi, Renaissance, R7.

Artist:	VOORN, ORLANDO
Title:	Ignitor
Label:	SUBMERGE
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	SUB 3026CD

"Orlando Voorn has proven through time to be one of the most prolific electronic music producers of all time. Orlando has produced electronic music over the years over at least 30 different monikers on too many record labels to count, but despite the great volume of work, it has always remained at a quality level that few can attain while remaining surprising and quirky, Every track has its own personality. Orlando is not the type of artist that will think up one good approach to making a record and then crank out 20 more in that style till everybody is sick of it. He chooses to innovate and experiment with new sounds and beats every time he steps in the studio. When Orlando Voorn came to Submerge Recordings everybody was excited to see what he did next. On his own label, Ignitor, Orlando came forth with a flood of great and innovative tracks. This compilation represents what we think are some of the premier musical moments in the Ignitor catalog as well as some tracks made for Electrofunk Records. This compilation we believe is one of the finest and most compelling albums we have ever released at Submerge Recordings. If you don't know who Orlando Voorn is by now you will definitely remember him after taking a listen to this."

Artist:	DEPORRES & THEO PARRISH, DUMINIE
Title:	Et Tu Brute
Label:	SUBMERGE
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	SUB 3027CD

"The latest release from Submerge Recordings is certainly the most energetic and penetrating revelation to date from Duminie DePorres and house legend Theo Parrish. On this, their debut offering for Submerge, lead-off track 'The One' (produced by Mr. De) leaps off the chart with both guns blazing. Though conscious and introspective, 'Et Tu Brute' manages to avoid being preachy and cliché. Duminie's stellar guitar work weaves mystic, elastic, electrical tapestries over compelling and nourishing soundscapes. This collection will make you dance, shake, think, and forget your worries. An excellent backdrop for any mission you choose to undertake, Et Tu Brute is destined to be an instant classic. This collection features guest appearances by Umar Bin Hassan Pillar of the Last Poets, Mr. De, original Funkadelic member Bernie Worrell on the epic 'Free The Land,' John Douglas, and Detroit's own Filmore Magnetic."

Artist:	LOS HERMANOS
Title:	Traditions & Concepts EP
Label:	SUBMERGE
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.50
Catalog #:	SUBWAX 003EP

"The Los Hermanos collective have a high profile because of the ridiculously high level of quality of their material. Originally a collaboration between Gerald Mitchell and DJ Rolando, their early releases followed in the steps of the mighty 'Jaguar' in mixing beautiful driving melodic techno with emotional strings. Since Rolando's departure, Santiago Salazar and DJ Dex have joined with Gerald Mitchell and moved in a slightly different direction without sacrificing any of the sound's individuality or quality. Standing somewhere between techno and house and taking influence from the true sound of Latin music without sounding derivative, Los Hermanos releases remind us that the best Detroit techno defines what is truly 'deep'. 'Central Nervous Systems' celebrates conscious and unconscious behaviors, which seek to embrace euphoria and it's release in your body and mind. 'Midnight in Madrid,' transports listeners to the dance floor with its straightforward soulful expression. 'Remember Detroit' is an anthem of everyday life in the city, reaching deep to reveal the connection of urban environment and the love from its embattled courageous citizens. The ingredients of 'Dark Samba No. 7', has the listener experience passionate pulsating beats on an ancient level. This EP is drawn from the full length album, Traditions and Concepts." The manufacturer of this released responded to some questions about the sound of this release: "Re: concerns on the part of certain customers about the sound on SUBWAX003, track B1 'Remember Detroit'. We checked the wax against the digital file and our analysis of the sound is that the vinyl mastering brought out some upper harmonic content in the Hammond / Leslie sound. If you understand how Leslie speakers, tape flanging, and chorus doubling works, as well as the vagaries of analogue mastering, you could see how this could happen. While the effect is certainly noticeable, our opinion is this is not a defective product, it's just the way it sounds."
