Brian Harden - Inner Instincts

...Representing that which we have come to associate with detroit but which was conceived in Chicago: a guiltless embrace of machine language. We know deep down that House music is contradictory and childish. It tends to romanticize acoustical language, the drum, and the spoken word. This naivety is what Techno sought to challenge. The profoundness of early Chicago house pioneer, Larry Heard, lies in his radical insight into language as a radical anomaly. In his music, the otherworldly is returned to what by habit has been naturalized. His house music was other-worldly from inception. This is Chicago.

Most of us don't realize how much of a debt techno owes to Chicago. Inner Instincts is such a reminder.

For mixing and transitioning from the banal to the extreme. In the vein of moodyman and theo parrish.
