Red Planet

My introduction to Detroit techno. The Martian is a handle for the well known Mad Mike Banks. But occasionally other famous Detroit musicians have recorded under the name.

The Red Planet is a mainstay in Detroit techno, shadowed only by Underground Resistance itself.
Music is taken to another level on the Red Planet label. It becomes a medium for a message, and enlightenment. It's as though every album is seemingly a classic, yet the producers take no real recognition for creating any of it. I would discourage anyone from buying these on discogs. Get it from submerge if you can.

This label truly summarises the detroit sound. Simple, yet at the same time complicated in it's sound architecture the releases are captivating.
My absolute favorites are "Sex in Zero Gravity" and "Sunchaser". Although the sound will definitely not excite your common club crowd. Instead, it will drive all true techno lovers to frenzy.
Keep it true.

Mike Banks has fiercely denied any involvement in the Red Planet label. The records are always credited to 'The Martian' and when complimented on a RP release Mike has always said 'thanks, ill tell the Martian'
