This October, Get Physical Music will inaugurate their Detroit Gets Physical series, curated by DJ One Five. Before then, the label look to release a series of taster EPs, with the first one coming from Laurent Chanal.
Chanal’s roots date back to lighting up clubs with tech house sounds in the mid-nineties. Since then he has gone on to international acclaim as both Petit Ange and under his own name with music on labels such Resopal and more. His colourful sounds owe a lot to Detroit and he has had support for them from greats like Sasha and Laurent Garnier.
The superbly compelling ‘Carbon’ is a deep, rolling track where house meets techno. The main chord riff loops hypnotically as the smooth drums suck you in. Lithe, textured synths join the mix later on to lift the energy and ensure the club goes wild.
Remixing is UK mainstay Vince Watson, who has been a pivotal artist since the 90s. His connection with Detroit runs deep having released on vital Motor City labels like Planet E and 430 West. He serves up two separate remixes, Part 1+2, as well as combining both into a third version. Each one brings more intensity as the pressure builds through sleek synths and rumbling drums. A raw sense of futuristic machine soul and grainy atmosphere defines each track and truly conveys that authentic Detroit sound.
The fantastic Carbon EP joins the dots between European and Mid-Western sounds in stylish new ways.
