Description

030/313 Berlin/Detroit, the fundamental techno union. Now Carhartt WIP, whose roots can be traced to Detroit, Michigan, join forces with Tresor for a collaboration that celebrates the enduring spirit of two music metropolises. Referencing the early 90s compilations like Tresor II A Techno Alliance, they present a 12 mini compilation with exclusive material from both cities.

The compilation opens with I.D.L.E., a lost Model 500 track, of essential funk that touches the techno soul of The Motorcity, with trippy melodies and cosmic drilling traversing electrified Mojo freeways. Its followed by another true Detroiter: Ectomorphs Searching (Live At Globus), a first extract from their live set at Globus in 2021, which BMG and Erika played on borrowed equipment after Erikas case was lost on a flight. The A-Side stays in Detroit and finishes with Your Body, an exclusive track by AMX, also known as The AM, one of Detroits freshest funk techno sensations. She carries on the mentorship mindset by having learned from two of the greatest: D.I.E. and Scan 7. Your Body is a classic techno feel swinger, where subtle chords meet drum machine funk in the spirit of early Detroit techno.

DJ Stingray 313 opens the B-Side with a bang. Precisely hacked techno, full of dark funk and that special industrial jack, that the man in the mask has made his own. A total Dynamic Instability. Magic & furious. The thrill continues with Metal Goat, by JakoJako, one of Berlins brightest synth sensations. She provides an introspective grower that slowly evolves into a fast-paced techno grinder, laden with micro shifts and magic twists. The final tune comes from Erik Jabari, a newcomer from the 030 zone, emerging from the Hard Wax peers with haunting modular synth technoa feverish minimalistic trip of motorized kicks. DJ Pete performed as spiritual guidance on this one. Its floor proven. An overall cachet of 030313 – the small compilation with a huge techno heart.
