「One of Detroit's heavy hitters brings the Motor City spirit」
As a loyal member of legendary projects like Underground Resistance, Galaxy 2 Galaxy, Timeline, Los Hermanos and most recently Depth Charge, his techno/electro collaboration with "Mad" Mike Banks, Mark Flash has played a pivotal role in the development of Detroit techno and its spirit. Born to a musician for Motown bands, Flash grew equipped with the skill set of keyboard and percussion in a musically rich environment. There are few dance tracks quite like his: he combines emotive melodies and live dynamics with pumping drum sequences. He makes his way to Contact with his drum machine and percussion to let his musicality in full effect.
Stepping up for the occasion is Hiroshi Watanabe, a Japanese producer that came into the fold of another iconic Detroit label Transmat with last year's Multiverse EP. They are joined by Kaoru Inoue, a band man and a DJ whose organic and tribal sets create distinctive flows. Also, DJ Shufflemaster, who helped lay the foundation of early Japanese techno, makes a surprising appearance. With a splendid array of veterans on board, the night only heightens expectations.
