Steve Rachmad is a globally known as one of the most long-standing techno producers to emerge from Europe. Considered by many a godfather of Detroit techno, his work has been central to the spreading of that sound within Europe from his base in the Netherlands. Over the years, Steve has released on Cocoon, 100% Pure, Fragile, M-Plant, Tresor, Music Man and Delsin as well as remixing a wide range of acts from Derrick May to M.A.N.D.Y to Basement Jaxx
Hidden Alleys opens up this EP in understated, atmospheric style. Fusing elements drawn from right across the electronic spectrum, Rachmad has created a trademark piece that will ring true for fans of his previous works. Encompassing lush deep house melodies and jacking, abrasive keys and under-pinned by a bumping tech house groove this is intelligent, emotive, soulful music.
Street Lights is where Steve's Detroit influences shine through the brightest. Wonderfully hypnotic jangling keys develop and morph to form an uplifting melody that contrasts evocatively with the more melancholic industrial tones that make up the rest of the track. The result being an epic and dramatic tech house track that does just as much for the mind as it does for the feet.
