Kelli Hand - Producer Series EP

Available Now


Kelli Hand will be known to many as K-Hand, the Detroit Techno producer, whose early 1990s releases on Berlin's famous Tresor label established her as an artist at the vanguard of music, carrying the Detroit sound forward. As the founder and driving force behind Acacia Records, Kelli has produced many superb releases, beginning with 'Think About It' in May 1990, under the name Etat Solide.

As a dj she is also in the first division. She is able to establish that special feeling of complete faith and belief among experienced dancers, in the dj to DO THE RIGHT THING. At the Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2002, Kelli delivered a dj set comprising all her own recordings. What stood out was the quality of all her cuts.

Great track after great track. The 'Moody Life' ep is the first release in Third Ear's Producer Series. A more appropriate artist to start this series, we cannot call to mind.

The Producer Series is an occasional series. The idea of the Producer Series is to release tracks by artists who are generally recognised by their peers, and by dancers and listeners, as being at the top of their profession. The artist is offered the chance to push the envelope a little, to maybe try out something which they've been thinking about, but haven't had an opportunity to work through to their satisfaction.

Tracklist

A1 - Walking Through The Park (121bpm. 8 minutes of groove building all the way)
