V/A - Detroit Beatdown Remixes

Available Now


Following 3EEP-038 Detroit Beatdown Remixes 1:2, better known as Theo Parrish Falling Up (Carl Craig remix), comes the next vinyl release in the first chapter of Detroit Beatdown.

Released as a limited 10, this ep demonstrates the Housier, Jazzier side to Third Ears Detroit Beatdown project. Even so, these are kicking tracks, typical of all dance floor orientated music that comes out of Detroit, with deep grooving bass lines and great drum programming.

Side A is Amp Fiddler, using his Amp Dog Knight moniker, and Jovante working together. Amp Fiddler needs no introduction. His distinctive voice and keys keep the vibe set by Malik Alston with his own piano flourishes. Amps wah-wah electric piano is a dope sound, and works brilliantly on this track. Jovante is a talented newcomer on the Detroit scene. Jovante adds live drum programming, live timbales, and flute. Together, Amp and Jovante give the track a grooving, carnival feel. Malik Alston contributes additional production.

Side B is Malik Pittman from 3 Chairs giving Darren Abrams Loose Piano a workover. The original track on Detroit Beatdown Volume One (3ECD/LP-001), was many peoples favourite. Malik Pittman is one of the new school of Detroit producers, along with Theo Parrish and Kenny Dixon (Moodymann), who are laying down a distinctive style of 21st century electronic soul music. The track displays a wonderful loose piano riff, with pumping bass, and glitchy percussion. The track is perfect for building the vibe and getting those first hands in the air on the dancefloor.
