Andy Vaz - I Am Not From Detroit [Solree Records]

Format: 12".
CAT: SRT190

Does Detroit techno necessarily have to come from Detroit to be considered Detroit techno? German producer Andy Vaz proves otherwise, having spent decades absorbing the energy of Detroit's magnetic field without ever pretending to belong to it. 'I Am Not From Detroit (Remixes)' revisits his original track from 2012 for a new series of reinterpretations on the Chicago label Soiree International, highlighting how far the idea of Motor City house and techno has traveled, setting aside any geographical exclusivity.

Detroit veteran Drivetrain delivers the centerpiece with a muscular, rhythm-focused reinterpretation of 'I Am Not From Detroit', while Chicago producer Javonntte continues with the dynamic and melodic 'Mars Mix', bringing a deeply soulful swing. Meanwhile, CloudMaster Weed adds a precise and straightforward reconstruction, designed for no-frills dancefloors.
