Scan 7 - Black Moon Rising [Underground Resistance]

Released via Underground Resistance in 1993, Scan-7’s Black Moon Rising, led by Trackmaster Lou and featuring The Elohim, remains an essential classic of Detroit techno. This electrified motor city masterpiece of soul and funk is now reissued for the first time in 31 years, retaining its ability to ignite dancefloors and transform minds. The title track, 'Black Moon Rising', strikes a perfect balance with its crisp Detroit techno sounds mellowed by melancholic synths and melodies, creating an uplifting effect amidst the more aggressive releases of its era. The lo-fi production adds to its unique charm, making it stand out. 'Pathway Through Time' and 'Introducing Scan-7' continue to push boundaries with their innovative sounds. 'System Work' stands out with its quirky, energetic melody, accompanied by off-kilter vocals that drive the track with relentless energy. Black Moon Rising embodies the essence of techno, with synth stabs, acidic leads, and a powerful bassline, solidifying it as a timeless release that remains influential in the techno scene.
