HOTWAXX DEEP MIX II

Sunday evening... An unexpected visitor from Chicago named duKe comes to Kiosk Radio to enjoy the good weather, music and vibes... all of a sudden the owner of the establishment asked if he would like to play... that was accepted and exclusively as an impromptu demonstration of finds from an afternoon spent digging at Crevette Records, and after an all-nighter at Fuse’s Motion Room. 
Lock in for the ride!

After over a decade of music on pedigree labels like Spectral, Nation, M>O>S, and Creme Organization 2AMFM offer their debut LP on Bopside.
Based in Ann Arbor and raised in the Detroit area, D'Marc Cantu and Tadd Mullinix are charged by a lifetime of midwestern soundwaves and the reinforcement of contemporaneous area innovators like Carlos Souffront and Traxx. Again, they join forces but with this monumental excursion into the ether of their very own techno/house universe. Sounds herein are cast from debonair techno funk, rumbling house grooves, italo acid, galactic swing -- offering a diverse array that's perfect for the album experience.
