One of the best tune made in history, thank you again for collecting our wonderful history of music. I know all the songs and amazing pick <3

Acid Fog the only one I remeber..., nice collection of DT Johan

this tune reminds me of Tectroit 2013.. an open air music festival that ran for a few years inside a public park in downtown Detroit. it was a special time back then, and did not last for very long.. but Detroit's spirit always remains.

Your ''dedicated to the old skool'' mixes are pure fire!!! Keep up the good work! Another great label.....in the mix.

I started out somewhere 1990 buying stuff form UR, PLUS-8, Transmat and other Detroit stuff. Great memories. I was about 19 years young back then. Thanks for uploading this great mix!

From discogs: 

Underground Resistance is probably the most militantly political outcropping of second-wave Detroit techno. Combining a grubby, four-track aesthetic, an almost strictly DIY business philosophy, and an oppositional, militaristic ethos similar to Public Enemy without the drama (or the familiarity; the members refuse to be photographed without bandanas obscuring their identities), UR have redirected their portion of the Detroit techno legacy to social activist ends, trading mainstream popularity and financial success for independence and self-determination. Begun in the early '90s by Detroit second-wave trinity Mike Banks, Robert Hood & Jeff Mills, UR adapted the flavor and kick of early Detroit techno to the complex social, political, and economic circumstances in the wake of Reagan-era accelerated inner-city decline, and was formed as an outlet for uncompromising music geared toward awareness and change.

The early UR catalog is defined by a typically Detroit combination of Motown and Chicago soul, and ruthless, at times caustic lo-fi techno, acid, and electro (Mills' background is in, among other things, Chicago industrial and EBM-style electro-techno, with Banks and Hood both coming from a solid house and techno base). Much of the label's early output was the product of various permutations of Banks, Mills, and Hood, both solo and in combination, before Mills and Hood left UR in 1992 to pursue (and achieve) international success. Banks continued to operate UR in the wake of the split, releasing EPs such as "Return of Acid Rain," "Message to the Majors," and "Galaxy to Galaxy" under the UR banner, as well as 12-inches by increasingly renowned artists such as Drexciya, Suburban Knight and Scan 7. The first actual full-length credited to Underground Resistance was 1998's Interstellar Fugitives. When the UR and Submerge Recordings Headquarters moved from 2030 Grand River to 3000 E Grand Blvd., the UR 'family' transformed again by assigning new members such as DJ 3000, S², Aquanauts, Buzz Goree and most notably the live band Los Hermanos.

Tresor 313 at Return to the Source, Tangent, Detroit on 24th May 2025

You know, lately these tapez have been inspiring me in a very spiritual way. As I digitize them these songz from the past take me 2 that time & moment again. Not 2 mention all the DJ'z I became very tight with when I had them as live guest on our then radio show on 91.5 FM WPRK, Winter Park, Orlando. Of course big propz 2 my radio partner DJ Cano, We had a blast doing these showz. Big up'z 2 all the DJ'z that came through & all the other DJ'z that sent tapez of their mixes & Record Labels around the Globe who helped me make these thingz happen. It was a lot harder back then without the internet, but so much more gratifying.
Okay, now 2 the man on 2day'z mixtape. Derrick May, 1 of Detroit Techno innovators & my fave out of the Motor-City. I remember airing this mix on our show & the phones lighting up with listeners going ballistic!!! Derrick takes us there Detroit styleee!!!
4 all tha real Techno Headz, this 1'z 4 u!!

GSRD002 Retrolog, Tim B, Renva, Robbiee - Spirit Fizz Volume 2

Renva & Robbiee open a new chapter, welcoming Retrolog and Tim B for their debut on the label. Together, they deliver a 4-track EP honed to perfection.

The electro is tense and precise. Funk lurks beneath, almost disco, in bursts of bass and shimmering synths. An EP designed for the night. Elegant, precise, irresistible.

Part 2 of a magical night DJing b2b with my good friend Terry Donovan. ❤️

Terry has been a resident at Birmingham's House of God nights since the beginning alongside me, Neil 'Sir Real' Spragg and Paul 'Damage' Bailey.

Unfortunately there's no tracklist for this set, it was lost in the mists of time. I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out, or maybe enjoy you can the mystery....

Underground Resistance is probably the most important Detroit record label since Motown: their sound and attitude emerged in the early '90s as the most uncompromising one from the Motorcity, it was pivotal in shaping US and European Techno, started the resurgence of 90's Electro, but most of all indelebly marked the consciousness of thousands of people around the world who share their messages of resistance and hope.
And last but not least, they did so many amazing records!

So, 30 years has passed since UR-001 came out in 1990.
Since UR and 'Mad' Mike Banks were so influential for me, not just sonically but mostly on the attitude side of things, I decided to go thru all my 12"s and make a retrospective tribute mix to celebrate this anniversary.

At first I wanted to pick 30 tracks only and keep it compact but so many great ones were left out.. so I just started and at the end I used 60+ tracks! Almost all the classics are there, plus a fair share of lesser known tunes which really shine as well in my opinion. All from the UR catalogue only. No Z-tracks unfortunately :)

I really hope to have done justice to their sound, and I hope as well that the listeners will enjoy the ride, have the chance to discover some amazing music, and maybe feel the energy and pride and love that Mike Banks and the UR crew put into the music and pressed into the grooves.

In memory of James Stinson, Ron Murphy, Aaron-Carl Ragland
