DFX   Relax Your Body (another Version)

Dirty Supercar are an electronic disco duo based in the heart of Soho, London. Raised on a steady diet of '70s disco, they channel pure dancefloor DNA into every production-fusing retro flair with cutting-edge club energy. With over three decades of acclaimed music production between them, this new venture is a bold, genre-shifting side project from two world-renowned artists stepping into fresh sonic territory.
 
Having just signed to international tastemaker label and events brand The Disco Express, Dirty Supercar are primed for lift-off. Their self-funded early work on Chamois Music quickly caught attention, with more recent releases earning heavy industry support-including Kiss FM Ibiza's 'Tune of the Month' from Mark Knight on Toolroom. 
 
Their music is now backed by an impressive cast of tastemakers including Maceo Plex, Riva Starr, Dimitri from Paris, Hatiras, and Jon Pleased Wimmin, with cuts landing on Midnight Riot, Toolroom, and Against The Grain.
 
Recent radio support from BBC Radio, RTE FM, and Kiss FM has further ignited their rise.
 
Their sound lives in a sweet spot between jackin' house and disco, drawing inspiration from Giorgio Moroder, Todd Terry, Armand Van Helden, Junior Jack, Roulé Records, and the unmistakable glow of the '70s disco era they were raised on.
 
This is music made to move you-from the rear-view mirror of disco's golden age to the fast lane of tomorrow.

Platinum-selling recording artist, label boss, festival promoter, true innovator in the pantheon of popular music, cultural champion, cracking DJ: there’s a lot to be said about Kevin Saunderson.

His influence runs deep, through both adopted hometown of Detroit, and music culture as a whole: as one of the Belleville Three, the high school trio which also includes Juan Atkins and Derrick May, he irreparably changed the face of electronic music; with Inner City, he gave it some of its most memorable tunes. 

The genesis of today’s enormous techno scene can be retraced straight to Kevin, Derrick and Juan, as their formative experiments on rudimentary hardware sketched a blueprint for a genre that was yet to exist. By absorbing Kraftwerk, cutting-edge funk, local radio stalwart The Electrifying Mojo’s electicism, and all manner of new synthesiser and drum machine-led pop music, the Belleville Three broke new ground as musicians and DJs in the 80s. 

Saunderson’s comparatively late start as a producer – kicking off in ’87 under the moniker of Kreem, with E-Dancer and Reese two of the more well-known names to follow – inadvertently gifted him a headstart. With the eruption of house music a few hours down the I-94 in Chicago, Saunderson married Detroit’s raw sound to more tactile, pop-leaning sensibilities. Inner City was born, and global success followed.

Between “Big Fun”, “Good Life”, debut album Paradise and a number of follow-up singles, Inner City (Saunderson and vocalist Paris Grey) amassed 12 UK top 40 hits and over six million records sold worldwide during their peak. A dancefloor-dominating remix by Luciano in 2008, and a globetrotting reunion tour in 2012, underscores the longevity of Inner City’s classic sound. 

His nickname of ‘The Elevator’ is apt: for his role in transporting Detroit’s new sound to a wider audience; as anyone who has seen him perform live can attest, his high-energy, high-spirit and high-impact DJ sets; and for spending the past 35 years of his life progressing the culture he helped create. 

Operating in tandem to his golden run as a producer in the late 80s and early 90s, Saunderson’s own KMS record label – a remarkable 30 years strong in 2017 – has chronicled the early footsteps of R-Tyme, Blake Baxter, MK, Chez Damier, Derrick Carter, Bicep and even Saunderson’s son and regular DJ partner Dantiez more recently. 

A special 12” series in 2008 called History Elevate, released in tandem with fellow polymath Carl Craig’s Planet E label, brought contemporary names like Mathew Jonson, Simian Mobile Disco and Loco Dice into the fold, proving his nous for fostering relationships with each new wave to come through techno’s gates. 25th anniversary compilations and numerous reissues have followed suit. 

Saunderson has a behind-the-scenes role to play, too: he is intertwined with the history of Detroit’s flagship Movement (formerly Detroit Electronic Music Festival / Fuse-In). Having produced the event in the mid-2000s, the last handful of years have seen repeated invites from Movement to display his ORIGINS showcase at the festival, bringing acts like Delano Smith, Phuture and DJ Minx under his curatorial umbrella. 

And of course, with a stacked international touring schedule over the decades, playing in nearly every country and at nearly every festival or club worth mention, he has not stopped pushing the feeling of techno on and on. 

The Groove That Won’t Stop, indeed.
