Detroit legend DJ T-1000 lands on Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects, backed with a remix from Hertz Collision.

DJ T-1000, aka Alan Oldham, is a multi-talented artist, label owner and graphic illustrator who has taken his unique techno visions to the world's best clubs and labels since the ‘80s. He has helped to showcase theMotor City sound worldwide, with acclaimed releases on vital electronic imprints such as BPitch Control,Tresor, and his own labels Pure Sonik Records, Generator Records, and Xfive.

He kicks off his EP for Radio Slave’s imprint with 'Klendathu,' a well-swung, high-pressure techno track with supple drums and fizzing synth stabs. It's stripped back and perfectly designed to hypnotise. Fresh from killer releases on Truncate and CLR, Hertz Collision flips 'Klendathu' into a kinetic and energetic cut with darker bass, fierce vocals, and a tangible sense of tension.

'Functionality' brings trippy synth loops and belting drums together, custom-built for strobe-lit dance floors. The superb 'Hood Tactics' follows with deep kicks, hard hits, and pulsing leads. The atmospheric and reflective 'We Shared A Moment' is a slower affair with emotive synths, airy vocals, and smooth rolls to round out another standout release from both DJ T-1000 and Rekids Special Projects.

Memories

Waajeed’s 2022 long player, Memoirs of Hi-Tech Jazz, was an aural love letter to his hometown of Detroit; an amalgam of the city’s history, coalescing the personal, political and, of course, musical past.

From the Motown soul assembly line to J Dilla’s musically dense Hip-Hop to The Stooges’ proto-Punk to the birth of Techno, the music of the Motor City has spread across the globe inspiring countless artists who in turn went on to create their own forms and genres.

Emulating this movement and transmutation, the Memoirs of Hi-Tech Jazz remixes 12” sees artists from three continents repurpose elements from across the LP, transforming them into productions stamped with their own trademark styles whilst retaining the spirit of each original:the UK’s Mark Broom loops sections of Right Now while speeding up the BPM for a classic UK-style techno remix; Ghana-born Yazzus takes on The Ballad of Robert O’Bryant adding a surprising number of twists and turns for a five-and-a-half-minute piece; Australians Jensen Interceptor and Assembler Code close the 12” out with their take on the album’s title and opening track neatly closing the loop, bringing us full circle to the start of the LP.

The release of Memoirs…remixes add another facet to the immensely heartfelt tribute to Detroit from one of its most talented citizens and a true milestone in the Tresor catalogue.
