Various – Juan Atkins Presents The Future Sound EP

Juan Atkins’s iconic Metroplex does everyone a solid here by reissuing the long-lost Future Sound EP, a rare gem from 1993 that was originally released on UK’s Underground Level Recordings and Belgium’s Buzz. Never reissued until now, this bit of techno history features four standout tracks: the late, great Mike Huckaby’s lush ‘Urban Tropics,’ Reel By Reel aka Marty Bonds’s deep and spacey ‘Sundog’ and ‘Interpret’ and ‘Serene,’ a soulful collaboration with Detroit don Anthony «Shake» Shakir. Carefully restored and remastered for the occasion, these tracks shine brighter than ever with classic Detroit-rooted futurism, making for a crucial time capsule.
