Tribute to Detroit
The senses tell us that Detroit is changing, and that change is in the air – sweet vibrations of sound. We have a fair number of new producers coming out of Detroit, and even our very own Melt/POS017 (coming soon) was pressed in Detroit at Archer Records.
Today, I want to share with you some new music from Phil Agosta. We’ve got a classic love affair with Inner City melded with modern production. I heard this track at DEMF and it had the floor moving. Even Kevin Saunderson himself is giving it high praise. You just can’t beat that. Tribute to Detroit is out July 20th on KGBeats.

I actually designed Phil’s cover. It wasn’t meant to be racist and I don’t think it’s awkward. The photograph is of Detroit and the absence of a black person from the photograph doesn’t mean anything, except that a black person was not in the frame when that photograph was chosen. It’s a photograph of a crowd of young people cheering for Detroit. I love black people, so does Phil.

Race???an issue. Obviouly this person doesn/t know me. I started out with Jeff Mills, then worked with, Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins then Stacey pullen, Claude Young and Stacey Haotwax Hale. race has NEVER been an issue. Unlike honnppooo trying to make a ppoint…I have never looked at color but only accept a person on their personality and character. I hope you did not bring this up to start controversy, because all of the aobe named say the cover before it was released AND…. they ALL loved and raved about it considering THEY know and appreciate detroits rich and culturally rich past! SO let’s put this away before once again the above mentioned fellow DJ’s and personal friends of mine go off on a tangent due to the perposterous notion that I would ever act nor display an offensive action towards ANY race. we are all people and that is that!!!
