Detroit Electro Ghetto Tech - DJ Godfather & K-1 (Databass)



Title: Detroit Electro Ghetto Tech

Artist: DJ Godfather & K-1

Label: Databass

Cat Number: DB-094

Genre: Electro


01: Detroit Electro Ghetto Tech (Version 1)

02: Detroit Electro Ghetto Tech (Version 1 Dub Mix)

03: Detroit Electro Ghetto Tech (Version 2)

04: Detroit Electro Ghetto Tech (Acapella)



It’s not difficult to know what’s going on here. DJ Godfather and Keith Tucker, two of Detroit’s most illustrious electro exports, join forces to produce something which, even though I love it, is preaching to the converted. The two tracks, versions 1 & 2, are different enough from each other to maintain interest; K-1’s filtered vocals being spoken in the former and more lyrical in the latter. The funk is also variable, with both versions rolling in a suitably sinister fashion, version 2 being more offbeat and liquid, version 1 more angular and throbbing. The ‘Version 1 Dub Mix’ is the same as ‘Version 1’ without the vocals, and the acapella should yield results as a ring tone, as well as a mixing tool. Everything is nice and in its correct place, but one has to wonder if there is any more room to manoeuver?
