Thank you for your support, it makes this podcast possible. --- We've had a few legends of dance music on the show, but this week we welcome our first member of the Belleville Three . Along with Juan Atkins and Derrick May , Kevin Saunderson crested the first wave of Detroit Techno and birthed a global movement that persists to this day. Under his own name as well as a plethora of alias and groups including Inner City and E Dancer, Kevin made some of the most important tracks of any era of dance music. So of course this is an exciting episode. We talk about the forthcoming E Dancer record, working with his son who is now a member of that group as well as Inner City , as well as getting deep into the early era as well as his breakout success with Inner City. This is a great episode, you're going to love it. If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!
