デトロイトの精神を受け継ぎ、ダブリンを拠点とする「Xistence Records」の第8弾は、コンピレーション・シリーズ『The Boundaries Of Imagination』の第2弾。A1、デトロイトのSean Deasonによる「Time Warp」は、1996年に自身のレーベルMatrixから発表された楽曲で、今回が待望の初ヴァイナル化。また、B1には1998年に制作されたDX-9の未発表音源も収録。さらに、レーベルボス"Arbill"そして伝説的プロデューサーOrlando VoornによるBasic Bastard名義の楽曲を含む、デトロイト・テクノの精神と進化を受け継ぐ4組のアーティストが集結した注目の一枚。
“Xistence Records reaches its eighth release with what may be its most important record so far, bringing together four artists whose music carries the spirit and evolution of Detroit techno. With selections reaching back three decades alongside new material, the EP connects different eras of tracks that exemplify the raw soul, machinery and futuristic thinking at the style's core. Sean Deason opens with 'Time Warp', originally appearing on his Matrix label in 1996 and finally receiving its first vinyl release. Thirty years later, its dramatic entrance and surging rhythm have aged perfectly. Energy is matched by genuine depth and soul, with its futuristic energy at the heart of it all. Label owner Arbilla follows with 'Electric Storm', harnessing the power of a great techno groove creates a blend of infections elements working in harmony. The second side reaches back to 1998 for a previously unreleased DX-9 production. A pounding Chicago warehouse beat meets the mechanical precision of Detroit, while a heavily over-arching acid line fuses the marriage these two deep-rooted cities. Legendary producer, Orlando Voorn closes proceedings under his Basic Bastard alias with 'Alone Together'. Perhaps the sickest groove of the EP. opens up a spacious atmosphere that gives the track an almost celestial quality. Inspired by Detroit techno’s evolution and its key figures, Xistence continues to show why it has become one of the rare trusted homes for proper techno.” (By Tim Humphrey from Electric Cafe)
