#The Detroit Escalator Company’s Soundtrack [313] gets reissued

At the time of its creation, Soundtrack [313] was a singularity, a wormhole that connected the pounding rhythms of Neil Ollivierra’s native Detroit techno scene and the heady IDM explorations emerging thousands of miles east. Ollivierra, who recorded the project as The Detroit Escalator Company, was deeply embedded in his local scene, a promoter for the iconic club The Music Institute and a jack-of-all-trades at Derrick May’s Transmat Records. But on off-nights, he’d spend the witching hours riding May’s trail bike around the Motor City’s empty streets, listening to the traffic lights click from red to green and dreaming of sonic galaxies far, far away.

Remastered in half speed and reissued by Swiss label Mental Groove Records / Musique Pour La Danse with six bonus tracks, Soundtrack [313] + 6 marks the return of an unsung ambient-techno masterpiece, finally restored to its rightful place in the cosmos.
