EXCHANGE BUREAU MUSIC unleashes ASSORTED GOOD vol.1
Out Today!
The second coming of Motown continues to unfold as one of Detroit's newest, quality sound factories releases their first full-length compilation this week.
After debuting the label 2 years ago with a string of solid singles, tight remixes and the clever "Particularly Handsome" EP of 2008, ExchangeBureauMusic is now playing with a full deck - a library sturdily built on a no-filler artist roster and undeniable grimey funk for which the D is known.
Detroit — land of Motown, of turntable glory, of black soil and rich musicianship. While the streets of forgotten New France are blemished with potholes, the neighborhoods tormented by burnt down houses, and the abandoned factories ghosts of evacuated industry, the underground music scene is packed with midnight marauders and pitch pioneers who take desolate environments and turn them into musical opportunities where innovation reigns supreme.
While the mass media has declared Detroit dead, music aficionados know better - we know it is only growing stronger, a cultural underground brewing beneath the surface, preparing to reign supreme just as it has when the Motor City birthed Motown, and Techno, and its innumerable contributions to each of the other major music genres.
EXB’s mission to connect Detroit’s rich Funk history with its equally thick Techno catalog becomes apparent on possibly its most popular single of late, “Thrillseekers,” a sexualized club stunner courtesy of a duo of dedicated Detroiters, Andy Toth and Billy Love, and continues to prove itself with its selection of the city's veteran House and Funk musicians intermingled delicately alongside some of its greener Hip Hop and Acid Lounge artists, and a few good people from Canada, Europe and the UK sprinkled in for that global take.
Trying to classify this fresh imprint, voted "Best New Label" by Real Detroit Weekly and named by Fusicology as one of the top 3 "Labels On The Rise" in 2009, will have you looking just plain silly. No genres here, just Good Music.
The hearty menu of Assorted Good vol.1 should keep you full for quite a minute...
