Elevator of techno, Kevin Saunderson returns to Flash. Between his old-school Detroit sound and impeccable selection of new, cutting-edge tracks, the KMS Records honcho has mastered ways to stay current in the dance music world. Few people have influenced dance music as much as this Detroit native and member of the original Belleville Three. As part of the duo Inner City, Kevin Saunderson topped the US Dance chart four times. His label, KMS Records, released genre-defining cuts like Chez Damier's "Can You Feel It," and his aliases E-Dancer, Inner City and Reese. We owe a great debt to Kevin Saunderson for his ingenuity and pioneering spirit, and are pleased to be hosting him for a Saturday night. Flash's master of revelry, Dansman is joined by Cahoots Records' Jus Nowhere for extended tag session early. Boss Ross and DJ Steve Kirn bring BaloTroit to #FlashBar featuring special guest Erphun in from LA who will be showcasing his new labels sound - Beneath The Woods, A label with no "genres" no hype, just great deep, underground music.

KEVIN SAUNDERSON:
Kevin Saunderson is an American electronic music producer. At the age of nine he moved to Belleville, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit where he attended Belleville High School and befriended two students, De rrick May and Juan Atkins. Saunderson, with Atkins and May, (often called the "Belleville Three"), is considered to be one of the originators of techno, specifically Detroit techno. He is married to Sharmeela Lamarsha Saunderson.
Although frequently associated with Detroit, Kevin Saunderson spent the early years of his life in Brooklyn, New York, before moving to Belleville, Michigan, a rural town some 30 miles from Detroit. As teenagers attending Belleville High School, Atkins, May, and Saunderson were fans of DJ Charles "The Electrifying Mojo" Johnson and the pop, disco, and funk music he played. Atkins and May soon became serious about mixing others' music and creating their own, but Saunderson pursued other goals first, studying telecommunications and playing American football at Eastern Michigan University. Atkins had begun recording with Cybotron in 1981, but it was not until 1985 that May followed suit and made a record. Initially concentrating on becoming a DJ, Saunderson watched the six-month-long process as May completed "Let's Go;" he was inspired to create his own music.
On his Inner City act: a Saunderson collaboration that came about "by accident," according to Saunderson when, in 1987, he recorded a backing track in his home studio, but needed lyrics and a female vocalist. His friend, Chicago house producer Terry ‘Housemaster’ Baldwin suggested Paris Grey. "Paris agreed, flew into Detroit, came up with lyrics and ‘Big Fun’ was born."[1] Saunderson filed away the tape until, months later, UK dance entrepreneur Neil Rushton came to Detroit in search of music for a compilation album, Techno - The New Dance Sound Of Detroit for Virgin Records. Neil enthusiastically included "Big Fun" on the album. It was soon released as a single and became a worldwide smash, only to be outsold by Inner City's follow-up single, "Good Life." A debut album, Paradise, soon followed. Over the years, and after three albums, Inner City had about 12 Top 40 hits in the UK and two Top 20 albums, with combined sales of more than 6 million.
