A career highlight from DJ BONE, one of the charismatic figures presiding over the Detroit underground and techno soul, gets a reissue! Originally released in 1999 on the legendary METROPLEX. "Riding The Thin Line EP" is stacked with classics, from majestic, anthemic techno driven by soaring strings and tribal loops to raw, dirty electro.
His signature high-speed mixing style got people talking, and starting with his residency at THE LOVE CLUB he took the Detroit underground by storm. In 1996 LAURENT GARNIER caught his DJ set and immediately booked him for European gigs, and soon after came this masterpiece EP on JUAN ATKINS' METROPLEX — now reissued! With the vicious minimal electro-funk of "The Funk" (sample1), laced with a hint of acid, and "The Haunting" (sample2), a techno weapon that overwhelms the floor with high-pressure intensity and a mysterious vocal refrain, this record distills everything that makes DJ BONE great.
