"This special release is dedicated to Detroit DJ Legend Ken Collier. His untimely passing deeply touched me personally, as he was one of a small feew who always supported me & my music. Because of Ken Collier, Detroit developed a dance scene, which inspired artists & producers to make dance records, which gave birth to TECHNO which has provided careets for many of you in the business today. So I dare ask all of you techno producers, DJs, record labels, record shops, techno magazines, clubs which play techno muis and fans of techno to pay respect to Ken Collier just as you would our other fine music inovators".
So read the dedication on the Intangible Records & Soundworks release of 'Tribute', a label run by Terrence Parker, when it was originally released in 1996 as a tribute to Ken Collier who passed that year and was acknowledged as a mentor figure for DJ´s like Alton Miller, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and many other known and unknown Detroit producers and DJ´s of today.
Parker has gone back to and 'All Eyes On You (Somethin' Here)' that features the vocals of Jakke Erixon with a new 'Terrence Parker Remix', an extended version, radio edit and instrumental versions.
What was thought as Techno, House, Dance etc back in the mid-nineties is somewhat different to today but you can't deny 'All Eyes on You (Somethin' Here)' sounds big and bouncey mainroom in it's new form.
Could this be a trend to go back to the 90s - as recently seen as Whirlpool Productions' 'Fly Hi Mel Tormé / 'Gimme' (see review HERE)? I hope so.
