EPM.188 comes from Detroit group Strand. With releases on revered labels such as Frictional, React, Tresor, Puzzlebox, Mojuba, Delsin and as a DJ, B. Bonds has been a guiding presence on the Detroit DJ scene for many years. With a genre bending aesthetic and a commitment to the genuine purpose of the DJ he blends elements of techno, house and electro with expert ease on his mix for EPM, featuring tracks from artists such as Chip E, Scott Grooves, Alan Fitzpatrick, Robert Hood, Eddie Fowlkes, Aril Brikha, Kerri Chandler, Daniel Bell, Francesco Terranova, Paul Mac and more.
After being introduced to the art of mixing two records in the early ‘80s by Eddie Fowlkes, B. Bonds earned his first residency in Windsor, Ontario at Stanley’s in 1988. Glasgow, Dublin, Munich, Amsterdam, and Bologna are some of the places he’s played. With an ear for the future B. Bonds always keeps it funky and he keeps that going throughout this EPM Mix as well as in his and Keith Tucker’s remix of Reel By Real’s legendary ‘Surkit’. The track also gets a full remastered vinyl release via EPM/Yoyaku on 23 May with further remixes from drum n bass legend Calibre and Oliver Way & Ben Long feat. Jon Dixon.
