You're right about theat Dave Clarke Mix. I gave it a very enthusiastic
mini-review some time ago. :)

Kevin Saunderson is one of the "originators" of Detroit techno, coming just
behind Juan Atkins and Derrick May in the reckoning. His early work as "Reese"
etc. is highly respected and can be found on many of the early Detroit
Compilations, and of course some of the more recent retrospectives. He worked
with both Juan and Derrick at times, and set up KMS records (that's his
initials), which is still going, but over the last few years has generally
moved to a house direction - that was all started by Inner City's "Big Fun", a
classic song on a pure Detroit track which became a huge hit. The follow up
"Good Life" was even bigger and the tracks spawned a million imitators.
I think maybe now you know who I am talking about? If you check the 313 pages
which can be reached from Hyperreal, you can find discogs for KMS and the other
Detroit labels.
