KEVIN SAUNDERSON
FREE GUEST LIST B4 11PM WITH RSVP
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, Derrick 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.
THE SAUNDERSON BROTHERS
The Saunderson Brothers are Dantiez & Damarii, the two eldest sons of legendary Techno creator Kevin Saunderson.
Detroit, for both brothers, has always been their home and coming from a city with such a profound musical heritage has undoubtably influenced their hotly-tipped sound, which has them pegged as the Motor City’s ones to watch.
With releases on the legendary KMS imprint and remixes for the likes of MK in the bag, Dantiez and Damarii seem destined to position themselves within the 313’s next generation of House and Techno stalwarts. This sentiment is leant further weight by their ever-growing DJ accolades, regularly named as an unmissable act at Detroit’s Movement Festival and farther afield.
It is clear to see The Saunderson Brothers will have no problem carrying the torch for the finest in Electronic Music into 2017 and beyond.
