To put together the lineup for this bash, Lights Down Low organizers have picked through their favorites and assembled a host of artists who represent different facets of the party sound and atmosphere. First and foremost is Kevin Saunderson, known as one of the "Belleville Three" (alongside Juan Atkins and Derrick May), the originators of the Detroit techno sound. Saunderson has produced and remixed countless tracks at this point, but some of his earliest are still his best — as Inner City, for example, he produced two of the best-known techno tracks of all time, "Good Life" and "Big Fun," both of which are essentially LDL anthems.
Next up are a pair of two-step/U.K. garage legends, Todd Edwards (who happens to be American) and M.J. Cole, who have spent their entire careers refining the garage sound: R&B-inflected, up-tempo, and broken-beat, both are superb producers and DJs. Cyril Hahn, next on the bill, owes a great debt to both Edwards and Cole and produces irresistible R&B remixes and edits that are impossible not to love.
Rounding out the bill is Jonas Rathsman, an up-and-coming French house producer. He's joined by Lights Down Low residents Corey Sizemore and Richie Panic and longtime partner in crime DJ Dials. Take a nap, pop a bottle of Champagne, and get dressed up — it's time to celebrate.
