 EXCHANGE BUREAU MUSIC unleashes ASSORTED GOOD vol.1 Out Today!
The second coming of Motown continues to unfold as one of Detroit's newest, quality sound factories releases their first full-length compilation this week. After debuting the label 2 years ago with a string of solid singles, tight remixes and the clever "Particularly Handsome" EP of 2008, ExchangeBureauMusic is now playing with a full deck - a library sturdily built on a no-filler artist roster and undeniable grimey funk for which the D is known.
Detroit — land of Motown, of turntable glory, of black soil and rich
musicianship. While the streets of forgotten New France are blemished
with potholes, the neighborhoods tormented by burnt down houses, and
the abandoned factories ghosts of evacuated industry, the underground
music scene is packed with midnight marauders and pitch pioneers who
take desolate environments and turn them into musical opportunities
where innovation reigns supreme. While the mass media has declared
Detroit dead, music aficionados know better - we know it is only
growing stronger, a cultural underground brewing beneath the surface,
preparing to reign supreme just as it has when the Motor City birthed
Motown, and Techno, and its innumerable contributions to each of the
other major music genres.
EXB’s mission to connect Detroit’s rich Funk history with its equally
thick Techno catalog becomes apparent on possibly its most popular
single of late, “Thrillseekers,” a sexualized club stunner courtesy of
a duo of dedicated Detroiters, Andy Toth and Billy Love, and continues
to prove itself with its selection of the city's veteran House and
Funk musicians intermingled delicately alongside some of its greener
Hip Hop and Acid Lounge artists, and a few good people from Canada,
Europe and the UK sprinkled in for that global take.
Trying to classify this fresh imprint, voted "Best New Label" by Real
Detroit Weekly and named by Fusicology as one of the top 3 "Labels On
The Rise" in 2009, will have you looking just plain silly. No genres
here, just Good Music.
The hearty menu of Assorted Good vol.1 should keep you full for quite
a minute...

Limited time free download of Sweden's Opolopo remix of Track #4
"Reversed" Blacktop ft Amalia here!
Otherwise known as Aklimatize, Blacktop's space age, funk-fueled,
bass-heavy dance tracks enlighten the audience on 'Reversed', with the
help of Stockholm's oral-fixator-funk-monstress Amalia, Blacktop's
board work takes on a life of its own recalling the blaxploitation
soundtracks of the '70s while ripping a page out of Blackalicious'
World of Vibrations book. The set of remixes that follow only add to
the equation. Sweden's Opolopo transports you via DeLorean to 1982
Disco Boogie bliss, Detroit-based John Arnold's dirtier dub cut and
the almost Latin-flavored 'Moot Zoo Dub' uncover the sexual lyrics
hidden within.
"Heavyweight dirty cosmic funk from canada's finest. The John Arnold
rub is some ISH!!" - Mark de Clive-Lowe
"The tracks is absolutely nuts...wikkid 80's vibez" - Daz-I-Kue (I-Kue Productions/Bugz In The Attic)
"Great 80s stepper...in the box!!!" - Mad Mats (Raw Fusion)
