This year Kevin Saunderson, Ann Saunderson and Paris Grey, collectively known as the legendary band Inner City, release ‘Future’, their first entirely new material since parting company in 2001, written and produced in collaboration with another Detroit legend, namely Kenny Larkin, with additional production duties provided by the very talented producer/remixer Orlando Voorn.

The track marks a welcome return for a group that combined the tough, futuristic grooves of the Detroit scene with the vocal energy of R&B and gospel and helped to define the period in which house and techno moved from underground phenomena to top 10 material, paving the way for hundreds of dance hits to come. ‘Future’ is devastatingly catchy and highly emotional, exhibiting all the soulful flavours and qualities you would expect from these celebrated producers and singers. Kenny Larkin is also on remix duties, beautifully reworking the original into a techno infused monster with intoxicating staccato vocals.
