Redruth Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Urban Tribe - Loyal Opposition After a stream of so-so club records, Planet E do what they do best and pull up some of that real Detroit stuff!! Urban Tribe aka Sherard Ingram is here joined by longtime project collaborators KDJ (Moodymann), Shake and Carl Craig and their work together has in the past made for some of the best to emerge from the 313 postcode. Oh, and Ingram's own DJ sets as Stingray are nothing short of legendary. Thankfully he's not really compromised his style one bit for Planet E, laying down down four aqua-jacking currents designed for strong swimmers and real techno aficionados. With the exception of the slow synthy treasure 'Insolitology' Ingram works at his usual uptempo flex on the hydraulic pump of 'Micro Manager', the serrated bittersweet jack of 'Apathy' and the innate electro-soul drive of 'Synchophant' to give you those rarified motor city feelings. Special stuff! Urban Tribe Boomkat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 the first track sounds awesome but the 2nd two sound like much more generic techno. I think i like it better when he's by himself (as much as i can appreciate carl craig) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be The Collapse Of Modern Culture, which is awesome, but quite different from any other Urban Tribe/Stingray release hate to be redundant but yeah the collapse of modern culture is probably the most generically 'detroit' sounding release by Urban Tribe (also about half the BPM, which takes some getting used to). i prefer the more drexciya flavored stuff which is when he's by himself. His last Dj Stingray album was phenomenal, i hope he does another soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redruth Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 just got my ears on a copy of the collapse of modern culture and crapping shit it's good - how did i go all these years listening to urban tribe without digging for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khov Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 yeah its a killer album, i think i've read that one of the reason its not that known is that it was released at the same time of the first Unkle album (by label owner james lavelle) & after that, the label went downhill, so poor promo/press. everyone missed it. i really like the latest track on that new EP.
