[Kevin Saunderson] Dear friends, fans and members of the music industry. Today I’m giving away as a free download one of the productions I am most proud of: Reese & Santonio “The Sound”. I recorded “The Sound” back in 1987 and released it on my own KMS Records label. It was a massive hit at New York’s Paradise Garage and in Chicago and of course Detroit. Once it hit the UK it became one of the earliest Detroit anthems right around Europe, a huge underground record across the globe - a true desert island techno track. It is such a special record to me because it was one of my first really successful productions and I hope that you all will enjoy this free, fresh digital download of my original 1987 version.

Regarded as one of the finest producers and DJ¹s of his time, Kris Menace is just as likely to get support from Erol Alkan, Soulwax and A-Trak as he is from Mylo, Sasha, Tiesto and Pete Tong.

So today, we have the chance to offer you an exclusive interview with him. It follows notably the interviews of other German DJs like Thomas Gold, Extrawelt and Butch.
