Toronto-based techno artist Greg Gow was given the honor of rekindling Transmat’s still warm embers, and ‘The Pilgrimage EP’ is the perfect catalyst for a Transmat return. The Bridge’ is an epic Detroit styled house cut, that on first listen, sounds like classic Transmat with huge strings and soulful melodies. Derrick May was captivated thus giving his undivided attention. Derrick needed Greg toexpand ‘The Bridge’ and requested an epic mix, which is what essentially created the EP. Greg managed to impress the sometime pedantic Transmat boss - the B side of ‘The Pilgrimage EP’, ‘Black Sun’, was on the original Gow demo. With one more release already scheduled between Gow and Transmat, it’s clear one of Detroit techno’s finest imprint is destined to return to the fore. |
