Following the Black ep and the Tangerine ep comes the Blue ep, the third ep in Detroit Beatdown Volume Two.

A1: Detroit band Exchange Bureau asked John Arnold (Ubiquity Records) to add his funk to their sound. The result is this delicious piece of electronic pop/soul with a twist.

A2: Ibex is Tony Ollivierra, younger brother of Neil (Detroit Escalator Company). Ibex has released on Planet E, Transmat, and recently on his own Ibex Music imprint. Spiritual War is grooving Detroit Techno in a classic Transmat vein, pitched at 120 bpm. In addition to writing and producing the track, Ibex wrote and delivers the powerful lyric Spiritual War.

B1: Keith Worthy has been making heads nod recently with his releases on his Aesthetic Audio imprint. Here he drops a piece of deep grooving Detroit electronic funk at 120 bpm.

B2: Norm Talley teams up with Doc Link from Chicago for this irresistible dance floor bomb featuring Lorie Caval and E-Man. The track mesmerises from the start. Guaranteed to catch fire.
