Platinum-selling recording artist, label boss, festival promoter, true innovator in the pantheon of popular music, cultural champion, cracking DJ: there’s a lot to be said about Kevin Saunderson. His nickname of ‘The Elevator’ is apt: for his role in transporting Detroit’s new sound to a wider audience; as anyone who has seen him perform live can attest, his high-energy, high-spirit and high-impact DJ sets; and for spending the past 35 years of his life progressing the culture he helped create.

His influence runs deep, through both adopted hometown of Detroit, and music culture as a whole: as one of the Belleville Three, the high school trio which also includes Juan Atkins and Derrick May and he irreparably changed the face of electronic music with Inner City, giving it some of its most memorable tunes. The genesis of today’s enormous techno scene can be retraced straight to Kevin, Derrick and Juan, as their formative experiments on rudimentary hardware sketched a blueprint for a genre that was yet to exist.

Saunderson returns to the club on 10.11 and will be joined by Good Room resident Savile. Resident party The Funky Seshwa takes over the Bad Room for a night of psychedelic dance music featuring DJ’s, MC’s, and live musicians who specialize in deep and diverse grooves from around the world. This edition will feature the Velvet Groove Squad (live) with Aquiles Navarro on Trumpet, Markis Black on Keys, Willy Soul on 808/DJ Set and Disgonuts (DJ Set).
