We've had a few legends of dance music on the show, but this week we welcome our first member of the Belleville Three.

Along with Juan Atkins and Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson crested the first wave of Detroit Techno and birthed a global movement that persists to this day. Under his own name as well as a plethora of alias and groups including Inner City and E Dancer, Kevin made some of the most important tracks of any era of dance music.

So of course this is an exciting episode. We talk about the forthcoming E Dancer record, working with his son who is now a member of that group as well as Inner City, as well as getting deep into the early era as well as his breakout success with Inner City.

This is a great episode, you're going to love it.
