Kevin Saunderson calls out rip off of “The Sound” (MP3)

Techno icon Kevin Saunderson created some of the most sampled sounds and recognizable songs around, but apparently upon hearing “Beat Me Back” by Supernova, he’d heard enough. Saunderson believes strongly that song is basically nothing more than a filtered loop of his 1987 classic “The Sound” and he’s putting both songs out there for everyone to hear and decide for themselves.

Grab his classic original from his website here.

Visit his SoundCloud page to check the Supernova version and see what you think. The download link there is live so he’s basically giving away their track too. I guess that puts the ball in their court in terms of suing him for giving away what he considers to be his track in the first place.

Here’s the full text of his open letter on the subject:

Movement 2010 Day Two

Unabated sun, endlessly thumping music and a few surprises were on order for day two of Movement 2010. Nothing quite matched the immersive spectacle of the Plastikman set of the previous night, and crowds were not as jam packed throughout the day, but there was a reason to visit and be amazed at every single stage at one point or another throughout the day, and the closing set by legendary Detroit techno band Inner City proved to be a triumphant moment.

Movement Detroit Line-Up: Plastikman, Model 500, Inner City

10th Annual Techno Fest Gets Back To It's Roots 

Promoters Paxahau announced the nearly complete line-up for the 10th annual Movement Electronic Music Festival. Headliners for this year’s event—the fourth booked by Paxahau—is notable for it’s unique live performances by Detroit techno legends under various guises—Richie Hawtin (Plastikman), Model 500 (Juan Atkins) and Inner City (Inner CIty). What’s also notable is the absence of the more mainstream dance acts that Paxahau has invited in the past in an attempt to open up the festival to a wider audience. There is no sign of a Benny Bennaci, Moby or Deadmau5 type performer. The closest thing to a crossover might be DJ-A-Trak and Kid Sister, but 2010 clearly marks a return to the purist roots of the original DEMF.

Full line-up after the jump…
