While their more southern neighbors in Detroit provided the basis for much of modern electronic music, there is no denying the impact that Canadian techno has had on the world. It has been a decade since Ontario native Mike Shannon launched Cynosure and Revolver Records with friend J. Hunsberger. The twin labels were set up to respectively explore the dance floor and more experimental climes of techno and house, and in the process helped to champion a range of like-minded countrymen. Shannon’s own productions explore the gamut of this ethos, whether it’s the cheeky twisted floor cuts of John Shananigans or the deeper moodier fare released under his own name through to his introspective left of field material that graced the Possible Conclusions To Stories That Never End album. For the latest LWE podcast Mike assembled an exclusive mix of forthcoming and never released tracks in the old fashioned, two turntables and a mixer way he describes as “a little raw (no effects or edits), just the way I like it…†Help celebrate the tenth anniversary of one of Canada’s vanguard techno labels by peering into this sonic crystal ball of up and coming Cynosure exclusives.
