When DJ / Rupture and Matt Shadetek decided to go with an underwater concept for their album Solar Life Raft they were of course following a fairly rich history in electronic music of utilizing such thematics, for example, with Drexciya’s Bubble Metropolis. U.R. also did a bit of an acid house banger with a track called Submerge.
Theo Parrish goes deep with this remix of Sun Ra, and Detroit once again becomes a gateway into the cosmos splicing through time & space. One thing I miss about living in the Midwest is how seeped the whole area is with Sun Ra’s legacy… you just don’t get that sort of connection with his music in other parts of the country.
