“Melodica” is the new single from techno guru Kevin Saunderson, who in the circumstance appears under his moniker E-Dancer together with his son Dantiez. “Melodica” is released on Wednesday 23rd October 2024 on One House. This is not the first time Kevin Saunderson has joined forces with his son Dantiez: in 2019, the father-son duo revived the Inner City project with a world tour and an original album 30 years after the last one.
“Dantiez sounds like me. Working on this next generation of e-Dancer with him, I’m more passionate and energetic than ever – says Kevin Saunderson – “This is about me, the pioneer, passing the torch to carry the legacy. I know it’s in Dantiez’s DNA. I know he’s ready”.
“When people hear the new music, I hope they feel the elevation and the synergy between the original e-Dancer and the new iteration – Dantiez Saunderson says – On Melodica I pay homage to my father’s sonic palette while also adding a heavy dose of his own new school Detroit style”.
Innovation is at the forefront of every Kevin Saunderson project. His nickname, “The Elevator” was given to him not just for his role in transporting a new sound from Detroit to a global audience but also for his continued dedication to progressing the culture he helped create. Five decades in, Kevin will continue to enlighten new generations of club kids with the evolution of e-Dancer alongside his son and protégé, Dantiez Saunderson.
