Metroplex / US / RE 2025 / 12"
Finally — at long last — DJ Bone’s stone-cold Metroplex classic is back in the racks, giving fresh life to one of Detroit’s fiercest electro-techno 12"s for a new generation, and mercy to those who’ve rinsed their originals beyond repair.
Riding The Thin Line captures DJ Bone in peak, untouchable form. Two of its cuts — the thunderous ‘Shut The Lights Off’ and the acid-drenched ‘The Funk’ — were anchors of his legendary Subject: Detroit Vol. 2 mix. The former hits with pounding tribal heft, commanding vocal shouts, and pads so icy they’ll stop your pulse; the latter flexes that unmistakable Detroit DNA, answering once and for all what “electro-techno” really means.
Round it out with the levitating, peak-hour tension of ‘The Haunting’, nudge the pitch up a few notches, and you’ve got an all-timer — a no-questions-asked essential for any true Detroit devotee.
