Soiree Records International returns in 2026 with a powerful reimagining of a modern underground classic. I Am Not From Detroit (Remixes) (SRT190) revisits Andy Vaz’s deep house statement with a carefully curated selection of new interpretations that honor the original while pushing it into fresh territory.
The release brings together a strong lineup of remixers, each adding their own signature touch. Drivetrain’s “Mix From Detroit” delivers a groove-driven, machine-soul workout rooted in Motor City sensibility raw, hypnotic, and built for late-night floors. CloudMasterWeed’s “Def Mix” dives into deeper, more atmospheric textures, layering subtle dub elements over a rolling rhythm structure. Meanwhile, Javonnette’s “Mars Mix” injects cosmic energy into the package, blending acid flourishes with tight percussion for a forward-thinking club tool.
At its core, the EP stays true to Soiree Records’ long-standing ethos: authentic underground house music with depth, character, and purpose. Rather than chasing trends, this remix collection reinforces the timeless qualities that made the original resonate—soulful grooves, Detroit influence, and a commitment to quality production.
