The "Detroit Detroit" mp3 set includes six new songs that Candy created for the dance floor. Chock full of milky basslines and catchy counterparts, the tracks range from synthpop to booty bass to disco house to minimal techno. She performed them at the Minimal/Maximal Festival in Grenoble, France and the Destroy All Cars event in NYC. Named after various Detroit locations, the songs also pay homage to the city of automobiles, vacant buildings, and good techno. Download mp3s to the right! Artwork by Candy.

"With tracks named 'Cobo Hall' and 'Highland Park', the inspiration for the Detroit, Detroit EP is obvious: dramatic urban landscapes that are noble, sometimes failed, and very legendary. Aside from the track titles, there are direct nods towards some of Detroit’s other landmarks: the nervous sounds of Ersatz electro ca. 1999, Plastikman’s Muzik melodies, and a touch of Moodymann’s loopy retro-house. There are even a few plain-out dirty Dj Assault moments (see 'Greektown'). The overall sound, however, is not so obvious: disco crashes into minimal techno, which is fuzzed over with brash synths and firecracker drums and a few skittering high-hats. I’ll lay off the adjectives now, except to say it’s big and raw and very much Detroit."
