Repressed in September 2016.
The late, great Detroit mainstay Mike Huckaby had one of the most distinctive sounds in deep house. His always smoky tracks did the basics exceptionally well so never relied on gimmicks to win the attention of DJs and dancers. Never was that more evident than on his standout genre-study, 'Baseline 88-89' which served up a pair of smoky basement tracks with iconic basslines. We have found a few old copies of this cult EP on his own Synth label and it kicks off with 'Baseline 88' with its languid synth bass drunkenly falling about beneath buoyant and dubby kicks. 'Baseline 89' has a darker bassline and loopy drums with a little more edge and bite. These are two perennial favourites amongst underground heads.
