Kevin Saunderson Drops Video For Inner City & Idris Elba’s We All Move Together Featuring Detroit Will Breathe

 

Kevin Saunderson just released the video for his Inner City and Idris Elba collaboration “We All Move Together.” Saunderson linked with Detroit Will Breathe, an organization formed after the killing of George Floyd to fight police brutality, systemic racism and exploitation, for the video. In July Saunderson released his first album as Inner City in almost three decades which is also titled We All Move Together. The Detroit Techno pioneer enlisted Elba for the single which was originally about people moving on the dancefloor but is ultimately about humanity. 

 

 



Inner City: We All Move Together Album Stream

Inner City Louisa Tratalos

Inner City reemerges after a 28-year hiatus with the full-length We All Move Together. Kevin Saunderson and Paris Grey set the standard for techno when  “Big Fun” and “Good Life” became international dance hits 32 years ago. They would have more success with “Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin'” and “Pennies From Heaven” that included Saunderson’s ex-wife Ann. The group disbanded after the release of Paradise, Fire and Praise and Saunderson continued to make music under his many different monikers including E-Dancer, Tronikhouse and Reese. Inner City regrouped in 2017 with Saunderson’s son Dantiez and then singer Steffanie Christi’an joined the fold. We All Move All Together has brought the Inner City sound into 2020 by staying true to the original blueprint that was already futuristic. Idris Elba opens the album with a poetic introduction on the title track. There are also guest vocals from ZebrA OctobrA. The group played a series of European festivals last year including the Glastonbury Festival. Their touring plans for the new album were stopped like everyone else’s due to the pandemic. Despite their inability to go on the road, We All Move Together has the driving energy needed to help people get through the unrest taking place around the globe.
