Elusive Detroit EP has been made available again, re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released in conjunction with Kelli and Acacia Records Detroit.

Kelli Hand has long been at the front of Detroit House and Techno as a DJ and as a producer, in the past she has collaborated and released music with Claude Young, Robert Hood, Mike Banks and many more and her own Acacia Records label has released a long string of essential 12"s since it's 1990 inception. "Tools Vol.1" was released in 2002 and features 4 solid cuts from Kelli who is in full-on House mode. This EP is definitely for the DJ's, with each track being a real joy to blend in and out of the mix.

On side-A opener "My Love" is a stomping, stripped back, peak-time killer that's all heavy drums, trippy synth sounds and a lusty female voice while second track "Without You" is a smoothed-out vocal cut with rough beats, a rolling Disco leaning bass-line and some slick horns. On side-B we have "Remember When", an epic, string laden banger that builds and builds, getting heavier and more rhythmic as the track progresses. Finishing out the EP is "Want U Back" a pacey, organ driven 90's vibing House jam laced with vocals and samples, big room business!
