 Part of the Detroit wave that slipped through the cracks, Keith Worthy had been steadily applying his trade as a DJ for a good many years before he started to produce records. When he did finally press his talent to wax, it was for his own label, Aesthetic Audio, which he set up in 2007 and which has been home to releases not just from himself but also Juju & Jordash, Tony Lionni, Steven Tang and more. From the outset Worthy has trodden some familiar ground, that deepest of Detroit house and techno, that raw sound of emotion pouring through the machines it was created with. It’s a palpable thread through Worthy’s work, from the aching strings of “Shelovesmenot” through to the plaintive leads of “Rockit Science” hinting at cosmic heartbreak — emotion is everywhere you turn. With his debut album soon to be released, LWE wanted to uncover more of the Keith Worthy story and so tracked him down to talk about his label, the album and what it takes to produce honest music. He also mixed together our 181st exclusive podcast, a timeless mix of heartfelt house and techno, made up of freshly minted and age old classics. |
