Scan 7: The Resistance 12″

I picked this up yesterday at Tec-Troit, a free annual techno festival in Corktown, where I heard DJs play mixes of this track multiple times. Originally released on Tresor in 2012, “The Resistance” is as UR as it gets, with “Jaguar”-esque strings and a voice proclaiming “If you can hear this, you are a part of the resistance.” It gets even more inspirational with the words “Know that you are not alone fighting an ongoing battle.” Terrence Parker’s mix adds church organ, though not as wild as the organ Mad Mike was playing during UR’s set last night. UR’s own mix of the track is straight up riot music, with industrial metal guitars and a commanding “get down!” sample.
