It’s always making my palms sweat instantly to see a Planet E record on the new releases’ list. Not many labels do that to me these days, but I really cannot recall any disappointments from this label during the years. Not to mention that Planet E is one of the most respected native Detroit techno and house labels since its early ages and is run by Carl Craig, who has pretty much shaped every scape of the modern house and techno sound.

I admit I’ve never heard anything about Sebastien San, and it appears that the guy has a quite short discography so far. But “Rising Sun” got me and my sweaty palms on the first beat. It is built on one short and simple hook and has quite a linear structure, but (typically for Carl Craig) it never gets boring. And works like a Chippendales show on a bingo night – I cannot wait to let this one loose on the dancefloor. Carl Craig edit on the flip restructures the original a bit and offers another buildup scheme.
