Ride 'em Boy

The track was recorded for inclusion on the 1988 compilation Techno! The New Dance Sound of Detroit, issued by 10 Records and Virgin. Blake Baxter produced and performed the track during his first-wave Detroit period, with the compilation assembled by Neil Rushton and coordinated in Detroit by Derrick May. Released in 1988, it appeared on the compilation that introduced Detroit's new electronic sound to many UK and European listeners under the techno name. It placed Baxter alongside Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Eddie Fowlkes, and other foundational Detroit producers. The track remained one of Baxter's early signature recordings, often cited with Forever and a Day as part of his contribution to the original Detroit techno canon. Its continued association with Techno! The New Dance Sound of Detroit kept it tied to the genre's international naming and export moment.
