Inner City is an iconic American electronic music group that originated in the late 1980s, primarily known for their influence on the development of the Detroit techno scene. Founded by record producer and composer Kevin Saunderson, often credited as one of the Belleville Three alongside Derrick May and Juan Atkins, Inner City was a pioneering act that merged the raw energy of techno with the soulful elements of house music. Kevin Saunderson's collaboration with Chicago native vocalist Paris Grey, whose vocals became a defining feature of the group, led to a string of dance hits, cultivating a sound that was both innovative and accessible to a wider audience.

Over the years, Inner City has enjoyed substantial commercial success and critical acclaim, particularly with their early hits like "Big Fun" and "Good Life." Despite going through periods of hiatus and lineup changes, the group has continued to evolve while remaining true to their dancefloor roots. Their more recent releases, such as "Heavy," "Do Me Right," and "Make Life Funky," showcase their ability to adapt to the changing landscape of electronic dance music while reaffirming the timeless quality of their signature sound. Inner City's work has been frequently remixed, displaying the enduring appeal of their tracks, as new generations of artists pay homage to their legacy. With a career that spans over three decades, Inner City continues to captivate audiences worldwide with their infectious grooves and spirited performances.
