Techno originator Kevin Saunderson DJs Detroit Pistons half-time show

Over the weekend, Kevin Saunderson was called upon to provide halftime entertainment for a game between his home city's basketball team the Detroit Pistons and their opponents the Toronto Raptors.

Saunderson had five minutes to entertain those gathered for the game and went heavy on the crowd-pleasers, opening on Queen's We Will Rock You before following it up with Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams and his own classic Good Life, released as Inner City. 

Posting on Twitter before his moment on the pitch, Saunderson said he was looking forward to playing a "different type of set," while declaring his support of the Pistons.

Last week, Kevin Saunderson announced plans to tour Europe this year as part of a 30th anniversary Inner City tour, while late last year he announced his first album as E-Dancer in two decades.
