dLCMLP The Connection Machine "Painless"

2x12" LP / CD [dLCMLPLP/dLCMLP]


An album of deep, dreamy and smudgy Detroit Techno & Acid House, produced in the late-1990's by Natasja Hagemeier & Jeroen Brandjes of Utrecht, Netherlands, and originally intended for Carl Craig's Planet E label - a lost classic!



dLNEBLP Nebraska "Mixed Up Music For Mixed Up People"

2x12" LP [dLNEBLP]


Nebraska is Ali Gibbs, originally from Leicester, UK. We were big fans of his stuff on Russ Gabriel's Ferox and Player labels, and tracked him down for more. He sent us this, an album of expertly blended cocktails of house and techno, with splashes of jazz, funk, disco and soul.



dL014 Nebraska "Album Sampler"

12" [dL014]


Preview for the 'Mixed Up Music For Mixed Up People" album, featuring alternate mixes of two of the more dancefloor-friendly tracks, and two remixes by Soul 223 aka Stasis.



dLVEXTLP Convextion

2x12" LP/CD [dLVEXTLP/dLVEXTCD]


Convextion's debut album, featuring tracks recorded between 1996 and 2006. Inspired by early 4AD releases, Derrick May’s strings, Virgo’s basslines, the Burrell Bros.’ grooves, Juan Atkins’ Deep Space vistas and the relentless pulse and mesmerizing echoes of Basic Channel.



dLVEXT2 E.R.P.

12" [dLVEXT2]


Convextion, working under his E.R.P. alias (unseen since releases in the mid-90’s on the Detroit label Matrix), presents a six-pack of deeply chilled and beautiful electro-techno. The tracks are full of euphoric heartache Convextion style strings, lovely and delicate twinkling melodies reminding to Juan Atkins and NWAQ, juice-y FM basslines, and precise 808 beats.



dL012 Iridite Productions "The Acceptable Face Of Elitist Techno"

12" [dL012]


The Iridite collective from Glasgow, Scotland, with four tracks: techno jams for dancefloors and living rooms, full of high-grade beats, swirling melodies, string hits, and dope basslines. Techno for the elite!



dLVEXT1 Convextion

12" [dLVEXT1]


Convextion dives deep into dark romantic moods, bringing warm melancholic strings and his classic Detroit meets Basic Channel dub-techno sound. From the driving bass and jacking rhythms of the chord drenched ‘Spice Tea’, keeping the listener moving on a celestial highway at light speed, to the piercing high-pass sweeps and amazing bassline in ‘Stiletto Caress’, making your heart beat – Convextion’s music embodies soul, emotion and depth.



dL011 East Island vs The Moderator

12" [dL011]


East Island and The Moderator, who back in the days had releases on the legendary dutch techno label Eevo Lute Muzique, take turns presenting six tracks of deep moody techno and house. The sounds range from warm and open and a bit abstract, to dark and tense, with even a kraftwerk-y electro jam thrown in for good measure.



dL010 Dan Curtin "Distort.Archive.Desire."

12" [dL010]


A 4 track EP of smooth, deep, calculated beats. Dan takes us through a time warp with elements of jazz, funk, and r&b, with his own inimitable touch that puts his music in a unique category all its own.



dL009 Polarius "Jams From The Funk Dump"

12" [dL009]


Recorded to tape for extra grit and warmth, Polarius’ sound is a subtle blend of classic chi house & techno with understated elements of (The Hague style) disco and electro. Tough and raw stuff, and funky and unique -- full of bouncing rimshots and cowbells, thick & dark basslines, hooky melodies, and even a few pitched-down classic acid house style vocals.



dL008 Arne Weinberg "Beauty In Decay"

12" [dL008]


A journey through deep, dark, dramatic, soulful techno -- full of movement, subtlety, intense moods, and analog textures. From Frankfurt, Germany, Arne’s style comes off like a mixture of B12, Balil, Kenny Larkin, and Kevin Saunderson, the dark dubby chords in “Way Back To The North” even recalling the legendary 3MB Berlin-Detroit collaborations.



dL007 The Moderator "Sliding To Midnight"

12" [dL007]


Deep, classic style Detroit techno. Chunky 909 percussion is draped with deep drifting chords and woven with wild and funky Mr Fingers-y basslines, resulting in beautiful, soulful and moody music that straddles early Detroit and Chicago techno & house,
