while a series of projects are slated for release under the dirt tech reck banner, the first is the electric street orchestra. its inspiration is from those who are called street people. forgotten people from a forgotten city. it has also steeped in the detroit tradition of ignoring the notion of genre and taking a broad range of elements and inspiration to create something that is both new and familiar. bringing together a constellation of detroits sonic masters. dtr-01 takes urs mad mike and agent chaos, house music king theo parrish, hip hop/house percussionist dez andres, and rock/funk master guitarist duminie deporres, and joins them through the lens of jeedo’s vision of the future

doubleheart, the collaborative project of two of scotlands longest serving creative individuals in electronic music - jd twitch (optimo espacio) and neil landstrumm. taking its name from title song *roots* - a sub heavy, tension building track that re-imagines jamaican dub poet michael smiths original from the seminal 1982 album ‘mi cyaan believe it - the ep as a whole works as an analogue exploration into the rawer side of dance music. working together allows these veteran producers to fuse their individual styles and musical sensibilities, combining landstrumms raw aesthetic and mastery of hardware manipulation with twitchs unrivalled knowledge of what makes a dancefloor tick. spawning from the depths of their imaginations and machines are 4 club-ready tracks brimming with anticipation and menace. although taking its inspiration from 80s electro and 90s acid & rave, the final result is far from a throwback to a halcyon, bygone era. instead, they have managed to carve out a distinctive sound the bleeps and bangs its way firmly into 2013.

stompin and groovin techhouse madness

garben eden aka peter uertz describes himself as a dancefloor inspired electronic musician. no surprise then that his debut on lampuka explores this environment but on both the lighter and darker sides of the 4:4 camp. tracks are brimming with what are often experimental sounds, yet with solid grooves and production techniques throughout. uertz has definitely honed his own recognisable quality and his live sets are keeping the toes tapping in his home city of düsseldorf, but with recent releases on anton zaps ethereal sound (russia) and us imprint ectasy records alongside vakula on …

diva is a project which explores the outer regions of technos psyche - combining the trippy sensuality of chris & cosey with the brutalist analogue aesthetic of the likes of robert hood or liasons dangereuses. inspired by the vocal histrionics of strobe lit sirens such as loleatta holloway and jocelyn brown, diva calls on the protean roots of basement club music. lead track >paris stabbing< is a stunning excursion into motor city madness, abstracted disco vocals clash with a broken digi-arpeggio and hooverish bass break down, whilst the flip side >but i ve never< imposes a detuned synth siren over an industrial bass sequence and sp1200 piano stabs to eerie effect. also included is the >paris stabbing (beats)< which pares down the original, adding detuned melodic percussion into a minimalist after hours tool.
