after last years spectacular return to our airwaves and the world of techno with the release of the excellent album from the far future pt. 2, the detroit veteran terrence dixon is back with a new release entitled the giant robot ep on monique musique imprint, while that enigmatic and experimental british producer actress has been brought in on remix duties.

detroit techno veteran terrence dixon marks another chapter of his long standing career signing for italian imprint out electronic recordings as population one. after releasing three eps on modularz, 30drop and his own outlet reduction in 2015 under the aformentioned moniker, terrence dixon is going to kick off the new year with two techno, retro-feeling original tracks capturing his typical production take.

population one, the legendary project of the detroit techno legend, terrence dixon, arrives at 30drop to present his new work and unveils the 30drop guest artists release series under the name of: 30drop exoplanets. >time will tell< is a conceptual work that exceeds standards. the hypnotic and elegant minimalism of >3.26.2013at11.40pm< harmonic complexity and surrealism jazz of >11.18.2013<t1:41am< and >5.26.2012at5.59pm< and the sonic and spatial reverie >12.1.2008at5.48pm< are the four tracks of the ep. deliciously transgressor, imaginative and ambitious, the work gets into an unexplored territory to the delight of the most avant-garde dance floor.

population one returns on metroplex. first appearing on juan atkins legendary imprint, way back in 96, and continuing to drop a stream of top notch releases for them ever since - it seems these tracks were made especially with the label in mind. less reduced than his work on his own label, terrence dixon delivers 4 amazing tracks on this firing ep.
