Description:
Detroit teams up with the UK to present a mixutre of electro sounds,
all focusing on being good tracks to DJ with as well as dance floor
favorites. This release features two UK artists Paul Blackford and
Espion, and two Detroit artists WaveFirm and Sougon. Tripwire and
Crisis stick close to the classic Detroit sound of hard beats,
deep analog basslines and vocoder work. Apophis and Multiplex display
the musical complexity and sub bass goodness our island friends
are known so well for in thier production. Fast or slow this record
brings it.
Label Bio:
DeadLock Records was established in 2007. The main focus of this
label is to promote and preserve electro music and a few of it's variants.
With all the new forms of electro hitting the shelves, we felt it was
important to bring our own unique flavor of electro to the masses. The
forms of electro may range from booty to minimal acid electro, but the
foundation on which each track is built will stay true to it's deep
roots in the detroit electro scene.
