Already causing a stir on promo, dark arts 01 comprises 4 tracks of deeply arresting dancefloor music.

‘mid blue’ is a soundtrack for the darkest corner of the warehouse. The square bass grabs you from the first bar and combines with cosmic sweeps to drag you down deep before the toms come in to add that all-important funk factor.

‘broken space’ is a beautifully playful track. The stuttering beat, organic percussion and melodic touches merge with the darkest of strings to create a sound rooted in classic electronica but belonging firmly in the present.

‘restraint’ is a burst of heavyweight electroid futurism – rock-solid beats and alien sounds from god-knows which galaxy combine with a razor-sharp cymbal attack. Handle with care.

“Proper deep Detroit business” – a quote from just one of techno’s most well-respected producers. ‘red_dust2’ is a huge, rolling tech-house rhythm, mixing the warmth of the motor city with the cold machine funk found this side of the pond. Pure, timeless and custom-built for the dancefloor.

Mastered by one of the most well respected engineers in techno and pressed in one of Europe’s finest pressing plants, dark arts 01 is limited to 250 hand stamped, clear vinyl copies.
