D-Node 253: Echologist | Prologue

We're back from a break and proud to present a mix from Echologist, AKA Brendon Moeller, who has recorded for Prologue, M_REC, Electric Deluxe, Mule, and Echocord among other labels. Moeller is a truly unique producer, with a unique take on the post-Basic Channel world of dub techno. His sound is inspired by a variety of music inside and outside dance, and it shines through in a style that can sound atmospheric, global, or psychedelic in ways attempted by few artists. This set from Moelle...

D-Node 223: Giorgio Gigli | EDLX + Zooloft

This week we present a mix of dark, hypnotic techno from Italian DJ/producer Giorgio Gigli. Giorgio Gigli's sound is the result of a continuous, exploratory evolution through electronic dance music, inspired by the austere, distant, deep, and noir. Grounded by a strong ambient sensibility and a spatially-aware approach to developing sounds and feelings, his music is sculptural, reflexive, and trippy. Gigli's aesthetic is expressed throughout his label Zooloft Records, as well as his la...

D-Node 190: Raíz Live at EDLX | ADE

This week's D-node is taken from last year's Electric Deluxe After hour series during ADE weekend which featured Nina Kraviz, Gary Beck, Terrence Fixmer, Sian, Rod, Raíz, and Speedy J himself. Raíz performed the following set at 10am after day 3 of the non stop clubbing / industry marathon known as Amsterdam Dance Event. Their quixotic blend of techno/house kept exhausted party goers dancing well into the afternoon. Like many of their sets, this one is jacking throughout with many deep tra...

OUT NOW: [EDLX 26] Raíz / Jeff Derringer – Deception EP

Knowing all too well that two -or in this case three- heads are better than one, Electric Deluxe are proud to announce ‘Deception EP’, a new collaboration from Droid brothers Raíz and Jeff Derringer. Though Raíz first appeared—on record—only a few years ago, for a decade now Vidal & Vangelis Vargas, together with Drumcell, have been flying the flag for the west coast techno community as Droid Behaviour—the much touted event collective and label based in LA. Initially operating...

Speedy J should need no introduction, but for those who just got here, Jochem Paap is the Rotterdam man behind a long and accomplished career in electronic music. His discography is a recommended collection of milestones across the history and styles of techno since 1990, on labels like Plus 8, Warp, NovaMute, and Music Man among others.
