dc trax: the octal years

In reflection of the many years of development of the DEMF/Movement festival since its inception coupled with the near 15-year anniversary of these releases (and the first live appearance of DeepChord at DEMF with Mike Schommer), Echospace announce the continuation of their archival edition. Many of these releases -- originally appearing on Octal Records -- took center stage on the walls of the dance room at Record Time (circa 2001) canned by Detroit legend, Mike Huckaby. This release will mark the fourth installment to the coveted series and returns to form with a stone cold classic from the DC Trax vault. The first time ever released on CD, lovingly remastered and assembled by Rod Modell. Great measures, focus, and time were spent to preserve the analog warmth and sonic integrity of the original masters. For those who don't know, these releases are considered by many as some of the most inspired and influential sounds to emerge from Detroit well over 15 years ago -- a blueprint was set here for many artists to come, a step in the evolution. Expect gorgeous plumes of sound deeper than the ocean floor -- a rich analog tapestry made in the heart of Detroit, techno city. A beautiful analog tapestry made in the heart of Detroit, techno city. Includes unreleased material. Comes in a digipak with retro matte UV finish.
