Strand – Message II
More stuff from Detroit finds it way to the world through Amsterdam’s Delsin Records. Strand consists of Brian Bonds and Kech Harrington and in the past they began recording as T.H.D. for Antonio Echol’s Serious Grooves label. In 1997, under the name Strand, they recorded the Floyd Cramer’s Revenge EP for Shake’s Frictional label. Frictional also released Strand’s latest EP Message I. Lately Strand was very successful with their live performance at the DEMF 2001 together with Shake.
Now their new EP sees daylight, fully filled again with their soulful and funky techno. The tracks end up somewhere between Shake’s freestyle beats and CiM’s soft electronic excursions. Strings and gentle beats are all around, as also going more uptempo & danceable in the groovy track Pocket Pimp. Funky, deep soul techno tracks in good Delsin tradition.

Future Beat Alliance – Disconnected
After being in musical action for almost ten years, Future Beat Alliance now comes up with his debut album: Disconnected. The album brings ten gorgeous warm funky tracks, with techno as main element, shifting towards deeper house and jazzy grooves as well.
The album sums up what his music has been all about until now: futuristic, haunting for beauty, deep funkiness, groovey and there always seems a link with the original Detroit techno vibe.
Future Beat Alliance (FBA) is Matthew Puffett and most of his releases came through his own fine Void label. After quitting the label and putting out two more releases on the Archive & Ferox labels, FBA find a new home at Amsterdam’s Delsin Records. This album brings very soulful, funky techno tracks, in style of Ian O’Brien, Kirk Degiorgio and others, proving deep romantic techno still exist!!

Aardvarck – Re Spoken featuring remixes by Nubian Mindz & Domu
co-release with Rushhour Recordings
When Aardvarck came up with his first demo, it appeared to be filled with towards thirty dope beat tracks. Rushhour decided to pass some up towards Delsin and together we did a co-release, Spoken (RH-002) and Non Spoken (6dsr/aar1) were both released in 2000. To put a crown on this collaboration, we asked Aardvarck’s favorite artists from the strong broken beat-scene, Nubian Mindz and Domu, to drop some remixes. Both Colin Lindo and Dominic Stanton took samples from the whole EPs and created each a new track with it. The results are featured on this split 12″.
About the original artist.. Aardvarck has new 12″es coming up on Music for Speakers as well as on Zephon’s Mom. Delsin Records will be releasing Aardvarck’s debut album coming autumn, preceded by a twelve inch featuring a remix by Attica Blues.. We hope you like it, we do..
