Raindrops EP

Collect Records

Five classic house tracks written and produced by Dan Piu in the 90's but not proper released till now. We've a right soft spot for Dan here at HQ - somehow the Swiss producer manages to occupy the sonic space between James Stinson's The Other People Place and the bleeps and bass of Nexus 21. Or, if you like, he takes the best bits of Detroit techno and UK bleep and distills it into his own evocative formular as pure and crystalline as the mountain air of the Alps... Very nice!

Astral Flights EP

Terrestrial Funk

Stunning 12" from Dan Piu on Miami's Terrestial Funk that channels the dreamier side of Drexciya and Azimuth era Kenny Larkin.

Limited copies and comes with a foldout 17" x 24" poster of Dan Piu's oil painting of the Detroit skyline in the year 2000.

It’s the new millennia. We find ourselves outside the Packard Plant in Detroit. Inside dancers coalesce on the work floor of another decaying American metropolis. Part two of Terrestrial Funk’s six part series with Dan Piu brings us to the year 2000. Four more tracks from the three decade compendium with nods to contemporaries like the late great James Stinson. Astral ancestors on celestial highways.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Real lush and velvety electro here from a producer who, for this release at least, takes inspiration from Drexciya - or more specifically, Jack People's "The Other People's Place". And I don't say that casually - this is really strong stuff.
