Re: (313) Drexciya Research Lab

If only I could get my hands on it all!

It's always great to find something new like that. I don't mean more by the same artists, though, necessarily. I've once been to the US, on a business trip to NYC around 1998 and I went to Sonic Groove and bought many of the Direct Beat records they had, and a few t-shirts I wore for years, or lost (tragically). Indulgent.

If I were still mixing I'd be picking out tracks for a mix. I might do that, sometime. At the moment I just see it's a bit of an education. You've mentioned a couple of things that I'll definitely check out. Cheers :)

I'm surprised that between their ~3 albums as Drexciya, Abstract Thought,
Arpanet, Dataphysix, Glass Domain, Heinrich Mueller, Intellitronic, J

Elecktroids, UR, Shifted Phases, Transllusion, The Other People Place, etc
etc + their solo works - dozens and dozens of records - you would've run
out of music :o

If you are interested in music by Gerald Donald and James Stinson,

including Drexicya, then you probably have found this website called

Drexiya Research Lab. There's been some activity on it more recently,

including an updated discography of related music. I'm trawling through

YouTube via Discogs since I missed a lot of this great work. I want to

hear it all but haven't got the deep pockets required, so glad some can be

found on YouTube for now. I'm doing my own research.

When I first heard Drexciya on Underground Resistance in the later part of

the 90's I was instantly hooked. That and Direct Beat along with Red

Planet and Underground Resistance. I'm more into Hip Hop than I am into

House. I like the raw bass and rebel sounds from Neil Landstrumm, and

original electronic music from Aphex Twin. I'm considering all those

influences, Detroit electro and techno being very significant. I was too

young to catch the first waves, and a strong appetite for more of this

kind of music. Electro-techno, techno-bass, techno-soul.

Any suggestions?
