“When Rob asked us to provide a warehouse mix for Electronic Explorations, we were very excited at the possibilities of which tracks to use for the mix. To us a warehouse rave is all about big sounding records, industrial venues and a crowd that are totally up for it. So when we recorded the mix, we gathered a selection of old tracks that have alot of inspiration for us and new tracks that we think have a similar aesthetic and attitude. We wanted the mix to be dark and driving, with a movement between the more percussive, rhythmic and melodic sounds within techno.”

Mancunian-based pairing AnD (Andy and Dimitri) are part of a new vanguard of English producers fueled by the leftover debris of British industrial music, northern rave culture, and south of the river swing. With a foundry of over 500-plus unreleased productions stowed away in their studio, the duo’s closed-mouth cultivation of industrialized techno sounds is now focused toward harder hitting dynamics, iron clad grooves, aggro distortion, and their trademark “silent part.”

They also run the Wood Bison-inspired Inner Surface Music label with Tom Dicicco, a three pronged venture exiting the enclaves of dub techno with a move into situational Downwards territory. The two are also launching their own white labeled 12″ series named AnD, charged by the ascendancy of unyielding and homespun British techno. Blurb lifted from LWE
