Tresor Records announce forthcoming special editions of the entire catalog of
Drexciya
and related projects. 2022 marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of
James Stinson
and the releases of the
Transllusion
and
Shifted Phases
albums. In recognition, the rights holders, their families, and the label have commissioned Detroit-based contemporary artist
Matthew Angelo Harrison
to re-conceptualize the covers of Tresor's Drexciya-related catalog. The series starts with
Neptune's Lair
, first released in 1999, with the
Hydro Doorways
single arriving shortly after. These records, individually and as a catalog, represent some of the most crucial moments in the Tresor label history, with the sound and mythic world of Drexciya undoubtedly inspiring generations. Detroit's Drexciya, with their close ties to Underground Resistance, emerged in 1991. With an encoded agenda and socio-political mission aimed at the world, a new page of Drexciya's grand history was written entitled
Neptune's Lair
. Drexciya is the sound of originality embodying all the musical styles and history that Detroit the city has seen and been part of. Drexciya is music for change that defies categorization; traditionally armed with freestyle electro, techno, funk, and jazz while covering an entire spectrum of moods. While words won't do
Neptune's Lair
proper justice, rootsy
Kraftwerk
ian techno, gives way to G-style electro, while jazzy freestyle funk evolves alongside classic 4/4 club sound. Although the roots run deep,
Neptune's Lair
heralded an important new chapter in the musical connections between Detroit's finest and Tresor. Double LP version comes on 180 gram vinyl; silver pantone, UV spot varnish.
