DCE-001 returns with purpose. For the first time in 30 years, Systematic Breakdown is repressed in a strictly limited edition: just 100 hand-numbered copies, made at Analog Dreams with care and reverence, but also available to buy digitally.

Originally a dancefloor staple in the mid-90s, Systematic Breakdown stood out for its unconventional main synth motif—its movement still cuts through a set with urgency and grit. Famous for its massive buildup and release, drawing directly from the raw energy of early DCE live shows.

Gyre 303 locks into a driving acid bassline that channels classic DCE-era techno, rolling with uncompromising momentum. Solarize blends fluttering acid pulses with whaling PWM synth leads that feel like a solar storm tapping at your consciousness.

Outback Uplink captures the moment DCE first sent its signal to the world. Before global connectivity meant anything, this track was our line cast into the void—an announcement from Australia: “We are here.”

Finally, Angels carries a it’s message in a secret in its groove. Originally cut in reverse by the legendary Ron Murphy—Detroit master cutter, whose sonic fingerprints are all over early DCE history—this backwards cut is the hidden “Easter egg.” It blends distortion, hip-hop-style beats, acid bass, and reverse cymbals into one collision of experimentation. Now it returns as proof that DCE has always been pushing sonic genre boundaries..

The early DNA of DCE visualised in the labels “DNA strip,” the tactile presence of hand numbering, the backwards-cut tribute—these are the markers of a release that bridges past and future. Systematic Breakdown is a key part of the labels history, but it’s alive again!
