Reinstated is a new series from Metamorphic created to release music from Dan Curtin that has been previously released but only in very limited fashion on various compilations.  These tracks have never available digitally and most likely not heard by many apart from those who may have purchased the original compilations.  In the 90s and 00s CD compilations were very popular and many tracks have only been released on these compilations but nowhere else since that time.  Each volume will feature obscure tracks by Dan from some of these compilations, and Reinstated Volume 1 will showcase the following:  “Debris” was originally released in the 90s on the Fragmented Records compilation, Fragmented Records Vol 1, “Migration” was originally released in the early 90s on the compilation 3rd Side of The Record and “Migration (Config 2) has never been released until now. Finally, “Round Trip” was also released in the early 90s on the Volume Records compilation Trance Atlantic.  None of these tracks have seen the light of day since the early 90s and we are thrilled to bring these back out in digital format today.  Each release will be accompanied by a limited addition brushed aluminum print featuring the release artwork, available for separate purchase.

Reinstated Vol 1 (MET040)

Funkalectual Music continues releasing obscure and exciting music that has previously only been available on vinyl.  The Juice EP by Purveyors of Fine Funk sold out of its initial run on Catalyst Records of House Music’s capital city Chicago and has never been available since.  Funkalectual music is happy to offer this 3 track EP now in all digital formats.  The Juice get’s right to the point with banging energy and jacking drums bringing serious grooves to the floor.  What We need brings uplifting vibes mixed with driving pressure for a serious get-down and Free rounds out the EP with  future-funky samples and drum programming for when things start to get hot.

Purveyors of Fine Funk - Space Pimps From Planet-X

DJ-Kicks: Elkka

Particle Dawn (Mixed)

Dan Curtin returns back to classic form with a 4 track EP of smooth, deep, calculated beats. Dan takes us through a time warp with elements of jazz, funk, and R&B, with his own inimitable touch that puts his music in a unique category all its own. Autonomic Groove reminds of the better Purveyors of Fine Funk material, while other songs such as Bygone Epigone and Chained present new takes on Dans familiar jazzy sound. Another cool Down Low item!

Underground Sensations radio guest mix June 2017

Dating back to the fledgling early days of the label Tales From the Second Moon by Apogee was the first of many Peacefrog releases by Dan Curtin. As with Dan’s other early releases Tales From the Second Moon ‘s angular dancefloor groove borrowed from the original Motor City blueprint with a melodic sensibility that was drenched in the kind of yearning melancholy that suggested either pain of a heartbroken lover or the brittle dislocation of someone who longed to be transported to a distant galaxy. The acid, strings and complex rhythms contained on this EP originally released in 1993 were soon to become Dan’s trademark sound. Limited stock available. So be quick!

Dan Curtin DJ Mix IGM8 (podcast for Bass Culture Records)

Long time underground legend Dan Curtin once again delivers some hot property, that electronic music tastemakers and revered diggers will have a joy in adding to their bag. The sought after '99 release Spatial Relationships sees the light of day once more, remastered and repressed. An integral release from the American producers back catalogue on the vital Metamorphics Recordings. Opener Crazy Life is an energetic brew of dancing drums and busy hits all run through with some superbly cosmic synths. It is electrifying to say the least. She Thinks She's So Smooth is a hi tech house cut with exquisite drum programming and tripped out synths and chords that lend it a late night feel. It is filled with machine soul and future vibes and then gets followed by An Up The Wall Drive, which is pure Motor City techno with its warped bass and hyperdrive hits all underpinned by slick drum work. This is a timeless masterpiece from this long time pioneer, if you are not familiar with this one already, sit tight and enjoy the ride.
