Amniote x Ute - Fundraiser Compilation vol. I - Previews

My track on the Amniote x Ute Fundraiser Compilation. 
All the proceeds will be donated to The Red Van: a volunteer-run NGO working with harm reduction and human rights for street based sex workers in Copenhagen.

"Sidewinder" is my reptilian alias for Mama Snake's label, Amniote Editions. All artists are invited to create their own reptilian alter ego for the project. My last release there was the "Ripple Effect" EP in 2019. I first met her in Autumn 2018 in Copenhagen to play at Jolene, as well as attend in-person sessions for the mastering+lacquer cut for the record. We mastered with Joel at Six Bit Deep and cut the lacquer with Hari (HVAD) at Kommunal Dubplate. Proper stuff. Few weeks later we shared the lineup on Sustain Release Festival in NYC, it was all a blast. 

I had the pleasure to first meet the Ute crew in Spring 2019, playing their club night at Blå in Oslo. Already had a good feeling when they picked me up from the airport and were playing Global Communication while driving through misty evergreen trees. Oslo freakishly reminded me a lot of my hometown of Seattle, just a bit less mountainous and hilly. That summer, we shared a lineup in Säule Berghain and at the end of season I was invited to play at one of their forest parties (bless) alongside their residents and Alpha Tracks - it was a really fun run! :~)

Sidewinder aka D.Dan - Can You Float? [Amniote x Ute Compilation]

Standard Deviation continues its Vinyl series with another Split release, aiming to foster intercultural exchange, collaboration and friendship between Ukraine and the international community. For the second Vinyl project, emerging Ukrainian musician @omonbreaker shares the stage with Berlin based Mala Junta Resident @ddan-tek. 

The Split format is a musical dialogue between two worlds, backgrounds and histories. With Mala Junta resident and Seattle raised D.Dan on the A-Side and Kyiv based, Dnipro-born Omon Breaker on the B-side, the record aims to reflect on both their individual experiences and musical journeys, as an honest statement of their current works spanning across D.Dan’s high-energy Trance and groovy summer Techno towards the EBM and 90’s style influenced works of Omon Breaker.

D.DAN / OMON BREAKER - STANDARD DEVIATION (previews)

Born under August sun,
in year of the dog,
brings luck for great times,
like a pup in summer.

D.Dan launches his own label, summerpup, as a home for his unique blend of deep, groovy, rolling sounds steeped in psychedelia. The label’s playful name and mantra derives from heritage knowledge from his Korean roots passed down by his mother, based on his time of birth.

Release date: Dec.03.2021

**Currently the vinyl industry is experiencing delays of 8-12+ months in production times, without solid guarantee of a release date. I find this just too long to delay getting the music out to the people, so I have decided to go forth with releasing the digital files now, with the vinyl to come next year when production has finished. I appreciate your patience and understanding! x

TITDM01 // D.Dan - Untitled

Straight outta Seattle via snowy Berlin. The thunderous, terror-wave modular techno of D.Dan is beset upon the world at one of the darkest moments in modern history.

Wormhole techno that screws together heaving-and-plunging drum battering with searing, riptide waves of noise-drenched alien synths. Roaring and stuttering to apocalyptic crescendos whether it be a scrunched 128bpm roller or a thundering 142bpm getaway.

Dananas is a proper robot-mulching time-warp workout, peaking in a delay-smattered riot of colliding kicks and bass haze. Title track The Danger Zone rockets out of the blocks at breakneck speed, bending space and time and repeating it's mesmerising chant "Take take take take" to a scorched closing.

Danarchy In The UK stretches it's acidic themes across 9 minutes of slowly morphing techno, reminiscent of the second wave of Detroit meets heavy early European techno rollers. A zooming steam-train steadily becoming more and more a UFO on the onlooker.

And then a soft smooth landing. The Danpire Strikes Back collects radar transmissions from the Oort Cloud and algorithmic translates them into something only synths and machines can full understand, but that human ears can just about fathom. Outer-realms code rippling through the NASA hard-drive. Lost ancient languages and the ghosts of a 1000 BC deep-web experiment.

All tracks named after Dan.

LTBLK009 // D.Dan - The Danger Zone

D.Dan returns to the Lobster family bringing that signature planet-slaying depth-charged techno alongside some lighter touch Dan material.

If Ya Name's Not Dan Ya Not Comin In is an ode to the rave. That classic spoken word lulling over rippling pads just before a rollocking kick breaks the deadlock. A stomping statement of intent that keeps it's head a dives deeper in the murky depths of the Mörk sound rather than scorching the earth with torn hats.

Sharing the same side is Dan's Dilemma, a cascading, tumbling mass of dub techno stabs that billow, swell and surge around a rhythmic undercurrent of punctured 808's kicks.

Hogging the flip and taking things into seemingly 'very unlike Dan' territory, Final Dantasy is a slow burning house track from the softr side of Dan. Urgently swinging into life and with a euphoric vocal refrain that loops into the red morning sky, shrouded by warm pads. A slow chugging closer and a real Dan rarity.
