Dean Durrant is back with a massive acid techno release on Defuse Records: Static Engagement EP, including 3 wicked remixes: Dj / Producer Jerome Krom, owner of the famous Dutch Outland Records imprint, remixed the title track with a more minimal, pure “Amsterdam” techno approach. Another real Dutch hero: Lemon8, known for one of the biggest techno classics ever called Model8 and many other hits on his name, did a smashing melodic techno version of Location Shift and label owners Ziv Avriel & Diablo gave Static Engagement their own dynamic techno signature style. This new Defuse Records essential is full of surprises to rock any dance floor! Out on the 20th of August 2020 on Defuse Records, available in all major stores and streaming portals. Enjoy!

Dean Durrant - Location Shift (Lemon8 Remix)

Amsterdam based imprint Defuse Records is releasing powerful techno records since 2009. Born out of a desire to release quality electronic music, label bosses Ziv Avriel & Diablo decided to join hands again, after throwing many steaming techno parties together in the late nineties. Defuse Records is bringing the sound of Amsterdam’s underground techno, with their own distinguished sound, hard to find elsewhere, always progressing into new territories.

Daniel Englisch aka Diablo (NL) has an original and artistic approach to the variety of styles he combines in his music, live and dj sets. He started spinning in 1990 and is keeping that early 90’s vibe alive, where House Music was not bound to the cages we are in today, still radiating the warm vibes of those early beginnings. Combining styles like acid, house, electro, techno and occasionally Jungle / Drum & Bass as "Deadly D", albeit always with a recognisable sound of his own. 

Besides creating music, mixing, mastering and performing, he co-runs the Techno label Defuse Records, for the deeper shades of House and experimental music Cosmic Disco Records and lately Groom Lake Universal for his all encompassing vision on electronic music. 

He loves cooperating with his peers / friends from all over the world, mostly from his home studio in the heart of Amsterdam. 

Those - by now 30+ - years flew by, while there is still so much to discover, harmonise and create, another 30 please!
