There's been some big changes in my life recently and I made this to blow off some steam with some slamming kicks. It's probably the most pounding mix I've ever done. Starts more experimental then into mostly techno that gets spicier and spicier. Had a lot of fun finding synergies and switching up vibes. Danced a lot. It was supposed to be 60 mins but I peaked too soon and didn't know how to continue. Story of my life.

Its opposite lover "SOFT/MINIMAL/INTROSPECTIVE", a 4 channel surround sound ambient mix, will come shortly.

HARD/MAXIMAL/CATHARTIC

'Animate Skin Forget Everything' is Dems' second LP, coming a decade after our first album, 'Muscle Memory'. This collection of songs was recorded and produced between 2022 and 2024, initially in short period together between countries as David had moved to Montreal, Canada for many years, before coming closer to home in Copenhagen, Denmark more recently. We recorded over short periods in a makeshift East Sussex studio (/ renovated barn) to create the bulk of the body of work, and then built that in-person and in our studios.

We loved making this record for ourselves, and developing an underlying atmosphere connecting a broad and playful scope of music. Tracks like 'I Let You', 'Inverleith' and 'Red Lines' are the kind of heavily club-influenced tracks we always wanted to write but never felt able to for some reason. 'Ten Feet' and Split It' are these song poems in a style that we always seem to be drawn to. And all of the songs are much more personal in the exposition of particular stories and events that we wanted to draw out. We hope you enjoy this record.

Transitions (Ft. Dan Moss)

David Allred shares new song The Mirror of Time from his debut album with Erased Tapes titled The Transition — out November 2. 

Featuring Peter Broderick on strings, the new single is a contemplative ballad that finds David reflecting on his life and the inevitability of time passing.

Hailing from Loomis, a small town outside of Sacramento, via Portland, Oregon – David worked as a sound engineer and session musician, featuring on multiple recordings by the likes of Birger Olsen, Brigid Mae Power, Brumes, The Beacon Sound Choir, Chantal Acda, Heather Woods Broderick, Jung Body, Masayoshi Fujita, and many more. He quickly found himself touring Europe with Peter Broderick, following last year's collaborative release Find The Ways, and contributing the arresting voice and double bass piece Ahoy to the Erased Tapes 10th anniversary box set 1+1=X; only to return to where he started, Loomis, and finally write and record The Transition as his first full-length statement in just one month.

With the release of The Transition, David Allred takes his place among the classic American songwriting tradition whilst revealing a peculiarity to his storytelling. Isolated and cut off from the outside world, David began unravelling his life and putting it on record. With a double bass in his bedroom and a piano in a church across the street, the stories started to unfold until a set of ten songs came to life. Vignettes and feelings from his own experiences, as well as characters he met along the way, inspired a rich tapestry of stories and melodies.

Winter will hopefully see David return to European shores in support of The Transition. Until then, this full length released November 2nd is the closest we can get to the curious mind of David Allred.
