If you've ever had the feeling that things just don't make sense, that there's a hidden world of dark magic waiting in the dead spaces, the forgotten corners... well this is the music for you.

Dutchman Erik Griffioen's obsession with the esoteric is well known, and for some time his Lloyd Stellar alias has focused on this sense of the world just out of view.

Griffioen runs LDI Records as an outlet for his prolific creativity, but this release for Gated pulls from his early works, the tracks that almost got away.

This is one-strobe-in-a-dark-room electro, which rides the fine line that exists somewhere between euphoria and madness. It's relentlessly underground. And we love it.

Gated Record Label for a variety of good music.

I started DJ-ing in 2002 after going to parties thrown by Simplicity, a collective of DJs who threw House and Techno parties in Brixton, south west London. Ivan, James and Sam from Simplicity turned me on to an incredible scene and I will never forget them. Simplicity taught me that clubs in London may be open till 7am and they might have multi-million pound sound systems, but the DIY ethic still thrives; going to a club is fun but it's so much better to do it your own way.
Around 2002 I started going to Peg parties - Jane Fitz's legendary parties thrown not just in London but all over the UK and France. Jane has a no-nonsense approach to music and her Peg parties are the best times I have ever had as a DJ. 
In 2008 I emigrated to Canada, I now host Open Dex on the third Saturday of the month at the Anza Club in Vancouver.
