a new vinyl label…
Summer 2016
Mpls Exchange and DJ DUKE presents… Pleasure Dome
Return to the Pleasure Dome EP
Featuring remixes from Adesse Versions and Jack Complex

Minneapolis Exchange is hysterically pleased and honored to put out the first of many special releases. Minneapolis Exchange is a vinyl record label based in Minneapolis, featuring exchanges with artists from around the world yet each release will feature a Minneapolis based artist in some shape or form.

For MPLSX001 We bring the first release from DJ DUKE’s Pleasure Dome project in 20 years.

When Minneapolis Exchange reached out to DJ Duke I figured it would be a crap shoot, something impossible… Little did I know that Duke would be more than happy to bring his Pleasure Dome project out of hiatus. Needless to say, we were beyond happy and there may have even been a happy dance or two in there because doing a release with Duke was nothing short of a dream come true.

DJ Duke played a seminal role in house music all through the 90’s and continues to this day with surprise pieces of wax that continue to be just as in demand as his now classic cuts. Duke provides you with two amazing tracks, Wild Dreams and 7 min of Wild Techfunk… both are sure to be future classics.

In addition to the two originals Duke is accompanied by rising star Adesse Versions’ remix of Wild Dreams, a stompy rendition that is an ode to the dance floor. A real killer.

The release ends off with a rework of both tracks into something new,  the rework comes care of Minneapolis team Jack Complex a future fixture to the label.

Rather than bore you the details of the music in text, we invite you to take a listen for yourselves and let the music do the talking.

Vinyl out summer 2016 followed by exclusive digital release by the fall of 2016 featuring a digital exclusive remix of 7 min of WildTechfunk by Minneapolis’s own Jeff Swiff!

This next release in the Exchange line we teamed up with Minneapolis label Open Exchange to bring you something very special.
For years, Minneapolis and Detroit have had a very special connection. We decided to bring two artists to tell a tale of the two cities.
Three amazing tracks from Detroit's house maestro Javonntte (Traxx Underground, Quintessentials, Lets Play House, Defected) and two tracks from Minneapolis's own Lowry boys (aka Aaron Bliss of Havens & Hart and Open Exchange's ACG) with a special little DJ tool thrown in for fun! To top it off we pulled in the genius himself to mix down and remaster the tracks Mr. Kevin Gorman aka Adesse Versions at Versions Mastering for that extra umff!
