DNDM is fresh and inovative collaboration project between Danielle Nicole and Derek Marin.
Growing up in New York, Danielle was first influenced by techno music in the late 90's during a legendary era when dance music and club culture were rampant in New York City. Nightclubs like the Tunnel, Limelight and Sound Factory spawned an inspiration that she could not ignore and she decided to translate her fifteen years of classical music theory and performance training into djing and producing and was immediately recognized as a forceful new talent in the industry. Known for her unique minimalistic take on techno, Danielle's presence as an artist cannot be ignored. Intense bass and dark animated synths are sprinkled with percussive detail and idiosyncratic sounds. She first introduced her sound to New York club goers at venues like Cielo, Sullivan Room, Love and Pacha before spreading her musicality globally. By now, she has engaged techno lovers in cities all over the United States, Central & South America, the Middle East and Europe. Despite a hectic calendar, Danielle is insistent about making time in the studio. Since releasing her first EP in 2008, she has released records on various labels including Little Helpers, Fantastic Friends, What Now Becomes, Thoughtless Music, Draft, Sullivan Room Records, NOSI Music, Klectik, Tulipa Recordings, Frequenza and Minitec Series. Danielle has remixed and collaborated with top techno artists including Someone Else, Matt Star, Dilo, Pablo Denegri, Alland Byallo, Jonny Cruz and Francesco Assenza.
Marin has been a staple of underground music for over 21 years & is one of the hardest working human beings in Techno. His productions are heading into the 1000s.
Derek has performed & collaborated with some of the biggest artists in the electronic music world like Andrew Fletcher of Depeche Mode, Mr. C, Alexi Delano, Carl Craig & Adultnapper just for starters.
Here is but a fraction of the great labels that Mr. Marin is associated with: Plastic City, Thoughtless, Superfreq, Get Physical, Little Helpers, Hidden, Fade, Surface, Thema, Siesta and many many more. Derek also produces under the monikers Sideview, Platonik, Modest D & others. In 2004, he established his own imprints Faucet Music & Like Button plus heads Subtrak Records. Keep a sharp eye out for Derek Marin's continuing onslaught of releases and his unbelievable live sets.

After serving up an excellent album on the label, Jori Hulkkonen’s ‘Oh But I Am’ now gets remixed by a crack team of expert beatmakers as selected by the on point My Favorite Robot label bosses.

Jori’s original album was full of moving melodies and succulent synth layers and was perfect to be picked apart and reimagined for different dance floors. First to do so are Musumeci & Lehar who tackle ‘Waiting Is All We Have.’ The pair has worked together before on cuts for labels like Connoisseur and have a weekly show on Ibiza Global Radio. Their brain soothing track is a patient, magically melodic one with low swaying bass, tooting arps and dreamy vocals that melt right into the background in expert fashion.

French pair Villanova tackle ‘Four Step Program’ with typical élan, as you would expect of the Cocoon, Loveyeah and MFRR affiliated producers. In their hands it is a synthetic bit of delicate minimal techno with a feathery light percussive scattering. Echoing vocals add soul to the deep space drones and this one is sure to send people wild in the dead of night in some tiny back room. Mexicans Balcazar & Sordo (hotly tipped by Maceo Plex, who also releases their music) then link to remix ‘Quick to Judge, Slow to Execute’ into a gorgeously
fat deep house roller with hypnotic synths meandering over the perfectly drum line. Holding you in suspense throughout, it is another cultured late night club cut that is full of rich sound
design and original ideas.

Camea, the long time minimal techno goddess and label boss at Clink who also releases on BPitch Control, gets dark and abstract on her circling and spookily desolate remix of ‘It’s Taken Too Long’. A final and excellent hurrah is from UK act and Eskimo Twins member Heretic, who has been on an atmospheric acid tip when working solo in the last few years.
His interpretation of ‘Songs of the Eastern World’ is a laid back jaunt through the galaxies with cosmic patterns and twinkling melodies all making for an ambient opening before a cold
boom-bap and slow machine gun bassline add real drive.

This is a fantastic package that covers many different bases with real class from all concerned.

Jori Hulkkonen - It's Taken Too Long (Camea Remix)

A decade on from his debut release, one of Romania's finest cultural exports returns to his favourite stomping ground with a trans- mission that showcases variety, technical skill and an intimate understanding of the dynamics of the floor.

The stripped-down, moody menace of 'The Swindle' kicks things off, dancing semi- quavers panning left and right, a mysterious male voice incanting. A bass synth motif carries the tune to a climax before its buoyant, trancey conclusion. At all times, elements unfold organically, carrying the listener away.

'Rotate' casts a busier, jacking vibe, its analogue synth cycles pinging against each other. Glimmering layers of sound create an endlessly immersive, deadly deep groove.

'Feed Me' is slower, slinkier and rougher in equal measure. The sustained synths create a gliding sensation, the male vocal first mellifluous and sung then husky and spoken.

'Chance' is a shuffling, fizzing deep house groove, precision-tooled for the dance- floor. "Let it take control" urges a male voice. Sound advice for this deliciously hypnotic groove.

Aphrohead’s first full-length album, Resurrection, in over decade has recently been released, one of the standout tracks ‘Grown Man Cryy’ sees a single release complete with a superb Carl Craig ‘Brainy Grimlin’ rework.

A heavy Detroit influence can be heard in the Aphrohead classic ‘Grown Man Cryy’, fittingly reworked by the master of the techno scene Carl Craig into a pulsating anthem suspended in time. The original cut (as put into words by DJ Mag) acts to “remind the world of the depths of talent and personality that made Aphrohead such a perennial force previously.”

Aphrohead created a precedent in 90's techno on halcyon labels Bush, Global Cuts, Power Music, Thee Black Label & Radical Fear. His Felix Da Housecat alias went on to form the epicentre of the electro-clash scene and it was through this alias his friendship began with Crosstown Rebels pioneer Damian Lazarus, then at City Rockers. Carl Craig is a key player in Detroit’s techno sound, recently releasing ‘The KMS remixes’ and consistently delivering on his own Planet E label. He began recording at the turn of the 1990's, using a number of aliases to release innovative ambient, techno, breakbeat and future jazz sounds including BFC, Psyche, Paperclip People, 69, Designer Music and Innerzone Orchestra. He is also the co-creator and artistic director for the widely successful Detroit Electronic Music Festival.

On July 4, 2015, The Brooklyn Mirage debuted its very first event: The Cityfox Experience. Tale of Us closed the outdoors at midnight and thousands of revelers shifted indoors, including into the Kings Hall where Dory (@djd0ry) launched into and delivered a set that's such a burner, upon finishing she was met with a minute-long ovation from an all too appreciative audience.

Gregorythme takes the A-side. The story about the planet 'UmmO', 14.6 light years away from the earth, is mysterious and nebulous. Just like the track: full of fantastic moments, intensive and spherical. )+(
