Dox Records is the record label of Dox, based in Amsterdam.

Artists: Benjamin Herman, New Cool Collective, Reinier Baas and many more

Founded in 1997 by members of the band Sfeq, Dox was intended to provide an alternative musical resource in the music industry.

A fresh collaboration between two contemporaries in improvisation and composition, merging influences from diverse musical and sonic backgrounds. Computer sounds and textures played with various controllers come together with a vast selection of flutes and playing techniques to create an energetic flow of spontaneous ideas. Mark Alban Lotz and Korhan Erel generate a sparse and elegant atmosphere of surprise and tension as they communicate through tones, sounds, textures and noise.

The 'Yoruba Love Affair' started with the encounter between flutist Mark Alban Lotz and Master Bata drummer Javier Campos Martinez in 1996. The musical exchange ended up with three CD recordings - some of them at the ICAIC studios, Havana - featuring many household names among the cognoscenti of the Cuban Orisha music. Soon invitations to attend major music festivals such as The Percuba Festival in Havana and the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Netherlands followed.

Dario Fariello: alto sax
Eren İleri: turntable-triggered sax samples

The duo was born in summer 2009 in Istanbul. Eren İleri uses only prerecorded alto saxophone samples, and Dario plays with/under/on it. The dj plays rhythmically with this switch possibility: scratch and re-composition, superimposing voices.
After some concerts in Austria, Italy and Germany the sound bank evolved: they recorded long sounds made for scratching, wind sections, static soundscapes and multi-layer compositions.
