There was something in the music, something which made sense. It pulsated and echoed between his hears, reverberating and bouncing with promise and intent. Is this the way it had always been? Was this what others had experienced and yet he had never been able to find? Now as he moved in time with the scattered drums, the wayward percussion and the bygone rhythm, he began to feel as one. 

Dan Curtin has been an ever present figure in electronic music, a producer whose music has been adored and collected over decades. His label, Metamorphic, is now back. A much loved imprint has been given a new lease of life and a new EP from Nico Lahs helps to set the scene. This one comes with high recommendations.

D&S is a collaboration between two Dutch producers Dennis Pors and Stephan de Bruijn that share their love for Detroit Techno

They know each other through their musical perspectives and share a similar taste for music. 

Before they work together, Dennis was more interested in making deep house and work with digital synths which gave him some experience with logic.

Stephan was well known with the detroit techno scene and has a true love for this music, especially music that is balanced with hypnotizing emotional feeling to it combined with atmospheres and a groove.

Soon enough they switched to analog gear to create a more cleaner en better sound. After three years of hard work, they have reached the sound they were looking for.

They have their Debut D&S - Desolation EP released on Arts and already supported by many artists like: 
Gutkind, Unbalance, Nihad Tule, Axel Karakasis, Marco Bailey, Stephanie Sykes, Adam Beyer, Jay Clarke, SLV, Jamie Haus, Dax J, Sound Lab Magazine, Chris Liebing, Synthek, 2000 and One, Charles Fenckler, DJ Hyperactive, Angel Molina, Binny, Audio Injection/Truncate, Astronomical Telegram, DJ 3000, Gareth Wild, Mark August, Linos, Alexander Kowalski, Krenzlin(Tresor Berlin), SHLTR, Sam Paganini, Ilario Alicante, Regen, Tim Xavier, Keith Carnal, Hd Substance, Takaaki Itoh and many more !!!
