Who are the voices of modern techno?According to Vincent Koreman, the Drvg Cvltvre producer and head of tape label New York Haunted, they are: the deep minimalism of Detroit's Terrence Dixon, the distorted modulations of LA-based Pete Swanson, the heady beats of Chicago's Hieroglyphic Being, and the snaky sequences of the Dutchman Koreman himself, who cites the four as "the unique voices of a techno generation" in his press release.New York Haunted announced today that it will assemble this Voltron-like supergroup for its first vinyl release. The Real Deal EP, out on February 23, is a four-track EP featuring original contributions from all four producers. The Real Deal traverses techno's harder side, with all the quartet bit clipping beats and overdriving whatever tones they can wrangle out of of their machines. If there needed to be a strong case for how dark and inventive techno can be, this record makes it.You can listen to samples from The Real Deal over at New York Haunted's distributor site, Clone.
