Caught somewhere between Berlin and Bondi, rolling techno and broken-machines, deepchild and Future Classic are proud to present the long-awaited “Departure (Droid_Musik)” - a collection of extended dancefloor cuts that is as pneumatically jackin’ and functional as it is deep and considered. In a release-schedule saturated in flourescence, “Departure” marks, a sonic departure to both tactile experience and visceral warmth - a type of communal experience best understood at 6am in a packed club someplace in the heart of Eastern Europe or Northern UK, where much of this album has taken shape. From the cobblestone-path rhythm opening “Nicoteen Fudge” to the tightly arpegiated mayhem of “Norwegian Calculus” (that’s a water jug sample, you know!), the album bears all the hallmarks of typically intriguing deepchild sound-design, newly-embraced techno-cred and nods to dubstep and deep electo. Video-game burbles, radio-static and bottomless analog bass provide the hand-mixed glue in an album of jacknifing beats, hyper-compressed oddity and a liberal dose of both late-night mirth and rolling experimentia. Anything goes. As long as it jacks. And this does jack. Indeed. This is the highly ideosyncratic deepchild “four-to-the-floor” collection we had to have. Direct, tweaked-out, functional and sweat-soaked, road-tested over 2 years of extensive touring and live shows at some of the worlds biggest festivals - from the massive dance-arena at Serbia’s EXIT Festival, to the madness of Berlin’s own legendary Panoramabar.
