 Swiss-born Deetron aka Sam Geiser unveils his debut album ‘Twisted’ on Belgium’s esteemed Music Man imprint. As proven by his constantly expanding catalogue of productions, Deetron is capable of creating tracks that sit happily within the context of a DJ set (something he understands very well), whilst avoiding landing in the often throwaway category of ‘DJ Tools’. Combining Sam’s love of house, classic techno, electro, latin and jazz influences, ‘Twisted’ is a beautiful journey through an electronic landscape littered with orchestral sweeps, delicate pads, sublime Robert Owens-esque vocals, dancefloor beats and heart tugging strings.
Featuring guest appearances from Subject Detroit’s DJ Bone, LA based singer Ovasoul 7, vocalist and guitarist Justin Chapman, who is also one-half of the Atlanta-based DJ/production duo KemeticJust and the one and only Paris The Black Fu from the Detroit Grand Pubahs ‘Twisted’ is a dancefloor journey from beginning to end. From the opening bass rumble of ‘Twisted Memories’ to the old school Chicago vox stylings of ‘Life Soundtrack’ and the Drexciyan wiggle of ‘Isotope’ to the demented refrains of ‘The Afterlife’, Deetron shows us that techno can still conjure moments of beauty whilst still keeping us on the dancefloor. - 'The Afterlife' will be used on the forthcoming SVEN VÄTH compilation "Sound of the 7th Season Cocoon Ibiza"! - Laurent Garnier: this is an absolutely stunning album, i've been hammering 3 or 4 tracks of it every night i play. Full support from me! - Funk D'Void: fucking amazing. We're from the same school of music, he's always been top of the class!! Love the whole LP! - Ame: Twisted is really a cool album... But "I cling" is a killer! Play it a lot! TRACKLISTING 01. Twisted Memories 6:19 02. Life Soundtrack feat. Dj Bone 6:08 03. Mr Smooth 6:04 04. Isotope (Album Version) 5:42 05. I Cling feat.
