https://delphicirisrecords.bandcamp.com/album/di-001-the-moat-remixes

A bit of info about the release...

"The elusive Hackney basement dweller Alpha Delta colloquially known as Alpha D drops his debut single “The Moat” as the very first The headline single inspired by a faithful rave session in Croatia where Alpha D was simultaneously emotionally touched, scarred and sonically pummelled by kick drums at a wild and stormy Dimensions Festival.
This dark techno beast was the aggressive, distorted acid offspring of that faithful night raving between the mud and tears of the crowd at the formidable Moat stage at Punta Christo.
Complementing the original mix Drox chimes in with a low end electro breakbeat bass bin rattler for us that delves into melancholic and psychedelic 303 territory.
Critical Automator then takes us on a deep and elegant techno journey transcending both murky seas and lush hazy skies in his dub mix. Definitely dialled back from the OG mix but there is no shortage of kick drum energy in this one.
For the final remix 16 Faces cooks up complex drum work and funk driven baselines in a hybrid 146 bpm number that’s a just a touch rave, grime and idm in his 5am mix. The off beat stabs and euphoric strings are plentiful, more than enough to get your through any wobbly kneed sunrise.

New Release: Nightime Drama Presents Submersion

3/25/2022

New dubby V/A release of all Australian Artists via Nightime Drama out today! including a track from my Drox project.

A mainstay of Sydney's techno and electro scene for more than twenty years, Drox has earned the respect and love of fans and has carved out an imposing yet super humble etching on the local scene.

Drox’s DJing style can be described as heavily influenced by electro, raw machine music, industrial and bass music in all its many forms. His sound embodies a spontaneous charm that nods to early 90s Detroit machine music, rich IDM sounds, and dystopian sci-fi tones.

In 2023 Drox has launched a new vinyl label: Delphic Iris in collaboration with Berlin based 16 Faces, as an outlet for their productions launched in both Berlin, London and Sydney.
Instagram | msha.ke

His intelligent approach has led to him playing at some of Sydney and Australia's most well-respected clubs/events, both as a headliner and as a support act for international artists such as Hieroglyphic Being, Buzz Kull, Assembler Code and Reptant among others.

He has also received international recognition, Playing in Berlin and London along with providing mixes for Serotonin Records in New York, Dark Science Electro in Colorado, Hjärngymnastik in Sweden, and Cyber Domain in the UK/Germany.

Other stops on his musical travels have included Melbourne, Brisbane, and a livestream for The Advent’s techno-club.net virtual club.

Drox is an accomplished producer, his tracks have earned praise from Vince Watson, Iron Curtis, DJ Bone and Neville Watson for his productions along with with releases on Datadisk, Natural Expressions, Nightime Drama, Crobot Muzik and his Analog Cabin label among others.

He has been invited to lecture on at the Australian Institute of Music and the Analog Cabin recording studio has been featured in Audio Technology Magazine, Red Bull and the German-language SynMag synthesizer magazine.
