Drexciya

  / artists (D)
Real Name:James Marcel Stinson, Gerald Donald
Profile:Detroit electro-techno outfit Drexciya was conceived in 1989, but first came into the public eye in 1994 with "Aquatic Invasion" - the first of a thematic series of releases. Drexciya's James Stinson and Gerald Donald remained hidden behind their alias for much of the group's existence, communicating a complex personal mythology of a "Drexciyan" race of underwater dwellers descended from pregnant slave women thrown overboard during trans-Atlantic deportation. Within this fiction, their music - which they claimed was recorded "live in the studio" rather than programmed - was imagined as a "dimensional jumphole" between their black African roots and the contemporary USA.

Sadly Stinson died suddenly on 3rd September 2002 of a heart condition. Donald continues to produce music under other names.

SoulDancer, Aug 11, 2004

If you consider all the labels and artists made or influenced by Detroit (Tresor, F-Communications, Luke Slater, Maurizio, Warp... to name a few), then you won't be surprised to discover that Drexciya is the underground wave that gathers the quality Techno universe. Every label with a Drexciya release on it is a good one, just have a look... UR, Rephlex, Warp, Clone, Kombination Research, Intuit-Solar, Gigolo Records, Hardwax... I'm one of the purists who think that Detroit stays the most innovative techno place, and this little list reinforce my idea.
