Drexciya
by Sean CooperAlthough they released only five EPs in their first ten years recording together, controversial Detroit techno duo Drexciya became one of the most celebrated and influential names in American experimental techno. One of the few groups to use techno as a political tool in effecting criticism of racial inequity and inner-city recovery, Drexciya brought a wider social and aesthetic agenda to a style in which allegiance to the beat is typically the only prerequisite. Closely associated with the Mad Mike Banks label group Underground Resistance and operating in the classically covert tradition of faceless techno (the pairs identities remain a mystery), the groups reputation at the bleeding edge of Detroit-school experimentation is pretty much universal, with everyone from Jeff Mills to Mike Paradinas getting in namechecks. Despite their steadfastly underground attitude, Drexs records have found release through such internationally renowned labels as Warp and Rephlex. Offering an often relentless fusion of early electro and techno with elements of acid and industrial music, Drexciyas fast-beat backbone and tough-as-nails rhythmic bite are among the most austere and uncompromised in contemporary techno. Reportedly, the group record their material live, which gives much of their music (particularly their Shockwave and Underground Resistance releases) a vital, immediate feel. Much of their UR output was collected on 1997s The Quest, and a full-length (Neptunes Lair) followed on Tresor in 1999. Continuing with their underwater gimmick, the heavy-handed concept album Harnessed the Storm became the first in a series of storm records to come from the group. Releasing three more under different names (Transllusions Opening of the Cerebral Gate, Shifted Phases The Cosmic Memoirs of the Late Great Rupert J. Rosinthorpe, and the Other People Places Lifestyles of the Laptop Cafe), the group left a massive collection of music for their fans by the end of 2002.
