Drexciya, the technolectro formation from Detroit, are without a doubt one of the most influential acts in the electronic music scene. In 1992 they emerged for the first time and since then they have developed a true cult following. The basis for this idolization is a highly original musical output and an impenetrable smokescreen masking all information on the group and its activities.

Drexciya drains the claps, cowbells and tomtoms, siphons off the salsa from Electro. With the vocoder id deleted, 90s Electro becomes even more enthralling, even more inhibiting.
Each Drexicya EP -- from '92's Deep Sea Dweller, through Bubble Metropolis, Molecular Enhancement, Aquatic Invasion, The Unknown Aquazone, The Journey Home and Return of Drexciya to '97's Uncharted -- militarizes Parliament's 70s and Hendrix's 60s Atlantean aquatopias. Their underwater paradise is hydroterritorialized into a geopolitical subcontinent mapped through cartographic track titles: Positron Island, Danger Bay, The Red Hills of Lardossa, The Basalt Zone 4.977Z, The Invisible City, Dead Man's Reef, Vampire Island, Neon Falls, Bubble Metropolis.
However, within the final 7 storm releases, "Grava 4" ensured space was the next step towards infinite new depths.....

As you may or may not know Drexciya has many guises, heres who Drexciya also record as:

Abstract Thought, Arpanet, Der Zyklus, Dopplereffekt, Dr. Finn, Dr. Otto Henke, Elecktroids, Glass Domain, Japanese Telecom, Lab Rat XL, LAM, The Other People Place, Shifted Phases, Transllusion, Flexitone, X-Ternal Pulse, Ultradyne.
