Not content with releasing the best contemporary “Detroit” techno, Dutch artists are now unleashing work from their archives that demonstrates that they‘ve always had a flair for electronic music at its most emotive and soulful. 154 initiated the trend, dropping the Strike LP-produced during Dutch techno‘s early ‘90s first wave-at the tail-end of 2004. Painless, the creation of duo Jeroen Brandjes and Natasja Hagemeier, was put together during the same period for release on Planet E, but the record never hit the racks. Thankfully, Texan imprint Downlow has ensured that it finally will-great news for all concerned.
