Detroit Underground. A split 12-inch with Red D on Reggie Dokes’ *Psychostasia Recordings*. “Between Worlds” explores a return to Africa, the deep world of synthesizers, and Black house music. “In The Sound” evokes a sense of respect for Underground Resistance. The details are wonderful—it sounds lo-fi but is actually quite meticulously crafted. We have it in stock.
Over 20 years of friendship and Reggie Dokes and Red D are still at it. Their first joint E.P. was released on Red D’s We Play House Recordings label and kicked off the label’s much-lauded U.S. Series. Moving back across the pond we now find Reggie and Bart sharing a release on Reggie’s legendary Psychostasia imprint.
On the A-side Reggie is bringing his trademark sound and taking it deeper than ever. Moody melancholy paired with solid beats and drums to take you into deep house heaven. On the flip Red D brings his Detroit inspiration into deep and swinging techno territory reminding us of Scan 7 and the likes with a vocal that gives a respectful nod to an Underground Resistance classic. Can you get into the sound?

Reggie Dokes, a key figure in the Detroit house scene for over 20 years following in the footsteps of Theo Parrish and MOODYMANN, and RED D, founder of Belgium’s We Pla House—a friend since the label’s inception with whom he has collaborated numerous times—have released a new track under the moniker Rd², formed from their initials, via Psychostasia Recordings. “Between Worlds” meticulously paints a world with obscure electronic sounds, synths, basslines, and primitive, tribal machine beats. It represents a page in the history of African rhythms and electronic music—a history that has been explored and developed for nearly half a century. It’s a truly wonderful, immersive track. “In The Sound,” which evokes RED D’s respect for Underground Resistance, is also outstanding. The release includes a stamped label and an insert sheet with a message. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
