A DAT recording from the early ’90s that had remained unreleased has finally been released on vinyl! This is a rediscovery and reissue of a work by MUTANT VOLT, a pseudonym project of Swiss analog master DAN PIU. It explores the structure and electronic sounds of early trance, featuring a stripped-down, machine-driven sound. An album that fits perfectly into today’s “trance/electro revival” scene.
We’ve rescued 90s archive tracks from the DAT tapes of the charismatic DAN PIU—who continues to release music on labels like 〈CARTULIS MUSIC〉 and 〈OVNIE〉 and is currently active in his project “THEORY OF MOVEMENT” with GRANT, delivering top-notch tracks! Highlights include “Galapagos” (sample 1), a progressive-leaning track featuring organic-sounding drums, and “Danger Zone” (sample 2), a minimal, boomy track stripped down to the bare essentials—a quintessential BLEEP crossover sound that epitomizes DAN PIU’s style.
