In 2022 we commissioned two electronic artists to create new music reflecting on the legacy of Detroit electro-techno 90’s duo Drexciya. From June to September, All Trades (UK) and Prieste5s (Germany/USA) created an hour long set of new music, with guidance from both Abu QadimHaqq and KERRIE (Dark Machine Funk/Eastern Bloc Records).

The live performance from Drexciya Day 2022 at Eastern Bloc Records brings together each artist's unique production techniques, running Prieste5s's live coding software through All Trades's Eurorack modular rig.

Since the commission, All Trades and Prieste5s have continued to work together to turn the raw recordings into finished tracks.

Their four-track EP released both digitally and on vinyl via Interlock on 20 June 2023, available to buy now.
