about

From the Depths started life as a commission by Manchester-based music development charity, Brighter Sound, to celebrate the legacy of Detroit electro-techno duo Drexciya, and reflect on transatlantic exchange in club music and culture.

Following an open call for artists, in July 2022 All Trades (UK) and Prieste5s (USA) were selected to take part. Over the summer months they collaborated remotely to produce new music, with mentoring from AbuQadim Haqq, one of the original visualizers of the Drexciyan saga and the visual artist responsible for the artwork of some of the earliest Detroit techno pioneers such as Underground Resistance and Transmat. In late August 2022, All Trades and Prieste5s met in person to finalise ideas in the studio, with guidance from techno producer and label owner KERRIE, prior to a live performance at Eastern Bloc Records on 3 September (Drexciya Day) 2022.

Since the commission, All Trades and Prieste5s have continued to work together to turn the raw recordings into finished tracks. The artists will join forces once again in Manchester for a commemorative show at Eastern Bloc Records on 10 November 2023, with a special guest appearance by AbuQadim Haqq.

The live performance brings together each producer’s unique production techniques, running Prieste5s’s live coding software through All Trades’s Eurorack modular rig. The tracks on the EP are a product of the unique pairing of these techniques, a distinct approach to sound design coupled with serious bassweight.

The artists, and Interlock, make their first statement of 2023.

All dubplate purchases come with an exclusive A3 print on 250gsm silk paper, designed specifically for From The Depths by AbuQdim Haqq. The artwork was designed at the beginning of the project in 2022, to serve as artistic stimulus for All Trades & Prieste5s to create sounds. The artists involved felt that the piece of art now deserves to be shared with a wider audience, so we have decided to use this as the cover art for the EP, and made it available with the physical purchase.
