Drexciya - Hydro Doorways

Review by Roh Malur

Drexciya's Hydro Doorways is an album that takes the listener on a journey through the depths of the ocean. The Detroit-based duo, made up of James Stinson and Gerald Donald, are known for their unique blend of techno and electro, and this album is no exception.

The album starts off with the track "Under Sea Disturbances," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its deep, pulsating beats and eerie soundscapes. The track "Polymono Plexusgel" is a standout, with its driving bassline and futuristic sound effects.

One of the highlights of the album is the track "Digital Tsunami," which features a spoken-word sample about the dangers of technology over a relentless beat. It's a haunting and thought-provoking track that showcases Drexciya's ability to mix social commentary with their music.

About Drexciya

Detroit electro-techno outfit Drexciya was conceived in 1989, but first came into the public eye in 1994 with "Aquatic Invasion" - the first of a thematic series of releases. Drexciya's James Stinson and Gerald Donald remained hidden behind their alias for much of the group's existence, communicating a complex personal mythology of a "Drexciyan" race of underwater dwellers descended from pregnant slave women thrown overboard during trans-Atlantic deportation. Within this fiction, their music - which they claimed was recorded "live in the studio" rather than programmed - was imagined as a "dimensional jumphole" between their black African roots and the contemporary USA. Sadly Stinson died suddenly on 3rd September 2002 of a heart condition. Donald continues to produce music under other names.
