DVS NME - Dehydration

Live video performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6oVRwcp7eE&lc=UgxG_jmkwJ8pXz-gWI94AaABAg&ab_channel=DVSNME A lazy Sunday afternoon in the studio today lead me to do a DVS NME version of my favorite Drexciya song of all time! I had just finished listening to 'The Quest' over breakfast and so it was really fresh in my mind. So when I stepped in front of the Arp Odyssey, I ended up making the bass sound that drives my version of the track. This song has always perfectly encapsulated what James and Donald's music means to me. So mysterious, funky, soulful, catchy, intriguing, and just so goddamn good. I didn't love everything they ever did but this song is just one of those tracks that reminds me why I love Electro music. It ranks, in my mind, as just important as Kraftwerk's 'Numbers' or Afrika Bambaataa's 'Planet Rock'. Absolutely timeless music that makes me feel inspired. All that having been said, I chose not to change the song much from the original structure because of how much simply adore it. This is my version of Drexciya's 'Dehydration'. Stay deep, stay pressurized.
