about

Let’s not beat about the bush… it is with great pleasure that Death Proof Recordings introduces you to its first release… Hunter Vaughan’s ‘Krakken’. The young American has stepped up to the plate and given what we believe to be the epitome of Techfunk. It’s a resounding statement of what he’s capable of and what we, the label, are going to be bringing to the table. Suitably named after the mythological leviathan, this gargantuan effort slams home with a phrenetic onslaught of edgy, throbbing rhythms & beats and twisted samples spread and chopped as if finishing a Michelin star dish! Our reaction after hearing this at DPR alone suggests we know what this can do to a dancefloor… it owns it! And to ensure we made our statement clear, a remix package of the highest calibre was brought forward, bringing the shining lights of the underground and recent times to the table.

10 Rapid is synonymous to the Electro & Techno scenes as a raw, emotive, energetic producer and that’s exactly what he gave back to us in the shape of his remix : a throbbing, rawkous, bass-driven, ear pounder that will leave no dancefloor stood still! You don’t need to reach for no lazers either, it's laced with them!!

Then up stepped The Loops Of Fury; we can only imagine that these gentlemen have midi ports directly into their brains, because when productions of this calibre are thrown back your way, it seems they’re beyond what most producers can only strive for. Captivating, burgeoning, broken-electro-techno that only this Australian pair know how to conceive.

Hi!-Population needs no introduction, having dominated the electro & breaks scene for sometime, he was always high on the list to approach. His remix is typical of his production : serious electro dancefloor fodder! The wobble in the bassline and the click n popping beats will have everyone head-down-ass-up!

And last but not least, label mates The Omega Men. A question has to be asked, what were these men doing while making this? You could only assume it concerned a padded cell and some absinthe, as they’ve gone berserk on it, turning it into a frenzied, techno behemoth! Driving bass and a heaving drumline accompanied by feverish and furious synths.
