Originally released in 1998, 'Deadpan Escapement' was the first collaboration between California techno artists Sutekh and Twerk. Establishing them as innovative, up-and-coming producers, the ten track double 12-inch combined pure sonic experimentation with dancefloor structures to create a new breed of deep, dark techno. Two years and many releases later, Sutekh (operator of Context) has revisited the project. After a rigorous selection process, ten internationally renowned artists representing all sides of the electronic music spectrum were granted the opportunity to bastardize and manipulate 'Deadpan Escapement'. The results range from glitchy noise to broken hip-hop to electro, techno, and everything in between.
