Ditties from the White Lodge (2020 Remaster)
This is the first ever release on U-TRAX, also one of the rare records that features U-TRAX label boss DJ White Delight as a producer.
The tracks of this sought-after release have been remastered and made available in digital form for the first time ever. The original vinyl release listed the tracks as performed by different artists, with corny names like The Happy Clappies and Jack The Knife vs. Henry The Fork.
Hyperkinetic is an old track that depicts a day in the life of an hyperactive kid, before Ritalin become en vogue. The rhythm is based on a silly dance that one of White Delight's university professors used to make and it's mostly a study that resulted in Highperspectiv. It's just an 808, a 303 and three samples, but it came out rather trancey. High on chocolate Easter eggs and tea, DJ's White Delight and Zero One recorded this track live in the studio without having practiced once. It is known to subliminally push drivers to break the speed limit, so best not listen to this track while driving a car.
Perma Frost can do to your tweeters what Baby Ford did with woofers all over the world: destroy them. This track is meant to be cold and annoying by using a bass drum and other than that only (very) high tones. Even the 303 is used as an ice-machine by pitching it up.
O.D.M. is the producers' interpretation of a commercial dance-track. Highly inspired by contemporary swingthings from Chicago, they even used a 909! The result turned out to be a rather aggressive and bass-heavy tune that thumps the air out of the dancing crowd. To their delight, it was played by some of their heroes from Detroit and it inspired Richie Hawtin to make his Train-Tracs (as Fuse on Warp Records).
DJ White Delight never owned more than a Roland 808 drum computer, so he always had to rely on friends that did have a proper set of gear to record his ideas. This EP was entirely recorded with DJ Zero One, who by that time had released music on the famous Dutch techno label Djax Up-Beats under the names Zero Zone and Random XS (together with Arno Peeters, aka SP@sms).
White Delight himself was mostly known as a music journalist, writing for Holland's main dance magazine (at that time) Disco Dance, and several smaller publications. He was also part of Utrecht's Drome collective, writing for the magazine and running Drome Tapes, together with The Connection Machine and DJ Paradize. This cassette label was the prelude to U-TRAX.
Original release date: May 1993.
Re-mastered digital versions of the tracks are available for download and streaming on February 28, 2020.
