"Dennis Desantis was born in Warren, Michigan in 1973 and was raised in Sterling Heights. His early musical influences included jazz, funk, classical, and roots electronica (Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, etc.). After college, and several years of playing drums in rock and funk bands, Desantis now lives in Rochester, NY where he is a graduate student at the Eastman School Of Music. Beside his house productions he is active as a composer of contemporary concert music, a percussionist, and as an organizer & producer of concerts and multimedia events with the organizations Ossia/Alarm Will Sound and the Minimum Security Composers Collective. With his debut 12" 'Deviant' Dennis Desantis has returned to his roots in the minimal electronic sounds of Detroit, drawing inspiration from such artists as Theorem, Maurizio, Richie Hawtin, Aril Brikha, and Kenny Larkin."

Title:	Clock Wise
Label:	K20 RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00

"Dennis Desantis was born in 1973 in Warren, Michigan to parents who were semi-professional musicians with diverse and eclectic listening tastes. He serves as a performer and administrator with the group Alarm Will Sound, with whom he has recorded the music of Steve Reich for Nonesuch and Cantaloupe Records. Meanwhile, by the spring of 2001, Dennis had produced enough finished techno to feel comfortable about letting it be heard. Almost immediately after circulating some of these tracks online, he began receiving offers from DJs and independent labels. He eventually signed with the Kanzleramt sub-label k2o, who released his debut 12" 'Deviant' (k2o13) in January of 2002. Selling out almost immediately, 'Deviant' has garnered rave reviews from De-Bug and Groove and has appeared in the sets of such luminaries as Dan Bell and Laurent Garnier followed by the even more successful 'Promotion Of Vice' 12inch. Clock Wise -- possibly the most emotional techno/house debut album ever -- features the most diverse stylistic elements of it´s genre all together compiled in sweetest perfection of harmony."
