Title:	A Raver's Diary
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BOXER 070CD

This is the hotly-anticipated full-length debut release by Italy's Paolo Alberto Lodde aka Dusty Kid aka one-half of Duoteque. Do you still remember the moment when you first stepped into the warehouse, right into the fog, and into the churning eye of the dancefloor? Do you still remember the first bass drum, the first break, the first strobe flash? Dusty Kid does, and celebrates the club folklore of rave kitsch on Raver's Diary, for those who remember and for those who wish they did. This record wears its heart on its sleeve, without any minimal-technocratic business. The music he creates is great sound cinema, always direct and focused. "Here Comes Techno" and "The Underground Persistence" pushes the dancer right in the middle of the dancefloor, heading towards the first peak. The sound quickly turns into banging synth attacks and marching beats that end in the psychotic glissandi of "Lynchesque" and its high bass wave. "Klin," and its unexpected, flashing emotionality stops the free-fall, and almost unnoticeably shifts the direction of the whole album. "Cowboys," for example, used to be a B-side track, a kind of wallflower. On A Raver's Diary, it has become a secret hit: a smooth, magnetic organ fest with a catchy bass that will kick you off your chair. The spherical sequencer techno of "Moto Perputuo" pays homage to the great melodies of the past which have been pimped up with an incomparable and innovative bass design. "The Fugue" is Dusty Kid's approach to weirdo instrumental pop music, and "Pluk" and "America," too, do not shy away from any productive risk: the first is a tribalist club smasher, the bone-breaker from the fog; the latter is a melancholic magnum opus, and even the hardest raver will be stunned by its emotional power. "Agaphes" is a style-study in two parts, and "Nemur (Walls Of Guitars)" is the pop gem, the great techno chanson, and the best farewell you can imagine. A Raver's Diary is an album for any DJ: the perfect mix tape, the soundtrack to the ultimate party that everyone is talking about.

Title:	Argia
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 083EP

Dusty Kid presents an unusual acoustic near-death experience: Argia is the name of a spider indigenous to Sardegna. In Sardinian culture, there is a traditional dance that represents the various states of Argia poisoning, and it is used as an antidote against the spider bite. Dusty Kid comes up with a contemporary version: the slow-acting poison gradually builds up, creating hallucinating sound experiences until a trance and paralyzed state is reached. One-sided, limited, 180 gram vinyl.

Title:	Beyond That Hill
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	BOXER 085CD

Paolo Alberto aka Dusty Kid loves travelling, no matter whether it is a trip through his own sensuous spheres of experience (like on his solo debut album A Raver's Diary in 2009), or a real road movie. Beyond That Hill takes the straight bass drum out of the club and plants it on the roadside. Beats are rushing past like power poles, a fresh breeze is blowing in your face, both literally and figuratively, and in front of you there is nothing but the vast horizon, a shimmering dance of coordinates. Dusty Kid wanders through luscious, epic landscapes of sounds. Hence, it is not surprising that some of his tracks hit the 10-minute mark without being tiring or exhaustive. You will rather find yourself gliding above the sounds, yet still close enough to admire all the wonderful details, and high enough to get a good view. The sounds are far more than just pure metaphysical mumbling or a series of meaningless loops and effects. The opener "Nora Nights" already starts at a tight pace, yet with a well-defined and delicately-balanced structure and ambience. Every single second, every single sound bit is essential. On "Jknoussa," Dusty Kid first plays the Grand Canyon tourist at the coin slot telescope; then, in the 14-minute floor-hugger "Argia," he turns into the adventurous mountaineer climbing between the jagged rocks along the abyss, suspended between heaven and earth, yet absorbing both at the same time. A little break at the campfire offers "Chentu Mizas" and "Beyond That Hill" with a rhythm guitar that invokes the ancestors under the moonlight, and helps you to get mentally prepared for "Polybolo" -- the monster that drags the mountaineer into the abyss, and hits the dancefloor like an avalanche. Gone are the friendly and crackling nostalgic sounds where vocals and strings were exchanging soft cotton balls -- now, the time has come to start the survival training that every raver who calls himself professional should have passed in the acid shower. Constant knocking wears the stone: like the peak bagger who finds himself awe-struck by the earth's elemental forces, "Polybolo" reveals the pure longing, the archaic natural forces, only by means of pure synthetic tools. But soon after, the traveller gets his guitar back from "Cheyenne," peaceful and organic, but still pushing, thanks to precise footwork and a superbly-arranged frequency spectrum. And finally, "That Hug" pulls out all the stops again to sensibly recapitulate the way the audience has travelled so far. With grand gesture and universal aspiration, this unique and unforgettable trip comes to an end. And once again, Dusty Kid proves that he is the master of the album format. An ideal mix tape for some, highly imaginative cinema for others, but the result is always the same: it is a story to dance to, a road musical for adventurous people.

Title:	Polybolo
Label:	BOXER RECORDINGS (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	BOXER 086EP

"Polybolo" is a monster that drags you into the abyss and hits the dancefloor like an avalanche. Dusty Kid starts the survival training that every raver who calls himself professional should have passed in the acid shower. "Polybolo" reveals the pure longing of archaic natural forces only by means of pure synthetic tools. And in case you are not such a hard-raving member of society, you will find your satisfaction in Popof's stripped-down monster groove remix of "Argia" on the flipside.

Title:	Tsunamy/Milk
Label:	SYSTEMATIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	SYST 034EP

You may know Alberto Lodde alias Dusty Kid from his productions under the name Duoteque. With five EPs under the Boxer imprint, Alberto and his partner Andrea Ferlin have caused a massive stir in techno land. However, now it is time for Alberto to walk a solo path. "Tsunamy" has to be handled with care as this can damage dancefloors with its explosive sawtooth bassline peak time action. "Milk" is the complete opposite -- a very sensitive and atmospheric groover in the tradition of Border Community.
