[thekida]

For Immediate Release – Disco D compiles his best Ghettotech work with Return to Olive St. – Best of the Old Ish Vol. 1

For the first time ever on full-length CD and paid download, newly multi-platinum urban producer Disco D compiles 16 of his best-known underground solo Ghettotech tracks and recently discovered but never released gems on Return to Olive St. – Best of the Old Ish Vol. 1. Since debuting on the Detroit rave DJ scene in 1996 at the tender age of 16 and releasing his first vinyl EP the day before his high school graduation, D has been making heads turn around the world. Return to Olive St. is a fascinating musical look at tracks that helped develop both an underground subculture of music and a hit-making producer with credits including 50 Cent, Nina Sky, Sara Stokes and new Def Jam artist Tiearra Marie.

For those not yet in the know, Ghettotech is Detroit’s version of Go-Go music – making waves on the airwaves within the city limits but only holding a manic but smaller underground core set of fans beyond that. Musically, it’s an urban hybrid of Detroit techno and electro, Chicago booty house and Miami Bass. D once described it as “Uncle Luke, Parliament and Kraftwerk in a blender.” D should know – his contribution both to the establishment and promotion of the genre is undeniable. He released his first 12” EP at 17 and opened his first vinyl-only label at 19, issuing many tracks that have become staples of the Detroit scene and beyond. Both Urb and Mixer hailed him as a “prodigy” and Details Magazine described him as “a phenom, blowing away DJs nearly twice his age.” In 2001 he appeared on the cover of XLR8R Magazine and was named one of the “Top 100 Artists of 2001” by Alternative Press – all with never having a full-length album out.

Named after the street in Ypsilanti, MI where Disco D built his chops via near-legendary house party sets, Return to Olive St. – Best of the Old Ish Vol. 1 is the quintessential primer to what D’s musical mind was working on before he shifted his production focus to a more mainstream look. The 16-song set includes the Detroit mixshow classics Where They At (1998) and You Need Another Drink (1999); raw mixtape records Work That (2001) and I’m A Ho 2K1 (2001); and vinyl-only instrumental cuts like Incomprehensible Representation of Self (1999), Subterranean Mode (1999) and Back 2 Basics (2001 p). Also included are D’s first forays into combining Ghettotech with rappers – teaming with Detroit’s Paradime on Detroit Zoo (2000); Helluva and Lola Damone on Keys To The Whip (2003); and Helluva again on Peon (2003). Dug out of the vault are the previously unheard Bass On Pluto (2002), Electro-Orchid (2002), and Hahn Solo (2002).

Don’t be the last to catch up on your Disco D history before his next jam hits the airwaves – Return to Olive St. – Best of the Old Ish Vol 1. drops at the upcoming Disco Depot web store on http://www.discod.com and on Disco Digital via the Apple iTunes Music Store and Beatport (http://www.beatport.com) April 19th.
