Sorry Records is over the moon to announce the first release since 2020 from Sweat Equity cofounder and our friend Alien D 👽 Four freaky new transmissions from Planet D mastered with love by Ali Berger and gloriously remixed by core sorry fam Drummy (Kindergarten Records) and west coast breakbeat legend Bassbin Twins who took two tracks and freaked em into a MEGAMIX 👅
I met Dan at Sustain-Release in 2018 and have been nipping at his heels ever since. His work with Brooklyn-based rave outfit Sweat Equity provided a blueprint for us early on and he was one of the first remixes we commissioned for Sorry Records. His music has moved us throughout the years too from countless solo releases to his work alongside Austin Peru of Vision Fortune on their collaborative experimental ambient leaning project Dekalb Works. Dan's a constant joy and thankfully consistent presence in both our lives and on the NYC dancefloor. He's also dirty at bowling.
Support by Nick León & Bitter Babe, WTCHCRFT, T.Wan, Lychee, boxofbox, and more. Ayesha played it at Nowadays with K-Lone and Facta and Jubilee opened her wild Boiler Room set from this year's Bass Coast festival with the Bassbin Twins mix and livwutang played Drummy's remix in a recent Eto Ano Lot Radio show.

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
