His first album, "Earth Technologies", exploded onto the world and instantly became a top choice for trance conoisseurs and DJs all over the globe. Since then, David's live act has performed, and is scheduled to perform, all over Mexico and elsewhere in the globe from Japan to Brazil to the US and Canada as well as all over eastern and western Europe, not to mention his highly popular DJ sets. His performances and discography cross ties with all the greatest artists of recent years: Alien Project, Hux Flux, Sesto Sento, GMS, and so many more... In short, David Durst AKA D-Tek has established a reputation as an extraordinary producer and performer across the globe, and one can rest assured to expect nothing but some of the highest quality, top-notch heart pounding psytrance from his newest release, "Broken Disk"!

Track by Track:
Intro
Naked, atonal synth drones settle into the audiosphere with the grace and ease of a futuristic transport vessel. Slipping the mind out of its everyday state and into an ethereal zone, the intro to "Broken Disk" readies and foreshadows well an upcoming, untold hour-long psy-trance saga!
Reflections
The closing track in D-Tek's latest generation of musical creations is, if anything, gritty... and with bass as funky and pulsing as this, it just doesn't go wrong. The leads are detailed, abstract, and meticulously done, each sound placement obviously carefully considered. By the end, all the elements are slamming and warping enough to keep your body wiggles going beyond your mind's expectations!
World of Ilusions[/b]
Introducing itself with a heavily filtered bassline and insectile chirpings traveling to and fro, "World of Ilitions" is at first a sort of larval metamorphosis translated to sound... and what bursts forth is a cacophany of sickly malevolent psytrance guaranteed to put even the most stoic into motion. Masterfully placed synths along with a great, scale-jumping filtered bass create an environment fit for any outdoor dancefloor!
Always Choose Redial
Banal reality turned surreal and pulsating, staccato bass lay the foundations for this track. "Redial" seems to rise up from below like a slow-motion uppercut, picking up enough audio velocity along the way to keep the astronauts satisfied with the view! A dynamic and original breakbeat keeps things fresh and splits this track into distinct, segmented "feels", each one with their own vibrant musical energy.
[b]Broken Disk
This is the track the album is named after, and the tone of this track defines the whole album. This track is a piece of full-on psy-trance stomping madness! All the great elements are here... pitch-jumping bass, filtered psychedelic melodies which seem to travel about the track, and sweeping, echoed pads which seem to blossom from and return to nothingness. "Broken Disk" is masterfully engineered to be an assured hit, no matter how it's cut!
Axtek
At times minimal and others disco-psy, Axtek is a unique amalgamation of beat timing experimentations, jumpy, bumpy bassbeats on the threes and fours and squelchy acid squirts. The melodies are funky and happy, and the ebb and flow of noises and sounds build up tension, mitigated by synth-sweeping breakdowns at the end of the measures. Pure head-nodding four-on-the-floor goodness!
The Cave
Coming at you hard, pounding and relentless, don't let the first few moments fool you... the chilled, quasi-Gothic synthwork at the beginning is but an illusion for the monstrous bulldozer of a bassline that shows its true colors before long. Electropiano chords, echoing melodies, dribblings which hop about the background, synthesized trance brass and hard housey horns make this a great high-energy track fitting for indoor cave scenes or out.
Apple Talk (Live Mix)
D-Tek's live remix of "Apple Talk" presents itself on a slightly more elevated plane than its predecessors on this album, and the sound range from ultra techy to darkly inimical. Serrated, corrosive synth edges punctuate the audio atmosphere and build up tension before an impressive breakdown... D-Tek really mixes up his sounds here, and the resulting rearragenement returns chaos to the dancefloor... hope you stopped to catch your breath!
All Systems Go
D-Tek's "All Systems Go" kicks off this next set of tracks with a bang... at once high-energy, trancey, yet sinister and dissonant; a sort of "James Bond on acid" feel. For the old-schoolers, there are plenty of lasers and phasers, low-fi squelching voices and retro-delic synth stabs ready to bounce around your noggin. The bassline is as mountianous as an amusement park ride, all driven in sync to a relentless drum beat and intricate percussion fills.
Codes
"Codes" is a track with a decidedly darker turn. The punchy, growmling bass provides an undertow for panned metallic crashes lending feelings of spaciousness and speed. D-Tek throws some very original sounds into this mix, and his audio permutations are saturated with filters and effects. Nothing but red-eyed audio enjoyment here... D-Tek will leave you with your head above the clouds!
