Deep Tech Los Angeles Records

A metamorphism is taking place in downtown Los Angeles – from an underdeveloped urban landscape to a thriving metropolis with a flourishing electronic music scene.

Arising from this transformation is Deep Tech Los Angeles (DTLA) - a new collective of underground house producers from Los Angeles, all striving to build a grassroots movement of music and events.

Established by Redux Saints, the first US graduate of the Toolroom Academy programme, his aim was to connect artists via a series of 'listening sessions' where producers could give feedback to each other. The project rapidly evolved into a compilation album of exclusive new and original material.

DTLA Volume 1 - released on Krafted Underground, - showcases the deep, techy and progressive sounds that DTLA stands for. Featuring tracks from LA scene stalwarts JJ Flores, Mr. Bootsauce, Lok N Key, Redux Saints, Shanto, Contessa, Andy Slate, P-LASK alongside newcomers 28mm and Thomas Garcia.

DTLA will also encompass nationwide and international events – but it's fitting that the launch party is in the hometown of Los Angeles. JJ Flores, Redux Saints, Mr. Bootsauce, Thomas Garcia and Shanto & Contessa will be playing at the infamous Sunday Sanctuary to launch this exciting new brand.
