Press Release [DUR-R001] Brandon De Carlo - A Thousand Cuts Vol 1

D.U.R. Evolves Into The Physical World With Its First Vinyl Release  

With Downside Up’s inaugural, limited edition, color-vinyl release, A Thousand Cuts Vol 1, Brandon De Carlo (BDC) delivers a visceral slice of his sonic identity—raw, hypnotic, and deeply personal. The release features three carefully carved techno tracks, each pulsing with the refined tension and shadowy atmospheres that have come to define BDC's approach to dancefloor energy. Grit meets precision in these cuts, offering relentless rhythms, weighty textures, and moments of eerie stillness that echo long after the record stops spinning.

The closing track shifts gears, diving headfirst into experimental territory. It's a fractured, haunting piece that explores dissonance and space—a reflective counterpoint to the otherwise tightly coiled energy of the EP. This unexpected turn cements the series as not just a techno release, but a statement of artistic range and emotional complexity.

As the founder and creative force behind Downside Up Recordings, Brandon De Carlo continues to shape a label that thrives in the shadows of convention. D.U.R. is a platform for artists who operate on the fringes of techno D&B, house and experimental music, where texture, depth, and narrative take precedence over trend.

BDC’s A Thousand Cuts Vol. 1 bleeds intent, carving into the listener a sense of unease, catharsis, and transformation. A must-have for collectors of forward-thinking techno and boundary-pushing vinyl.
