Downside Up Recordings Announces BDC's  “A Thousand Cuts Vol 2” — Featuring New Music with Techno Icon Joey Beltram

Limited Edition Vinyl • Mastered at Hardgroove Mastering (UK) • Pressed at Onyx Press (CA)

Downside Up Recordings proudly announces “A Thousand Cuts Vol 2” , the label’s third vinyl release and its most ambitious to date. Continuing the imprint’s focus on high-quality, limited-edition techno vinyl, “A Thousand Cuts Vol 2” brings together contemporary minimalism and legacy energy in a release designed for collectors, selectors, and purists alike.

The record was mastered by Paul Mac at Hardgroove Mastering (UK), ensuring maximum weight, clarity, and club translation, and pressed at the legendary Onyx Press in Arcadia, California, known for its consistency and premium manufacturing standards. Every detail of “A Thousand Cuts Vol 2” has been handled with intention—from audio fidelity to physical presentation—underscoring Downside Up Recordings’ commitment to craftsmanship over quantity.

For collectors outside North America, LIMITED black vinyl copies are SOLD OUT at Juno.co.uk https://www.juno.co.uk/search/?q%5Ball%5D%5B%5D=brandon+de+carlo&hide_forthcoming=0. HOWEVER, a LIMITED Hi-Melt Blue/White Swirl edition will be available exclusively via Bandcamp and downsideuprecordings.com (best pricing via our bundles here).

Reflecting on the release, label founder Brandon De Carlo shared:

“Joey Beltram is one of the artists who helped define the sound and spirit of techno as we know it. To have him involved on this release is a true honor for us as a label. “A Thousand Cuts Vol 2” represents everything we stand for—respect for the roots, forward-thinking music, and vinyl done properly. We couldn’t be more proud of this one.”

With pressing quantities kept intentionally low and demand already building, “A Thousand Cuts Vol 2” is expected to sell out quickly. This release marks a significant milestone for Downside Up Recordings as it continues to bridge generations of techno through thoughtfully curated, collector-grade vinyl releases.
