Description
An experienced and versatile DJ if ever there is one, it was logical that his album takes in a wealth of influences from around the house and techno block and features some of his best musical friends and inspirations. From his _go to_ singer Lady Linn, to his musical friend and partner in FCL San Soda via Belgian stronghold Lefto, to his Detroit buddy Reggie Dokes: these are the people Red D has been working with and learning from for years on end.
The album features 12 new tracks and 3 tracks that appeared earlier on the E.P._s Red Basics 1&2 and 3&4. The music ranges from the dreamy beatless title track to the sleazy spoken word _Just Like Hercules_ up to the Larry Heard-inspired deepness _Compelled_ and including the melancholy of _The Larkin_ and the Lady Linn feature _22 Shoulders_, the latter scheduled as single for early October _22.
Locked down during the first months of the Covid 19 madness Red D had no more _I_m too busy to get into the studio_ excuses and all the inspiration gathered during the countless hours of DJ_ing and listening to records in the last 30 years simply poured out. Making track after track was daily (and nightly) business and after a while the idea of a full album simply came naturally. The next lockdowns were spent fine-tuning the tracks, coming up with lyrics and finalizing the tracklist.
The result is _Fantasize Then Realize_, Red D_s debut album and a testament to his sound and attitude.
