Deas, aka “analogue gear freak”, is the owner of a Bauhaus-inspired label called Bau Muzik. A multitalented artist, curator, performer and self-confessed ‘machine freak’, who has released records for such labels as CLR, Planet Rhythm, and Dynamic Reflection. His tracks are often tested on live audiences by top figures in the techno scene, including Richie Hawtin, Daria Kolosova, Chris Liebing and Luke Slater.
This future anthem (Geeks On Hubbard feat. DJ Rush) is an organic, unplanned spontanous creative action – it’s a story charged with friendship, emotion and love of music that we love the underground so much for. Deas has been working on new music and one of the new tracks was almost ready. But there was still something missing…
“I was mulling over it for hours, when suddenly I had a real flashback in my head. I decided to reach for the beloved Chicago classic track by DJ Rush and use his vocal samples, which have always captivated me so much. I remember sitting in the backstage of the Crackhouse club in Gdansk with a resident of the club Cranz (Kysh Records), and playing and discussing the classic techno tracks that inspired us. “Freaks on Hubbard” was definitely one of them!” recalls Deas. “The vocal samples from a Chicago track that came out in 1998 on the UK label Pro-Jex Recordings were just perfect for my song while paying respect to the original. From the start, I knew it had to be an official release and not a bootleg, so I decided to send it to DJ Rush accordingly, with whom I played together a couple of times and who often supports my music. The response came almost immediately: I had the artist’s permission!“
