With so many different moods in today's confusing world, how can the modern listener keep up with the demands of non-stop peak audio performance? Deluxe Mood is the answer.
The first release on the new Deluxe Mood label, featuring 3 tracks of lo-fi destined to appeal to afficionados of disjointed hihats and slowly mutating sub-bass electronics.
Production duo Dark Network emerged from a series of semi-conspiratorial electronic projects through the 1990s with their 2003 album Late Set, released through Clan Analogue Recordings.
They've been frequent contributors to vinyl and CD projects over the years (on imprints such as Clan Analogue, Klub Kooky and Stoner Classix) and appeared live at various underground venues.
Side A is the result of one such live appearance - a rare archival live set recorded at Sydney's Klub Kooky in 2000, improvised on an array of aging analogue machinery.

In March 2010, this deeply swung 12" from reclusive analogue synthers Clone will be released exclusively through Deluxe Mood. Bo Daley from Dark Network and Kate Crawford from B(if)tek produce slow-building, dub-inflected electronics with an array of decaying synthesisers. Together they also run the Night Picnic parties in Sydney. Pre-order this solo 12" to avoid shock and numbing disappointment.
