Move D, Dman - All You Can Tweak (2022)

Astonishingly, 28 years have now passed since Heidelberg heroes Move D and D-Man delivered their first two collaborative EPs ('Homework' parts one and two). They've remained occasional collaborators ever since, as 'All You Can Tweak' proves. The surprise album contains some material recorded as far back as 1994, but also cuts they've laid down at different points across the decades. It is, of course, a spectacular collection that draws on their mutual love of star-gazing Motor City techno and sci-fi seeped deep house. Highlights are plentiful, from the alien-sounding late-night dancefloor psychedelia of 'Colon Ize', space-drift '90s tech-house purism of 'All You Can Beat', to the tactile, early Larry Heard and UK bleep-influenced excellence of 'Wired To The Mothership 2021' and the sunrise-ready shuffle of 'Luvbyrds'.
