VEX / DMO

A1 Vex - Vex-1
A2 Dmo - Fifteen
B1 Dmo - Movement



When techno veteran Dave 'Function' Sumner relaunched his Infrastructure New York label earlier this year he promised new music alongside "a healthy serving of reissue packages and licenses". Three releases into the new era and we get a first taste of their archival intention as two of Sumner's dormant aliases from the late '90s are revisited in the shape of VEX and DMO. Entitled simply VEX/DMO, this 12? features three tracks originally released in 1998 and 1999. According to the label, the original pressing of the 12? featuring the "Fifteen" and "Movement" tracks made by Sumner as DMO was one of the biggest selling 12?s at famed East Village record store Dancetrax during that time, and the reissue's three tracks all show Sumner's little-seen house music side. The record also acts as a teaser for a wider compilation revolving around Function called Recompiled, which will be released towards the end of the year.
