The metamorphism continues in downtown Los Angeles – from an underdeveloped urban landscape to a thriving metropolis with a flourishing underground music scene.
Arising from this transformation is Deep Tech Los Angeles (DTLA) – a collective of underground house producers from Los Angeles, all striving to build a grassroots movement of music, radio and events.
Established by Jason Trevor Miller aka Redux Saints/Placebo eFx, the first US graduate of the Toolroom Academy master program, his aim was to provide a medium for LA-based producers to be heard through organizing Deep Tech Los Angeles compilations.
DTLA Vol. 2 peaked at #1 across all genres, as well as taking #7 overall Beatport albums. Volume 1 and 2 gained massive support such as Mark Knight, Friend Within, Walker and Royce, Sirus Hood, Riva Star and Henry Saiz as well as others. Krafted Underground brings you the third installment looking to reach new milestones with impressive new comers to the collective.
DTLA Vol. 3; released on Krafted Underground, showcases the deep, techy and progressive sounds that DTLA stands for. Featuring tracks from some of LA underground scene stalwarts Trent Cantrelle, Modus, Redux Saints, Shanto, Contessa, 28mm, Thomas Garcia, and newcomers to the collective Arthur Galestain, JOELY, Placebo eFx, Blak Trash, and Echubeat.
Since DTLA Volume one was released, Deep Tech Los Angeles has residencies at Sunday Sanctuary, Station1640, and The Globe Theater.
We caught up with Jason Trevor Miller in occasion for the release for a deep and techy conversation about the project and where it’s heading.
