REMY & Däcker - Live at BYSS (DIM-018) CD and digital download During the 2020 lockdown, Remy Stroomer (REMY) and Peter Dekker (Däcker) premiered their collaboration at Bas Broekhuis' BYSS studio. This album contains the registration of their improvised concert. https://www.desertedislandmusic.nl/...

From today the new Deserted Island Music label sampler is available from www.desertedislandmusic.nl and https://desertedislandmusic.bandcamp.com/

The "Past - Present - Future" compilation isn't actual anymore, as this was released in 2021, for the tenth anniversary of Deserted Island Music. Although we removed it from our Bandcamp and website, it will still remain in your collection if you obtained it.

For the largest part, the new sampler contains similar tracks from older releases, but some have been replaced, as well as the compilation has been complemented with brand new tracks from upcoming exciting new album releases.

Be sure to check it out, and spread the word!
Not in the first place because it's completely free, but also because there will be attached an anniversary-related discount code valid for the month July, redeemable for all Deserted Island Music titles from our website as well as all artists' Bandcamp pages.
As bonus, for a limited amount of new physical orders of 3 or more titles, we will add a free cd-r promo with excerpts from the new sampler.

So, here it is, resumed:

To highlight our label, and to get you acquainted with the music we have to offer, there is a compilation download album available from our webshop:

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟭 >>> 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 >>>

And… it is completely free!

Almost two and a half hours of some complete outtakes from our label’s releases, to give you the best listening experience possible.
Supplemented with some yet unreleased tracks for scheduled album releases.

Featuring electronic music by REMY, Mäläskä, Space Art, Planet of the Arps, Däcker, Feralia Planitia, Basic Principles, Synquentium and Martijn Comes.

On December 19th, 2020, Peter Dekker (aka Däcker) and I had our very first public appearance together.
On April 20th (which is already within three weeks) the concert registration sees the light as the "Live at BYSS" album release.

Pre-orders are open from:
Deserted Island Music: www.desertedislandmusic.nl
Bandcamp: https://remystroomer.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-byss
Groove Unlimited: https://www.groove.nl/shop/remy-dacker-live-at-byss/
Cue Records (Germany): https://www.cue-records.com/A-Z-Kuenstler/R/Remy/-12487.html

The album will be presented, and is available to purchase, at the sold out E-Live 2024 Festival in Eindhoven.

𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗨𝗦 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖
Because there was recorded quite some interesting music during the rehearsal sessions for this concert, Peter suggested it would be nice to have an additional bonus disc for anyone who pre-orders the "Live at BYSS album release.
So we have added the 'limited edition' to the Deserted Island Music webshop (www.desertedislandmusic.nl) as well as Bandcamp (https://remystroomer.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-byss) for only 2 additional euros. And Groove Unlimited as well as Cue Records might as well be supplied with this bonus disc.
Please note that this option has just been added, so customers who had already pre-ordered a physical copy will automaticall receive the bonus disc with their order.

During the pandemic, Bas Broekhuis invited musicians at his BYSS music studio.
Artists including Kontroll-Raum, Ron Boots, Skoulaman and René van der Wouden entered the small stage to perform their music for a large audience through a live video stream. Which was the only way to reach listeners in times of worldwide lockdown.
Also Remy Stroomer (REMY) and Peter Dekker (Däcker) got the opportunity to premier their collaboration at BYSS. This album contains the registration of their improvised concert.

I made a new mix, edited the music to fit on a CD, and Wouter Bessels did the mastering.
Currently, the album is at the pressing plant, and should be available on April 20th.

I am wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous, healthy and musical 2024!

I would like to thank all of you who supported Deserted Island Music and my own music and activities in 2023, family, friends and colleagues.
We had new album releases by Space Art, Däcker and myself, which found their way to you - the listener, radio hosts, and reviewers. Thanks so much for dedicating your precious time to it.

Frustratingly I can't always do the things in a way I would like to do it best, also due to work, my private life, etc., but with more plans for new album releases and perhaps some concerts, I hope to continue and share my musical world and extend my record label's journey with you and the rest of the world within the years to come!

Many thanks, and hope to see you all next year again.
Take care!

Musical greetings,

Remy Stroomer
