From New Jersey via The Netherlands: longstanding US craftsman Joey Anderson makes his debut on Deeptrax with his inspiring new album Exotic Sequence

His fourth LP to date, Exotic Sequence is a fully instrumental deep dive into both Joeys machines and mindset, as he explains himself The title Exotic Sequence stood out to me because throughout the LP I tended to use a sequencer for the main melody of most of the tracks. Almost every time I approach a track with techno intentions it eventually ends up being deep / housey, states the artist who broke through 15 years ago on Qus Strength Music and has worked closely with the likes of Dekmantel and, more recently, Avenue 66.

Now at home on the relatively new and positively thriving label arm of Dutch record store institution Deeptrax, Joey tells us where hes at with a body of work that poignantly reminds us that its not the destination that counts; its the journey we endure to get there.

In this sense, Exotic Sequence is the sound of Joey letting his instruments guide, inform and inspire him. Cuts like the constantly rising and hopeful Sky Children, the deep 808 bubbles and dreamy reflections of Behind The Valley and the emotionally rich Stop are just a handful of examples of Joey being lost in deep flow, channeling the creative energy in his studio.

It lands exactly three years after his last album Rainbow Doll, neatly bookending the strangest and most surreal start to any decade weve lived through since house and techno culture took root in the 80s. A timeless document that looks forward and back and remains unhurried, thoughtful and crafted with longevity, Exotic Sequence is arguably the most honest and frank side to Joey Anderson weve heard in his extensive career so far.
