vl musik was probably DMH's first electronic music project. created in the early '80s, the 8-basic tracks of this project were made using the casio vl-tone synth. seen as a toy by many, the vl-tone has shown up on countless dance hits, and is produced here before MIDI came on the scene. now, using modern tech, vl-musik is reborn as a serious EP dance project

cat has caught the eye: this track conjures up the feeling of hangin' out at a hip disco in '82 on a saturday night, where sex, drugs and lots of "goin's on" are in the air. it tugs at the emotions of being trust into the middle of "the beautiful people" crowd... and all the good, bad and the ugly feelings that comes with being new to the "in" scene.

the following is an excerpt from the original 1982 analog track:

rain: the last of the 4 songs on "vl musik". the song's subject is a combination of my remembrances of Berlin in '76, the head of RIAS (a tall, grey-haired man), my partner Dan and my recent times in Berlin. I tried writing the lyrics in a near "alpha-state", a technique that I've been reading about... and it worked. Did the whole lyrics in 15 minutes!
