They say Techno is for the maturer listener. The ageing raver. So this is Pelski trying to mature. Dusty Kid is, however, not techno through-and-through, but produces a diverse amalgam of electro, techno and minimal. Erol first drew our attention to him by dropping The Cat in his summer DJ sets, and then Crookers infused some wonky basslines into proceedings with their fun-loving remix (Dusty Kid – The Cat (Crookers Remix)).
Dusty Kid has been producing music since a fresh-faced tike: his first production was at age 10, 
and first signing at the blooming age of 19. He’s also tried his hands at remixing. His own material, however, remain his greatest achievements. His most accessible release is The Cat/The Kitten EP, released back in July 2007 on Southern Fried Records (home of Touche, CagedBaby, Armand Van Helden and Crookers). The Cat starts with a thrumming build up of bass, dum patterns and electronic bleeps, that, after two minutes, culminate in an almighty drop. The instrumentation stops and the vocoded vocals are released: ‘Every time/ every day/ and away. /Acid’. A quick drum combo, and the track drops almightily into whirring sirens and a momentous beat:

The Kitten is a bleepy, almost-minimal techno track that may not excite at first, but similar to the Cat, patiently works on a thrumming build up. Come the end, all the conflicting bleeping, bassing and booming are weaved together seamlessly. A very polished production indeed:
Dusty Kid’s upcoming release is ‘The Twister’/'Talake’ EP. The Twister’s filled with clanging and clanking home-made sounds. It’s an experimental track that verges on the over-pretentious, but manages to pull all the discord coherently together, once again. Talake may seem a monotonous fare, but still illustrates Dusty Kid’s ability at masterly production. Furthermore, his style is illustated as deeply atmospheric – here a brooding, dark tone:Manatrakoma, too, is minimal tech, that focuses heavily on atmosphere. Deep, squelching bass accompanies a foreign sample that sounds strangely familiar. Dusty Kid’s brilliant remix of Armand Van Helden sounds almost identical:
Dusty Kid’s track My Riot, was released on the Signals ’63 EP on Kling Klong record label. It patiently builds up a purring and vibrating of electronica, that relentlessly buzzes and reverbarates. It builds into a hectic, momentous whir. Simple but wholly effective:
(You will need a pair of decent speakers or headphones to appreciate these subtler sounds).
