Badge Of Honor vinyl

Terrence Dixon lives up to his billing as Detroit's premiere enigma with a new album on Nick Dunton's Surface Ltd label issued with the minimum of fanfare. Given the way in which Dixon's sublime Tresor long player from 2012 was announced, such tactics should be expected. Badge Of Honor arrives at the end of another prolific year for Dixon, who has ploughed his creative juices into the reduction label he started as an outlet for Population One material and issued records for Sino, Monique Musique, Polytone Recordings and Surface. This fifteen track set was apparently over a year in the making and is described by the label as "raw, all-encompassing techno cuts alongside some choice left-field experiments". As the tracklisting suggests, Dixon has fully embraced Surface's nautical aesthetic whilst the music is steadfastly Detroit techno delivered with his own distinct vision.
