Detroit’s dancefloor demolitionist, Comfort Cure, is back with a brand new single and cassette release, “I’m the Drug.” The cassette also contains the new song “Lows” and a new version of “Hands of Stone” along with three remixes of “I’m the Drug” on the b-side. Compared to previous Comfort Cure releases, these new tracks focus on a more synth-pop and dancefloor oriented sound. The three remixes on the B-side consist of a relentless EBM remix by NYC’s Nuxx Vomica, a hard hitting club remix from Kansas City’s Moon 17, and a skeletal minimal synth rework by Atlanta’s Anticipation.
Toward the end of 2022, always with a finger on the drum-machine pulse of the EBM underground, the DKA collective heard rumors of a new artist crushing dance floors. A mysterious gentleman from Detroit, Michigan was blowing minds and turning heads with a series of singles filled to the brim with heavy sludge and mutoid funk. DKA was soon tasked with finding the man behind Comfort Cure and has now arranged to release Design International on cassette in 2023. Design International builds on the strengths of his previous releases but finds Tyler Baker/Comfort Cure sharpening his hooks and polishing his production for crystal clear destruction of the dance floor. The A-side features four new tracks of futuristic body music. While four remixes make up the B-side, finding DKA’s own Semantix on remix duty alongside Ye Gods/Antoni Maiovvi and Broodfaye. Make sure you add this one to your collection because we have a feeling it’s going to sell fast! |
