Rising star Chris Aldrich is a fresh and major player to Seattle’s vibrant techno scene. After his highly successful debut “Pet the Ceiling” on From 0-1 records, and with his active contributions as writer, producer and DJ we were inspired to have him contribute. Final mix down and production assistance was provided by Keith Kelley. Our buddy Chris a.k.a. Crtl Alt Dlt delivered a driving rhythmic interpretation of the First Birds of Morning.
