DEC is the guise of detroit producer/writer Neil Ollivera. Neil has released an album on the UK Ferox label called "Soundtrack 313" as well as a few limited 12"s on his own Detroit Escalator Co label. Currently DEC is working on a new album called "Black Buildings." Neil sent me some of the new tracks and i've been playing them on the inaudible show for a month or so. If you like the mellower works of John Beltran, Carl Craig, Derrick May, Sean Deason, and Plastikman then you'll love the stuff by DEC. Neil has also written a futuristic novel called "Reality Slap."
