Bass, tech and… Detroit: a review of Dehko’s album “Tektroit Vol. 2”

April 17, 20253 min read

When I first saw the name Tektroit Vol. 2, I had to pause. What exactly is “Tektroit”? Turns out, it’s exactly what it sounds like: a gritty, bass-heavy mix of Detroit rap and EDM, created by none other than Dehko. And with this second volume, he’s pushing the concept even further, blending street heat with festival energy in a way that feels both forward-thinking and true to its roots.

This isn’t just some one-off idea anymore. It’s turning into a real movement. With names like Tay B, B Free, KrispyLife Kidd, Young Roc, Payroll Giovanni, and more, Tektroit Vol. 2 is stacked with heavy hitters. It’s bold, unpredictable, and shows Dehko is fully in control of the sound he’s shaping.

The productions are gritty and relentless. You get dark synths, crunchy basslines, and drops that slam. This isn’t beachside EDM. It’s more like an underground warehouse party that somehow landed in the heart of Detroit.

Let’s get into a few of the standouts:

Lambo Money (feat. Audi Money)
86/100

This one’s my favorite. I hadn’t heard Audi Money before, but damn! His voice has this hypnotic quality. Almost laid-back, but still sharp. He floats over the beat like it’s second nature. And the production? Dehko absolutely locks it in here. It’s sleek, intense, and cinematic. You can feel the speed, the flex, the threat. Pure energy.

Messi (feat. Tay B)
86/100

Straight into bass house vibes. Tay B adapts perfectly, and the rhythm just doesn’t quit. There’s this tension building in the verses, and then the drop comes in smooth but heavy. The title fits, it’s confident and precise, like it knows it’s gonna hit. This one’s made for a festival stage with smoke and strobe lights going off.

B Mine (feat. B Free)
85/100

This one’s a curveball, in the best way. Funky, playful, and full of personality. B Free brings a relaxed, almost flirtatious energy, and Dehko backs it up with a groove that leans into retro synths and bounce. It’s the kind of track you didn’t know you needed until it’s stuck in your head. It still fits the project, but from a different angle.

At the heart of it, Tektroit Vol. 2 feels like a statement. Dehko is building something new. EDM with edge. Rap with a rave pulse. And all of it grounded in the spirit of Detroit.

If you’re into heavy beats, raw verses, and music that actually takes risks, this one’s worth your time. Dehko’s onto something big.
