Lansing-Dreiden's MMVI incarnation has recruited producer Dazzle D to readdress its The Dividing Island, released by Kemado in May. The concept multimedia troupe will self-release Dazzle's Island adventure, coined D.I. by D.D., on November 20. D.D. developed roughly 30 new beats for L-D, the best of which made their way onto the CD.

In other news, select images from the D.I. Collection-- which are pretty much chopped'n'screwed portraits of rain-worn statues and stonework-- are still on display at New York City's Rivington Arms gallery, as part of the "What Once Was One" exhibit, which runs through November 22.
