Electronic music act from the underwater kingdom of Drexciya, from the 'The Book of Drexciya - Volume One' (2019), a comic book by AbuQadim Haqq et al. In the book, Gerdon and Marcellus are introduced by King Drexaha as "The best musicians in our kingdom." They give a concert for the king and queen and all the tribes, clans and classes of Drexciya. The performance takes place inside The Great Music Concert Bubble of The Bubble Metropolis. On stage, Gerdon and Marcellus play white triangular keytars.
The concept of Drexciya was first conceived in musical form by Detroit techno musicians James Stinson and Gerald Donald AKA Drexciya. The underwater empire originated from water babies of captured women thrown overboard from ships in the era of the Transatlantic trade of enslaved people. Drexciya was founded in 1989 and started releasing music in 1994. The duo remained active until James Stindon's passing in 2002.
