Jeff Derringer in Full Force With EP and Positive Energy

/in /by

Since 2010, Jeff Derringer has released his unique brand of techno on such high-powered labels as Electric Deluxe, Soma, and Perc Trax, while touring the world behind his sound. His Oktave events have been a staple of Chicago’s Smartbar for the last dozen years, and have helped build a resurgence in the Windy City’s techno scene.

In 2018, Jeff went on medical hiatus and soon found himself in the ambiguous swamp of the Covid pandemic. After passing through the gauntlet of the last four years undaunted, Jeff has returned with an exciting new direction. The three tracks on Automatic are no-nonsense shots across the bow, built for club devastation; fast-paced, analog-steeped beats made, as Jeff describes it, with as little equipment as possible. Jeff’s Automatic EP is the fifth release on the label Oktave Records, a label that started in 2017 as an offshoot of Jeff Derringer’s long-running event series at Chicago’s Smartbar nightclub.
