France’s I Hate Models has had a phenomenal rise since his first releases in 2016, now he arrives on Perc Trax to serve up the label’s last release of 2018.
Already fitting in with the label’s no-nonsense aesthetic after appearances at a number of label showcases this year, this EP shows a hardening of his sound, without losing any of the melodic touches that have made his releases so memorable.
Dense & Pika launched their imprint Kneaded Pains back in 2014, with a focus on “a shared love of bullish and brazen techno.” Since then acts such as Truncate, VONDA7 and Billy Turner have all offered work through the labels, with the label bosses contributing also of course.
It is the label bosses themselves who join up with label regulars Melody’s Enemy for an epic collaboration called From Nothing, due out this month. To top it off, Perc takes it to another level with his trademark harder, more streamlined take on the original.
Think we got some well-deserved rest after COMPOUND 2017 closed its doors at 7am? Think again!
We rolled with Perc to the Rave Curious podcast, where he sat down for an interesting conversation about his secret to surviving in the tough world of techno—from loosing records in distributor liquidations (three times in 13 years) to playing packed clubs one weekend and half empty rooms the next.
For years the minds behind INCOGNITO, WORK by 6AM, Dirty Epic Productions and Synthetik Minds have been working to forward the underground techno and house music scenes in our home of Los Angeles and beyond.
We have always believed that collaboration unites the creative voices of multiple equal partners who share a common vision and mission to create something that is bigger than the sum of its parts.
It is through years of such collaborative efforts that the four brands now unite their passion and efforts to present COMPOUND 2017 in LA, beginning with our launch event on November 11th, 2017. The lineup hand-picked for COMPOUND’s first outing is one that exudes techno from every pore, calling on the talents of four separate international artists from around the world for a cohesive experience of relentless techno that hopes to be the beginning of a new era for the genre in the vibrant city of Los Angeles. Perc Trax founder and boss Perc will be playing his last U.S. set of 2017 with us, joined by a special Live performance by none other than the enigmatic yet pragmatic Headless Horseman. Joining them are Los Angeles’ very own Modularz boss Developer as well as local support by dela moontribe will be making her techno debut with a set that will draw influences from her long-term passion for the genre.
This will be a special 21+ outdoor day-into-night techno event complete with full production, professional four-point sound system, food trucks, craft beer and more. Needless to say an event of this kind deserves the adequate experience to come with it, which is why we have tapped into the internationally-renowned skills of VJ Fader for visuals.
