- Besançon, France spacey disco /indie dance electronic musician, producer and remixer GUYD – “Year Zero” from V/A “Compilado Maleante Vol.4” on Maleante Records
French producer with a trippy and spacey dance number set up by hypnotic kicks and steady pulsing acidic, aquatic bass tones droning over airy, cutting beats, clicking whips and mechanical, swooshing hisses to pull the obsessive urgency of flashing circular synth chords into a 3D orbit around low buzzing frequencies, that push heady groovy expansions to the brink of subliminal dancing insanity.

Berlin-producer, Micropacer, deploys his sweeping, arpeggiated synth-driven sound through energetic waves of bouncing bass disco grooves swaying ceaselessly along droning, hypnotic beats, sparse tinkling cowbells, and anxious epic pulses of swirling bright synth chords, building striking 80s nuanced dimensions of dizzying bygone dancefloor nostalgia rife with addictive uplifting melodies.
