R.O.D

I am very happy to present my new mix to you. Certainly one of the most achieved and especially the one that suits me the best musically. From electro rock with Boys Noyz, Hot since 82 vs Miss Kittin, the delicious voice of Billie Eilish for an impeccable edit.

But also the talent of certain producers not known enough for my taste like Ivory, Gheist, or Dubspeeka. Of course there are some idols and friends like Maceo Plex and his terrific Cinemax, techno rock by Thomas Gandey. 

Also an old Diynamic, label of Solomun who also closes this mix with the actor Jamie Foxx remixed by the maestro Moodyman. It's a label I signed in 2008 !! wow time flies.

There is also my last track made with my son Numa, which will soon take over.

I hope you will like and share it. Antoine

The Thrill of It imprint continues to go from strength to strength, and now Time Has Changed label co-boss Acumen steps up for a new EP that once again confirms he is a modern great. As well as two original tracks, remixes come from Jules & Moss and Lee van Dowski and Dean Demanuele.

Opener Diagonal is a melodic, moody tech house cut with great vocals, sombre chords and magical synth patterns that are truly spiritual. The other original Thrill is a darker, more intricate techno leaning cut with the muffled sound of voices adding an air of tribalism to proceedings. 
Remixing Diagonal is Jules & Moss and they flip the track into a sinewy, skewed bit of late night house with a classic vocal sample treated in special ways. As the track unfolds all sorts of deep space drama does too and it’s a fine track as a result.

Last up is a remix of Thrill from Cadenza and Mobilee man Lee van Dowski with his partner in crime Dean Demanuele. The resulting track is a rolling, loopy bit of tech house with moody synths and slick metal drums. It will surely soar on Ibiza terraces as the summer draws to a close and is another massive release for this label.

Phonique joins forces with Acumen for the 
latest slice of deep, emotional house music on 
the irrepressible label. 
Acumen, the multi-talented Frenchman who 
also runs the renowned the Time Has Chan-
ged imprint, brings his trademark fair for melo-
dic inventiveness to Phonique's dance-foor 
edge - and the results are exceptional. 
The Moment features Boot Slap on vocal 
duties, and dives deep into the underground 
party vibe - a sick groove that grows into a fully 
euphoric late night foor destroyer.

------------ Acumen - My Girls -----------------

French DJ, label owner, producer and live act Acumen is back with a brand new album entitled 'My Girls'. Written over six months locked in his studio, it features eleven tracks produced “with my heart and soul” and shows his wide set of skills and great depth of ideas as well featuring fine guests like Dave Seaman, Lopazz and Betoko.

Having put music out on Get Physical and Mobilee with the likes of Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice and Laurent Garnier all counting themselves as fans, Acumen is a very real player in the global club scene. He runs his own Time Has Changed label and as a live performer cooks up intoxicating house sound tracks that are made on the fly and showcases his wide musical taste.

Things kick off with the mid tempo title track featuring Lopazz. It is a an electric cut with great synths and rubbery drums sucking you right in. From there things get deep and moody on ‘Lea,’ whilst ‘Suddenly’ is more upbeat and dance floor aligned with its slick claps and emotive vocal cries.

‘Quota’ again drops into deep and warm house territory with darkened drums, sombre pads and shiny synths all making for a spooky sound world. ‘Already Gone’ shows a love for rolling main room house with its whirring cords and squelchy drums, then the angelic, emotive ‘Interlude For Sophie’ makes a thoughtful section of the album that is pregnant with sadness.

Hot talent Bekoto makes an appearance on ‘Guest House’, which is a colourful, trippy and synth heavy tech cut that will send fists skyward on the dance floor, ‘Just An Illusion’ is a prickly roller with hot chord stabs and magic melodies and as well as the upright jack of ‘Tatoune’, Dave Seaman then guests on ‘Ines’, a monstrous track that has robust drums and fat synths all working you into a lather. Lush outro ‘Miloune' then brings you back down to earth with a sci-fi feel and rounds out what is a truly journeying album.

Ibiza Global Radio - Einmusika Radio Show by Einmusik Mixed By Acumen

Acumen has long been making house music that keeps DJs playing great music and keeps dancers moving and grooving. He is a French producer who runs his own Time Has Changed label and after his fine recent full length album is back in action with a great new EP that features a remix from Rafael Cerato.

Non Sense kicks us off with seven minutes of deep, resonant house that has creepy vocals and angelic pads off in the distance. It is marching and moody and after it comes The Sanctuary. This one is a turbo charged deep space epic with wiry synths and cosmic melodies all whipping around a driving drum line.

Then comes a fine and majestic ten minute remix from Rafael Cerato that layers up rasping synths and glassy keys into something that really gets you going. It is a real highlight for any set and adds a great new angle to the original.

Last of all, Destino slips into a deeper groove, with emotive male vocals bringing a subtle sense of euphoria. This is expressive and fresh house music that really gets your hairs standing on end.

ACUMEN & JOBE - Incontrolable - SELADOR 5 Years Birthday

After a quiet long musical break, and some really happy family news (two children), Acumen is back in force with his first album.
On this long format, Antoine Garcin shows us his different personal loves of electronic music. “My Super Hero” start with a really intimate exercise, “On my way”, a track between slow techno and electronica, dark, subtle, with a delicious voice, maybe his most emotive track ever. “Seulement toi” immediately remind us why Acumen quickly became 3 years ago an acclaimed producer : his deep house track is full of groove & energy, its looks simple, but everything is in a good order here, the bass, the melody, the snippets of voices… a great way to do the “less is more” in a deep house spirit.  

“Attitude” is one of the highlights of the album. This track goes on a more dark way, and moody, melodic, but never leave the dancefloor. Acumen remind here us why Richie Hawtin elected him “Best New Producer of 2009”…  

On others tracks, the French guy from Avignon goes deep and funky (“Summary” feat. Mz Sunday Luv), club and freaky (“La source des lutins”), and do also some great collaborations with the singer Zoe Xenia (“Compromise”, deep and sexy), with the dutch revelation ONNO (“Encore”), with his partner in crime Timid Boy (“Love hangover”, classical Chicago house track) and conclude with the Berliner – Upon You’s boss and Watergate’s Resident - Marco Resmann, with the beautifull, full of dreams and love “Add on”.

NEW EP OUT ON BEATPORT on GOLDEN FACTORY RECORDS
Presale: https://www.beatport.com/fr/release/immediumsys-theme/5436271

Acumen, Antoine Garcin, is a French Producer / DJ with a back catalogue stemming releases on the likes of Diynamic, Last Night On Earth, Suara, Selador, Get Physical and his own Time Has Changed imprint.

Born a Parisian, but now living in his home of Avignon, Acumen has been making music since the 2000’s as a self taught artist with every creation coming direct from the musical ear. Although self taught and with parents that weren’t musically interested, music has always been at the forefront of his life whether it be Rock or Electronic. The Clash played a huge roll in the early years before the electronic and house bug took a hold, with the likes of Depeche Mode acting as that stepping stone to what is now a fully fledged career path in electronic music. DJing was the first door to open alongside friends, however the creative aspect soon appealed to Acumen as he set his sights on the studio.

"I was very quickly fascinated by musical creation, by what a good, melodious piece could do to people. The ecstasy, the trance that can be instilled on a dance floor." - Acumen

Aside from music, Acumen prides himself as a family fan, which is apparent when looking across the album releases to date. The first of which, dedicated to his first born son ‘My Superhero’, was followed by ‘My Girls’ a full LP dedicated to the women in his family, both of which dropping on his own label of Time Has Changed. His secondary career is Pharmacy, one which demonstrates the professionalism of Acumen across industries, being able to balance an impressive musical career, full time business and family.

Time Has Changed was born in 2007 at a time when the balance between studies and a passion for music were at heads with one another. Now more than ten years later the label has flourished, releasing the likes of Oxia, Betoko, Alex Niggemann, Mihai Popoviciu and Barem, and is regarded as one of the key players within the French music scene, delivering dance floor bound tech house.

Over the years Acumen has got behind the decks in some of the worlds top venues, including the infamous Panorama Bar and Paris’ Rex Club. 

With a string of recent releases on Sasha’s Last Night On Earth and Selador all landing well within the Beatport Top 100, Acumen has now demonstrated his talent as an artist, creating a pathway which is certainly bound for the top. The third in a series of album releases is set for release later into 2018 and will once again showcase his versatility in the studio and is aptly named ‘Brune’ after his youngest daughter.
