Acumen - Music For The Weekend - Past To Present

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

French DJ, label owner, producer and live act Acumen is back with a brand new EP featuring three more of his compelling club cuts. One is a solo joint and two are collaborations with Metodi Hristov and Miguel Lobo. 

Having put music out on Get Physical and Leena with the likes of Joris Voorn, Loco Dice and Laurent Garnier, Acumen is a very real player in the global club scene. This new release proves that once more and contains three essential house tracks that will get played far and wide. 

‘Never Trust Me’ is a loopy tech house number with fluffy hi hats and endlessly rolling drums that really suck you in. Some key vocals blurt out from the mix so it really stands out and the vibe overall is deep and lush. 

‘Don’t Say Maybe (Do It Baby)’ is a similarly soft edged, deep and inviting house roller with loopy drums and frictionless groove rotations that come embellished with all sorts of clever bass kills and filtered effects. 

Lastly, ‘New Sensation’ is a slightly more upbeat cut but again the bass is deep and loopy and falls up and down the scale pulling you with it. Haunting voices and organic percussion pepper the groove and close out what is a pure dance floor EP.

Acumen is back at home with 2 heavy banging house tracks. Two pure dancefloor killers with strong & delicious Chicago House influences.

------------ 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.

SABB and Acumen team up for a hot new single on the Time Has Changed label. Acumen, of course, is the boss of the label and is a long time French tastemaker who has put out many top EPs and LPs. Here he teams up with the talented SABB and together their sound is truly standout. Vakant label artist and tech house titan Mathias Kaden remixes.

Original cut The Way I Like It is six steamy minutes of deep and seductive house music with humid pads, romantic vibes and subtle vocals that really suck you in. It is expertly produced with a hypnotic groove underpinning it all and will really make for some tender and emotive moments on the floor.

The remix from Kaden is more bumpy and physical, with popping drums and silver percussive patterns run through by a frazzled lead synth. It is sweat inducing and fulsome and rounds out a fine new EP from the Time Has Changed crew.

ACUMEN & JOBE - Incontrolable - SELADOR 5 Years Birthday

French producer and DJ Acumen returns with his third and most innovative album to date, Brune. Titled after the latest addition to the Acumen family, Brune is the name of his baby daughter, which follows suit to previous albums, the first of which dedicated to his son, and the second to the girls and women he loves.

The eleven track collective sees the Frenchman welcome a host of guests, kicking off with Cari Golden who lays down a catchy and beautifully soulful vocal over a classic house groove and trippy melodic patterns and keys, ‘Made For Me’ is a track to show off the versatility of Acumen. ‘Hyphen’ takes things a bit deeper as a drone bass line whirs throughout, carrying you through monstrous highs and hands in the air inspiring drops.

Mattia Pompeo and Forrest are the next guests welcomed into the studio with ‘Prés De La Mer’ where reverb soaked vocals inspire you through the breakdowns and see you off into the sunset. The bpm drops to 100 with the title track ‘Brune’ in which has been somewhat uncharted territory for Acumen once again proving his ability to adapt and conquer. The progressive vibes return with ‘Lointain’, another track which delivers empowering melodic foundations to keep you propped through the late clubbing hours.

If previous tracks represent sunsets, then ‘Strictly Taboo’ is a shimmering rainbow of carefully selected chord progressions and raw synth work. ‘Strictly Taboo’ acts as the calm before the storm as the following ‘White Devil’ opts for eerie vocals throughout to keep you on your toes alongside harder kicks colder chords. Phonique joins Acumen for ‘The Magnificent Road’ bringing in dissonant melodic selections and an early 00’s French sound.

Marc DePulse’s collaboration ‘Dominate Me’ brings back the soaring build ups and minimalistic drops of perfect simplicity between kicks and bass. Acumen sees the album out riding solo with ‘Intime’ and ‘Take A Course’, the latter of which instilling a tech house groove to close the show.

Solitude

Acumen & Pontias - Solitude - Dario Dea  Remix (FREE)

Artist: Acumen
Title: Welcome Back
Label: Time Has Changed
Catalogue No: THCD048 
Release Date: 13th May

France’s Time Has Changed imprint has carved out its own niche in the deep house and tech scenes since starting in 2007, and now label co-boss Acumen steps up for a new EP that confirms it to be one of the freshest labels out there once again.  Acumen himself is still riding high of his debut album for the label last year, but returns with this Welcome Back EP in just as fine form. 

Things open with Deeper Than It Looks, a prowling, heavy weight wedge of house with growling basslines and some colour analogue melodies raining down its face. From there, Three Four Five seems charged with electricity and static as howling synths meander above a down low groove that kicks and slaps you into dancing action. 

Magic Garden then once again proves Acumen has a real grasp on and understanding of his studio with plenty of inviting textures and contrasting surfaces making up a colourful, spare track that speaks of a cosmic late night comedown. 

Finally, the beautifully titled Ellen, Steve & Michael are on a Boat explores more slightly angst-y tech house grooves, with laboured percussion trickling over a chugging bassline and some future facing synths lighting the whole thing up at various intervals. Another fine effort from the man they call Acumen and his label Time Has Changed.

Antoine Garcin, AKA Acumen, is perhaps one of the hardest working men in the music business, although not for the reasons you might expect. Juggling studio-time alongside a career in pharmacy and fatherhood is no easy task, but he’s risen to the challenge with previous releases on Get Physical, Diynamic and Upon You. It also hasn’t compromised on the quality of this latest release for leena music, the nubile younger sibling of the almighty mobilee. leena has been steadily dispensing underground house and techno gems for over half a decade now, with a strong ethos on nurturing new talent from label friends and family.

Having simmered away at the periphery for quite some time, it would be misguided to say that Acumen is a newcomer, having garnered support from the likes of Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier and Loco Dice over the years. He’s also proven himself as a proficient selector, with gigs ranging from Berlin’s Panorama Bar to Studio 80 in Amsterdam.

The EP’s title track goes in strong with a peaktime, tech-house march through bright, single-note chord blasts and a frantic rolling drumbeat that commands the listener to the nearest dancefloor. “Internal Jungle”, on the other hand, combines chunky, low-end grooves with melancholy vocal refrains snatched from the ether, all underpinned by thick, undulating slabs of warm analogue bass. The EP ends on a high with “The Bug”, whose effervescent filtered strings and warm plucks serve to induce a sense of languid euphoria, one which is amplified by a fantastic vocal performance from Ruede Hagelstein.

As promised yesterday, I share with you my first free song for listening and downloading. The first of all the following, because all my productions will now be free, and not release anywhere except my soundcloud.

I hope you like this concept and like this track.

It's a song with a pretty rough beat but a very melodious base.

Thank you for your comments and support.

Soon other tracks to come, very varied between techno, pop or even rock. Don't hesitate to share it if you like it. 


Keep the faith and love, help your loved one.

ACUMEN - STAY WITH US - LOCKDOWN 005

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.
