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.

Acumen - Internal Jungle - Leena030

Klimaks is back and re-launched with a new and more defined sound. 
Klimaks is still deep but more techy, techno and "tracky". 

This 2nd release is 4-track EP is from Italian top producer Pirupa.
Techy beats and irresistable grooves captivates the sound of this EP.
Form the festival action on “Bangosax” and deeper and more small room action on “Sir Techno”. Should be a little something for everyone here.

Vinyls are already in the shops. 
Digital release is not untill end of July.

ACUMEN mix february 2013

First extract of the Acumen next ep...
Artist: Acumen
Title: Welcome Back
Label: Time Has Changed
Catalogue No: THCD048 
Release Date: 6 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. 


Tracklisting:
1) Deeper Than It Looks
2) Three Four Five
3) Magic Garden
4) Ellen, Steve & Michael are on a Boat

Together again. Coyu and Edu Imbernon, the hottest spanish producers join their forces again to make another enormous EP. They know the summer is coming so they ended up with a track that was made to play with the sun shining over our heads. “Open Air” is a track that will refresh your mind, pure Tech-House coming from the mediterranean sea. Although the remix is coming from cold german's lands, and after their great success with Imprint of Pleasure, Tube&Berger have manage to edit a fresh cut that perfectly complements the original one. Without any doubt is the best EP to start the summer with. It's hot!

Kiki (BPitch Control)
Don´t Kill My Vibe is perfect, sun soaked tribalism!


Kosovan Sabb and Spaniard Cuartero are a pair of producers who have not only their own respected discographies, but who have also been turning heads with their collaborative works on labels like Noir Music. The result of that partnership spawned tracks like “Don’t You Know” which Moon Harbour boss Matthias Tanzmann has not been afraid of playing plenty of times this year, and as such he welcomes the pair to his label for their first release, Don’t Kill My Vibe, complete with remixes from Chris Wood and Meat. 

The title track is a churning, spacious tech house groove peppered with perfectly placed hi hats. Building infectiously towards a peak of nimble melodies and filtered vocals, it’s a perfectly balanced, feathery track that will sweep up and lock in place dancefloors like DC 10 without any worries at all. 

The first remix from Frankfurt tech house innovator Chris Wood and his local Souvenir associate Meat is a much more full blooded and energetic affair. The loops are fleshed out with bubbling basslines and shooting diva cries as well as plenty of sci-fi synth details in the background, fun yet functional it’s designed for maximum dancing pleasure. 

The same pair provide a second remix of the same track, this one goes much deeper, staying locked in a rubber but funky kick drum pattern whilst layering up chord stabs, spitting drum hits and the original’s dark male vocal into a catchy patchwork of sound that constantly ducks and dive and will make you do the same. 
 
It’s back to Sabb & Cuartero then for the other original, “Front or Back”. There’s plenty of fine grain texture to the track which has buffed metal surfaces and a keen machine funk on display throughout. The silvery hi hats dangle invitingly above a punchy kick drum that hits left and right like a champion boxer. Loopy but lose, anthemic without being obvious, it’s a restrained tech house workout that causes maximum damage, especially when the horns go off in the latter half. 

Sabb & Cuartero then are a welcome addition to the Moon Harbour stable with a unique take on tech that will surely see them grow in stature ever more in the second half of 2013.

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.
