Insomnia 2021 (Epic Mix)

Acumen & Numa - Pretty Fly (Music for Free)

The latest release from French producer Acumen sees him return to his much respected Time Has Changed label. After wowing us recently with his tracks on his other imprint, Thrill of It, the Patience EP sees him return to the tech-house pastures for which he’s so loved. Entitled Patience, the EP features two stunning originals, as well as a remix from the always on the money, Sven Tasnadi.

it’s the title track that gets out of the traps first. Dark, metallic and curated with a real sense of mysterious abandonment, it saunters with a furious pace that’ll mean it’ll inject life into any ailing - of full-on - party. Coated in white noise and a baseline to die for, it’s indicative of Acumen at his most compelling best. Tasnadi’s ‘Aller Retour Paris’ remix is a different beast, although it too isn’t without its merits. Again, it’s a spiky and beguiling affair, this time thanks mainly to a slew of celestial and melancholic vibes which course throughout. Full of gusto, it too is one for discerning underground heads especially.

Acumen’s final original is ‘Equilibre’, a production that speaks to anyone with even a passing love of Detroit techno. A real vibey groover, it chugs along with some panache, stopping only to allow a series of well-formed claps combine with a devilishly deep baseline. The keys are dripping with class too - with really, is the story of this EP in the whole.

Acumen - The Butterfly Effect

Open Your Secret Window

Inspired by the surrealistic album art of Orbital’s iconic 1994 album Snivilisation–where a God-like figure sits on a holy throne, his face obscured by a virtual reality headset–virtuality is as relevant now as three decades ago, and is charted hire sonically with compelling soundscapes of inner and outer worlds.

Acumen - Summer Vibes - Podcast - August 2020

Wally Lopez is back on Natura Viva, this time with a collaboration with Safar (FR). "Soupirs" is a deep dive into mystic and afro elements, a real hypno journey. We proudly welcome Acumen on the remix duty, with a more clubby and powerful version of the original track.

PREMIERE Wally Lopez & Safar (FR) - Soupirs (Acumen Vision Remix) [NATURA VIVA]

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.
