First Contact is a journey that explores different styles of drum and bass that I particularly like, from minimal dnb to crossbreed. And of course with a little psytrance and tribal flavor that I tried to blend with :)

Cookies Slayer - First Contact

Cookies Slayer is a French Psytechno live act and sound designer based in Montpellier. His music blends techno, psytrance, acid techno, dark progressive and experimental styles, often shaped by world music elements and unconventional structures. Through this psytechno project, he explores a personal trajectory within the underground electronic scene.

His tracks combine original sound design with processed samples, built around rhythmic shifts, textural changes and non-linear structures. 303 patterns, broken arrangements and contrast are key elements in his work. With a background in audio for film and games, he composes with precision, focusing on detail, structure and sound quality.

He performs primarily live, reconstructing his own tracks on stage. His sets move between dark peaktime techno, psytechno and psytrance, offering a personal and fully crafted performance.

Under the alias Select Username, he explores the faster and more abrasive side of his sound, producing crossbreed, drum & bass and hybrid bass music. The project focuses on raw intensity and high-BPM.

He also runs 303BPM, a label supporting experimental approaches to electronic dance music. It supports artists who prioritise sound design, work across genres, and build music that remains both unconventional and effective on the dancefloor.
