Techno

Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: BitterCaress

For several years now, BitterCaress has been pursuing her own musical path. Coming from a classical music background and after studying the piano at the conservatory for several years in Paris, she discovered techno in Montreal when she moved there in 2014.

Professional raver and techno events organizer for a while, she had the chance to broaden her musical culture before going behind the decks at the end of 2018.

Her sharp selection reveals a marked taste for heavy bass and uncompromising beats. Her style is best described as ravy and highly energetic as she draws her inspiration from old school techno, mixing ravy and trancy atmospheres with raw and industrial energies. The artist gets highly creative behind the decks with her openness to other genres and her appetite for risks when comes the time to play unexpected guilty pleasures. BitterCaress definitely knows how to make people dance and will slay any dancefloors.

Her journey has just started but she is already well-established in the Montreal local scene with several gigs under her belt notably at Stereo Nightclub or at Piknic Electronik and her residency at one of the scene’s most hyped collective, OCTOV. Playing alongside Jacidorex or Nur Jaber, among talented others, has definitely put her on the techno map. At the end of 2021, she has also begun to make some waves internationally with several podcasts for many renowned SoundCloud channels such as Possession, The Brvtalist or Instruments of Discipline.

BitterCaress also curates the Mixing for a Cause podcast series where she gives the floor to some local and international artists to raise awareness about causes that are meaningful to them.

In the same spirit, since the end of 2020, she is now managing her brand-new solo project called MFC Records. A label established as a way to support newcomers, fresh talents and already established artists from all over the world who would like to support a cause. All proceeds from the releases are going to carefully chosen non-for-profit organizations.

Through this series and that label, she hopes to build awareness and a better future world.

Enjoy!

An avid vinyl collector and techno and house enthusiast, his DJ sets and tracks combine raw, dark and deep elements with straightforward grooves reminiscent of the dark winter closings of Berlin techno clubs. He is resident DJ at the Château Perché Festival, and has forged the festival's techno musical identity through bookings with big names such as Freddy K, Sev Dah, Milton Bradley... His motto focuses on the flow of the set: 'It's all about the groove, a dancefloor, a sensual orgy between you and me.'

KSET - KILO

Donny Carr steps into HIGHER STATES with a bold 2-piece musical statement.

Known for genre-blurring explorations that unite deep, progressive, techno, and classic house, Utah-based music producer Donny Carr is the latest artist to align with the HIGHER STATES vision. A former saxophonist turned producer, Carr brings over 15 years of live-performance experience to high-level studio precision, resulting in a sound defined by groove, atmosphere, and instrumental soul.

His debut on HIGHER STATES aligns seamlessly with Roger Martinez’s musical vision: deeply textured, emotionally resonant progressive music with heart and drive. Within this perspective Carr however completely weaves his own distinct sonic trajectory, balancing great technical finesse with profound emotive resonance. Expect this release to stand as both a creative leap for Carr and a milestone in genre innovation.

Composition, Arrangement and Production: Donny Carr
