Composed on Reunion Island between 2019 and 2021, a period which I took some distance from techno (the context particularly lent itself to this), I then focused on slower rhythms and approching a more "trans" vision in my music with very varied inspirations, dub/electronica/industrial/rock/ambient... many sounds that can perhaps be felt in this EP. It is also the fruit of a lot of inner questioning and reflexions on my goals as a musician. This is partly why it took several years before decided to release it. It now represents an important part of my life and I am very happy to share it !

Inkasso - Schatten Deines Selbst (käfTen015)

Acid Camp is excited to announce a new compilation album. The album celebrates the label’s 10 year anniversary with 35 artists—of which 25 are releasing with the label for the very first time.

As the largest release in the record label’s history, Acid Camp: 10 Year Anniversary Compilation dramatically expands upon Acid Camp All Stars Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (both 2018) with more than triple the number of featured artists. Ten return to the label, including Eric Cloutier and Jeremiah Chiu, while Abby Echiverri, Bézier, Force Placement, and 32 more celebrate their first track with Acid Camp.

From Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Berlin to Tokyo, the artists represent the breadth of the underground and independent music scenes of the 2020s and underscore the collective strength of Acid Camp’s community since 2013. The release spans dancefloor-forward acid house and techno to ambient, downtempo, and funk selections. Lyrics are cut and collaged; synths are squelched; grooves are grooved.

100% of the album's profits will be donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), founded over 30 years ago in 1991. PCRF is the leading nonprofit organization providing medical care and diverse humanitarian assistance to countless children in the Middle East.
