One of the hottest new talents to come out of the techno melting pot in recent times, Blaxad makes his full fledged debut on Kuiper Noise with 'Three Holes In a Bucket', a stunning 3-tracker complete with all the bits and pieces you might expect from a superior sound craftsman.

In turns dense and menacing, trippy and dream-like, hypnotic and pounding, running at roughly 18 minutes, the EP is both timely in showcasing the French producer's full skills and surgical in how it erects a self-contained environment that's quick to transport one's senses into a territory both strange and familiar - and one that's all the more precious for it.

From the top, the title track erupts like a noir-movie on steroids, hinting in places at the labyrinthine mindset of modern society, while still grasping for measured gushes of light, giving it the distinct aspect of a foreign object untouched by science.

Next comes 'Access Denied', invoking the hunting urgency of a wild beast on the prowl, sneaking into the mix situations of concocted suspense, elevated by the mysterious sensuousness of circular metal works and spontaneous percussion drive-byes.

The record then ends in style with what is perhaps the waviest ride of them all - 'Waltz With Bashir' - a one-way mindtrip into early night oblivion, juggling between subdued notes of hope and progressive low-end witchcraft, on top of a seamless tapestry of textures.

All in all, 'Three Holes In a Bucket' does what it was always destined to do: dazzle the spirit and sequester the mind.

Bio:

Holldën is a techno DJ and producer from Portugal. He began playing in 2001, inspired by a common love of techno among his friends, the Algarve rave circuit and regular outings at local clubs, where he studied up close some of the greatest techno acts in the world.

Following a lengthy hiatus from the music scene, he resurfaced in 2016 to found his own imprint Kuiper Noise. Later he designed and hosted The Outpost, a techno radio show aired on Radio Solar FM.

His own releases have been featured on labels such as Second State, Quartz, Illegal Alien, Affekt, Out-Er or Rhod, and his music has been remixed by the likes of Temudo, Patrik Skoog, Astronomy Domine or Fixon.

His release "Kindness Of Killers", reached no. 4 in Junodowload's coveted techno chart.

In 2018 he joined Lisbon's notorious techno collective Disturb • and more recently he signed a record deal with Second State, from which resulted a participation in the SUM10 V.A. and the "Malpractice" solo EP, which went straight to #1 on Junodownload's techno sales chart.

His latest works are now available on Suara and his own Kuiper Noise.

Blaxad is a French DJ and Producer from the suburbs of Paris. Drawing inspiration from a transformative journey through the captivating landscapes of Scandinavia, Blaxad's artistic vision has been profoundly influenced by the intricate details and emotions he experienced during his travels.
The genesis of the name, "Blaxad," is an homage to the renowned comic book series "Blacksad," which seamlessly blends vivid imagery with gripping storytelling. This choice reflects Blaxad's aspiration to create a sonic narrative that resonates just as powerfully with his listeners. From the bustling streets of Paris to the vast expanses of Scandinavia, the artist's introspective journey finds its culmination.
The contrast between the serene natural landscapes and the vibrant urban scenes he encountered served as a wellspring of inspiration, influencing not only his music but also his overall artistic approach like photography, most of them are used for his Self- Release Cover.
Through his sets and original productions, he weaves together the essence of Berlin's techno spirit.
