Dutch icon Man With No Shadow steps in with a mobile and moody Hardgroove single that marks a satisfying convergence between modern trend and the development of his artistic expression.

With over 20 years in the game, Man With No Shadow has steadily bloomed from the fertile grounds of the Dutch electronic music scene; initially as a DJ and later as a producer with records on OFF and Drumcode and eventually as co-founder and resident at the comprehensive club outfit GZG. 

It's experience like this that enables an artist to communicate clearly through music and this is case in point right here. Deep-set pads, stormy atmospherics and tessellating loops work to form a chilly and magnetic groove that carries enough force to make a mark at the warm up, the zenith of the night or the afters.

Man With No Shadow – shady name for a respectable artist. Throwing legendary raves and rocking dance floors for the past decade, he has earned his stripes as an icon of Dutch club culture. Known as a DJ first, he’s made some big steps as a producer recently, finetuning his ‘positive take on techno’ with releases on labels like OFF Recordings, Drumcode and 100% Pure.  

Eventually, it was his his ‘Drumfeld EP’ on 100% Pure that became his breakthrough as a producer and a career-defining EP. The release got massive international feedback and scored for weeks in Beatport’s techno charts. Musically, it stood out by combining the power of techno and a rave-inspired touch. Altogether, feeling like a soundtrack for the warehouse years with GZG – the organization he entered the scene with in the 00’s, throwing notorious raves.  

As co-founder and resident DJ of these infamous GZG parties, Man With No Shadow  made an impact on the Dutch scene. An entire generation of underground clubbers was inspired by their raves in old warehouses and deserted factories. To this day, the parties are talked about and it was here that his so called ‘formative years’ as a DJ took place. Evolving into a blend of silk-mixed house and techno which he played at every relevant club and festival in The Netherlands. 

The last years marked a new chapter of Man With No Shadow’s career as he invigorated his focus on music production. After the ‘Drumfeld’ highlight he answered with a release on OFF Recordings, continuing the techno approach with a freaky twist. The year 2018 saw another EP on Misfit Music and an addition to Drumcode’s A Sides compilation with ‘Manila’.. an out-of-the-box track that makes you wonder what’s next.. Stay tuned.
