Following the sophisticated Luna Train EP released in 2013, French DJ and producer Ardan Bel comes back under his Humantronic pseudo to deliver a powerful techno rework of ‘Luna Train’. Working with chirugical micro loops of the original melody, the result is hypnotic. Its solid beats and energetic basslines doubled with swinging synths interventions and dub delays. A serious tool for dancefloors killers.

Berlin based techno stalwart HUMANTRONIC drops a compilation of classic tracks under the title "URBAN RHYTHMS". 2010 has been an especially significant year for this innovative techno producer, with the launch of his new label Manakacha and his live performance for Marsatac Festival in his homeland. Humantronic wanted to give a recap of his favorite tracks, produced over this last four years. Encapsulating the highlights, before moving towards a new chapter.  Since his first release ‘Kiss of the Flowerman’ on Neopren Records (2006), Humantronic has developed a very specific sound, driving peaktime techno tracks, for the pleasure of the DJ and the joy 
of the dancing crowd. 
Driving beats, shivering basses mixed together with frenetic synth chords turning into hystery or just down right narcotic techno. This release ‘Urban Rhythms’ is more than a simple ‘compilation’  it brings the pure and fascinating techno that has made the brand HUMANTRONIC inevitable in the new tech scene.

With this fourth EP on Manakacha, Ardan Bel comes back with a super shiny summer release.
Starting with the enchanting house track “The house downtown”, and this groovy piano stabs on a warm analog bassline and catchy beats.

If the tempo slows down to 118 bpm on ‘Midori 73’ the mood goes deep and hypnotic with acidlines and vaporous pads. A rolling track with densely drums and percussion patterns.
As conclusion, Ardan Bel’s ‘Panorama switch’ is a composition built on an harmonic progression. An explosive track to enjoy the summer.

Ardan Bel - Panorama Switch (MNKC014) Teaser

This new Ep is 100% made in Berlin.
Jerando is one of those activist which make the Berlin techno scene so vivid. He performs as DJ in venues like Bar 25, Arena, Watergate or Ritterbutzke. As promoter, he was part of the Netaudio festival untill he started his own party series and a label called Werkstoff Musik. As co-producer with musician Rafael Gomez, together, they get one step higher as a team. With releases on Substatic or Treibstoff, Rafael Gomez was part of the Cologne scene and his productions with Jerando take the best of both cities into one entire new groove. Its the right balance between house and techno with
enough tribal elements to obtain addictive groovy tunes.
In ‘Soaked’ the two partners leave the rough weather of their ‘Kiez’ to take us for a trip in some amazonian landscapes, a shamanic experience in the rainforest. We are surrounded by percussions and dub sounds, hailed by some floating weird vocals and pushed to dance by a mesmerizing synth groove.
Humantronic remix takes the track back to an urban mood. Its deep and dubby with strong basses, extremely stretched voices associated with swinging rides and funky rolling drums.

HUMANTRONIC : OTHERLANDS EP (MANAKACHA 019)
Release Date : 1st JULY 2016

https://soundcloud.com/humantronic

"Following ‘Red Bloom’ released in march, we are very excited to present a new Humantronic’s release. The french producer strikes again with two powerful and punchy tracks ‘Otherlands’ and ‘Imperfektion’

Ten years after his first track « I never sleep to sleep » released with Cabanne & Swayzak remixes. Humantronic continues to reveal his own vision of techno with heavy, mesmerizing and groovy tunes. A techno in his own image : sincere and unusual, part of the current climate only to breathe in some fresh oxygen.

With more releases planned for the rest of the year, in solo (also as Ardan Bel) or in duo with Leonard de Leonard and Otomates a brand new side-project, Humantronic is the name to watch. And 2016 really is the year that he has finally bloomed in the techno scene. July will see the release of ‘South Waves’ on Kevin Saunderson’s imprint, KMS record.

So don’t be surprised to find some Detroit influences in the chords and rhythm of Imperfektion build on this massive bassline, trademark of Humantronic’s techno. The main track Otherlands, composed with analog synthesizers, is a trip where he explores new territories with hypnotic and asymmetric patterns to get the dancers in an introspective and more spiritual mood."

As ‘Surprise du Chef’ , the release ends with ‘Emil’s dream’ a chilled down-tempo piece combining electronic shoegaze elements with pop instruments and organic synths parts. First composed for a commercial, Humantronic finally adapted the track for this release, opening the doors to a larger part of his musical universe.

Humantronic - Prophet Of The Loop (Manakacha022)

https://humantronic.bandcamp.com/album/damia-live-ep

Humantronic has always handled with equal ease playing as a DJ or Live. Yet this does not go unmotivated. He simply uses these tools among many others to serve an instinctive musical approach and his peculiar universe. In his approach to the dancefloor, as well as in the way he considered the technological vehicle, as an integral part of his music. And, when he plays behind the decks or with his machines, he really plays : there is real work here on textures and atmospheres as well as on the development of his sets searching out his own way no matter whether it should shut him off or lead to the fast track of success.
Manakacha is very excited to present you DAMIA (Live EP) with three tracks played during Humantronic’s latest live show.
Starting with ‘Damia’, a powerful melodic techno track which has been a secret weapon of his set for a while and finally released. 
The live version of ‘Blacklight Ritual’ has a new groove where kick and bass are rolling with strange african sounds. 
The 'Otherlands' version is definitely more physical and strictly techno but the obsessive analogue synthesizer is still there to get the dancers into an ecstatic mood.  

Enjoy the show !
