For Misfit Music’s 6th release, we welcome hotly tipped Dutch talent ‘Man With No Shadow’. A well known name on the Dutch scene for many years, but now making waves on the international stage with his stellar productions on hyped Techno labels such as 100% Pure, Off Recordings and Intacto. 

The Alanis EP kicks off with the title track.. Tough drums layer up with a pulsating percussive rhythm, while the atmospheric elements start lifting up through the mix. The lead synth takes over in the drops and brings the track into a whole new dimension. Label boss MONTEL has been playing this track in his sets for several months now and to devastating effect each and every time!
Next up Off Recordings head honcho Andre Crom steps up for remix duties.. Stripping the track back to its bare bones and unleashing one of the hardest hitting acid lines you’re likely to hear. He uses the original track’s breaks loop to create an atmospheric percussion build, before an array of banging Techno drums kick in. This remix is HEAVY!
Supporting track ’T-Funk’ is a heady slice of vibey basement Techno.. Driving and hypnotic it really is one to set the mood in a dark room and in those wee small hours!
Bonus track Alanis ‘Dub’ offers a more stripped back version to the lead cut.

Big things continue to happen for MONTEL and Steve Boyd’s Belfast based label. Their ethos of forward thinking House & Techno music is a shining example of true club music!

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.
