Ambient Sleepers 008: Eric Cloutier
( @cloutier )

Four 8th podcast, We're thrilled to release the recording from Eric Cloutier's beautiful 1 hour Ambient set at our last event Ambient Sleepers #5(05.05.22.)!

We had the chance to invite this legendary Techno DJ and producer from NY/Detroit to perform a special Ambient set, offering us a dreamy journey between atmospheric ambient, field recording, drone and experimental sounds - Enjoy!


More info about Eric Cloutier:

Cloutier’s nature - one of zeal and infatuation towards the warm, dubby, hypnotic house and techno that has come to characterize his sound as well as his ability to bridge the gap between dance music’s past and its future.

Eric Cloutier’s standards are representative of the pre-social media craze and arguably the old adage of letting music speak for itself. Cloutier’s twenty-plus year commitment has been built upon his integrity as a DJ and authority as a selector. A self-described "record digging psychopath," one only has to refer to his mix of highly sought after cuts from Driftwood Records to see the lengths Cloutier will go to in order to procure the perfect selection. This is truly Cloutier’s nature - one of zeal and infatuation towards the warm, dubby, hypnotic house and techno that has come to characterize his sound as well as his masterful ability to bridge the gap between dance music’s past and its future.

An exception to the norm, Cloutier is not one to capitalize on his Detroit origins. Moving to New York in his 20’s, he became a regular face at The Bunker where he began to further define his innate style of body orientated music. Now situated in Berlin, where he often shows up behind the decks of niche alcoves as well as the world’s best clubs, Cloutier’s reputation as an unequivocal, dexterous force is increasingly becoming one of note. His talents as a producer have also been growing of late, with the establishment of his own imprint Palinoia, Greek for “the obsessive repetition of an act until it is perfected or mastered.” The label has become the new home and optimization for Cloutier’s evolving undertakings. Through Palinoia, Cloutier manages to further synthesize slick, dubby club music to slide into his DJ sets as well as feature lesser known talent he's discovered. He’s a DJ for whom quality - above all else - is the watchword.

Ambient Sleepers 008: Eric Cloutier

“You were always there for me, and that’s all I needed. Just you. For some reason, I didn’t feel sad or broken up, it just didn’t seem real. But slowly I realized it was real – that you were gone. And little by little, I slowly felt something inside me go numb." (Cowboy Bebop)

IO Podcast Series Episode 060 mixed by Caldera.

For this 60th episode, we invited the talented producer Caldera who enlights us with a very beautiful and deep mix.
If you don't know him yet; since 2012, Caldera has been creating a unique and personal blend of Techno and Bass music with a love for detail and a dedicated sounddesign that immerses listeners into imaginary worlds.
His experiments with drums and rhythms result in grooves that explore a deeper side of dance music while leaving bpm and genre restrictions behind.
Caldera's creations have found a home on labels such as Berlin's Nummer Music, Chicago's Kimochi Sound and Bristol's Pressure Dome while his Loop LF moniker has previously been a mainstay on London based Well Steet Records.
Right now we're eagerly waiting for his upcoming release on @melifera_records.

When we asked the artist for a few words about the mix he told us, that the inspiration for it stemmed from a preference for slower, more meditative transitions and a deliberate, gradual increase in intensity.
The mix aims to evoke a sense of transitioning from the somber winter into the hopeful beginnings of spring, reflecting a personal journey from adversity towards renewal and positivity.

Back in 2023 we were lucky enough to release an exceptional podcast from Timnah - our ears were hooked! We immediately felt the potential and knew that she would be the DJ to provide the perfect festival afternoon soundtrack to our beloved forest.

Fast forward to Sunday afternoon at Monument Festival 2024, and Timnah’s set completely surpassed our already high expectations. From the moment she started, it was clear this was going to be something special.

Starting slow and deep, setting the stage like the opening of an epic tale, Timnah’s set unfolded layer by layer, note by note like a cinematic sonic story told deep in the forest by a master storyteller, one that could have only been by Timnah herself.

Available now on our SoundCloud and YouTube channels or wherever you get your podcasts.

Monument Festival 2024 : Timnah

Last year, Osaka based artist Rei shared a deep ambient mix with us. He  returns this time with a powerful ambient techno mix, finding harmony between steady rhythms and irregular ambient textures, valuing clarity of sound.

Rei listens to the world from both micro and macro perspectives “Even the sound of water falling from leaves sounds different depending on whether it’s a big creature like an elephant or a small creature like an ant,” he says, showcasing a sensitivity to scale and storytelling through sound. Themes of harmony and coexistence flow deeply through Rei’s work. “The grandeur and beauty of nature, and its coexistence and harmony,” he shares, are central to his compositions.

In this latest mix for SKIN, Rei invites listeners to be carried by the expansive sound and lingering resonance. He wants you to bask in the afterglow and embrace the emotional depth of the music.

While Rei continues to create from his home base, he humbly hopes to one day travel, gathering sounds from around the world and sharing his music in new places.

For now, we invite you to listen and definitely give Rei a follow, his productions are worth exploring. Welcome back, Rei. <3
