DJ Legende, Produzenten-Ikone, Avantgardist, Pionier. Nur wenige Menschen haben die Musikszene der letzten 28 Jahre durch ihr Schaffen so nachhaltig geprägt wie Pascal FEOS. 4 Solo Alben, über 200 Releases und zig hundert Remixe gehen auf sein Konto.
Der Hunger auf neue Soundexperimente ist deshalb aber noch längst nicht gestillt. Dabei sah es in den letzten Monaten verhältnismäßig ruhig um ihn aus, doch war das nur die berühmte Ruhe vor dem Sturm. Denn ein FEOS wäre schließlich kein FEOS, wenn seine Finger nicht täglich an irgendeinem Controller neue Sounds schrauben würde.
Jetzt ist es endlich soweit. Pascal ist back und haut euch, Gentlemanlike wie er nun mal ist, ein extra fettes Begrüßungsgeschenk mit der Aufschrift DEPARTED 2 RETURN auf den Tisch. Dahinter verbirgt sich nicht nur das fünfte FEOS Album, sondern auch die in Musik verpackte Antwort auf die Frage, was er während seiner drei-jährigen kreativen und von Selbstreflexion geprägten Schaffenspause alles erlebt hat oder auch durchleben musste. Jede Höhe, jede Tiefe, jede neue Lebenserkenntnis wurde von Pascal mit Musik verarbeitet. Sein Output war dabei so groß, dass er mit DEPARTED 2 RETURN erstmals ein Doppelalbum präsentiert.
Auf wahlweise 2x2 Vinyl, 2 CDs oder 30 Beatportlinks finden sich viele FEOS Solo Tracks, aber auch viele Kooperationsproduktionen mit seinen engsten Weggefährten FRANK LEICHER, HEIKO MSO, DOMENIC D'AGNELLI, MARC MIROIR, MANUEL RODRIGUEZ und RED ROBIN. Facettenreich wie eh und je reicht die FEOS ́sche Bandbreite vom House über groovenden Techhouse bis hin zum Bassgewaltigen Techno.
Insofern bleibt nicht mehr, als viel Spaß zu wünschen mit DEPARTED 2 RETURN. Dem vielleicht spannendsten und ehrlichsten Doppelalbum, dass PASCAL FEOS bislang gemacht hat.

// Pascal FEOS - DJ Producer & Labelowner

There are not many originals like Pascal FEOS. You have to search intensively to find one like him - one of those who started earlier and is longer in the game than most of the others.

Pascal FEOS is what magazines like to call a "true original": he is partof the old-school, of those, who learned their skills from scratch. Since more than 28 years Pascal FEOS is playing the very special and individual style of his music around the globe. Besides he´s producing, remixing and managing his labels, nerdish and staying true to his roots as always. You can feel immediately that this "old-school"consciousness is living in every inch of his body. No matter if you are getting to know him as a DJ behind a set of turntables or if you hear one of his many productions - the impact, that Pascal FEOS has on others, is truly original.

The philosophy with which Pascal FEOS is managing his labels is closely linked to his personal idea of the DJ. He himself is one of those DJs who understand their work as a mission rather than as a platform to draw a lot of attention on their person. His whole attention belongs to the dance floor and to the next record which is only destined for the dancers. Pascal calls this approach "club-dedicated without a doubt" - and he definitely knows what he is talking about. "Iam happy", he says, "that this is also my point of view when working in the studio". Understanding the needs of the dancefloor, to know your business and to be able to work with all the equipment in your studio by yourself are the minimum standards that Pascal has for his own artistic work.

Being responsible for 5 solo albums, over 200 releases and hundreds of remixes it is only right that this attitude gets him a lot of respect and success. In his discography one is able to find a range of popular names embracing the likes of Laurent Garnier, Sven Väth or AnneClark. As DJ, producer and remixer he counts to the most sought after artist in the field of electronic music and his work has already led him to all continents of the world. The future will show which heights Pascal will reach with his firm belief in substance, qualityand consistency. One thing is sure: this man knows that he has yet away to go..
