DATASMOK is an alias of Rave veteran @albert_van_abbe showcasing his roots in the Dutch underground squat- & Tekno scene. A raw niche that he was intimately involved with during the early 2000’s, performing live-sets at illegal raves throughout Europe where playing countless hours knee-deep in mud for dogs on acid was the norm.

The DATASMOK project was kickstarted by default when Guy Tavares and Albert decided to release archived tracks from van Abbe on Tavares' Bunker Records, a label Albert has been working with since 2007. Ever since Reaktor-events got wind of the project and asked DATASMOK to close their event Kartharsis at the Elementenstraat Warehouse in Amsterdam, DATASMOK requests have kept rolling in. 2017 is seeing a brand new DATASMOK E.p. on Bas Mooy's MORD as well as a Penik Ettek / DATASMOK split on rave imprint Repitch.

Fabrizio Rat - La Machina


« Take a piano, the classic and romantic instrument par excellence, and project it into the hypnotic and powerful soundscape of techno music ». 

Following two Eps, ‘’La Machina’’ (Optimo Trax) and ‘’Technopiano’’ (Involve), Fabrizio releases his first album of hybrid techno, with an innovative sound palette. The Pianist combines the acoustic sounds and weird harmonics of his prepared piano with the acid loops of the TB-303 and the beats of the TR-909.
« I want to play like these machines that I love, to translate their exactitude and imperfection with my human nature, to open up new paths, and play with our errors. The repetition process let me enter another dimension, a state of trance where the physical effort disappear, and control is not necessary any more, I just need to be carried away by sound, with a bit of luck. »

Unsurprisingly, it’s in front of the dancefloor, in clubs or festivals, that Fabrizio plays his live sets. With the right hand he plays repetitive rhythmical patterns while the left one handles the machines and manipulates the piano strings.
His goal is to reach « the trance, to project on the dancers the hypnotic state of my right hand moving on the piano ».
