HARDPROOF VA05

Kluster Groover :

This project is a breath of fresh air for the Kluster collective and label. Initially proposing a predominantly industrial artistic direction, it is natural that mental and groovy techno has made its appearance in our events. We are very proud to be able to propose this first project composed of artists who, in our eyes, are the flagship of this musical style :

@hmess
@warnung
@paul-laurens & @timo-niksen
@sinistermind_r
@mentalduality (Franklin S & Noah Benlloch)
@levzonmusic

Kluster parties :
Kluster parties are underground events in Paris, usually accessible only to our members. The reason why we do this is because the parisian techno scene can be quite rude, and partygoers in big events often lack the values of respect, acceptance and community found in other countries...Beyond creating respectful and wholesome party spaces, we are avid music enthusiasts who thrive on sharing the sounds we love (such as yours!) with our community.

Marcel Fengler’s place within the pantheon of German techno master’s is undisputed. As one of the first residents of Berghain / Panorama Bar, Fengler has been a constant on the global circuit for over 20 years. But his influence doesn’t stop at the DJ booth. Since 2011 the Brandenburg-born sound craftsman has sought to introduce new and younger talents via his imprint Marcel Fengler Index (IMF). A commitment he doesn’t plan on stopping soon. Leading the charge by way of EP opener, ‘Driftless’ is fast-rising Dublin native Aero. Set to a rollicking backdrop of rumbling bass and sawing synth, the track is unwavering and chugs with thunderous momentum breaking in parts only briefly before swiftly setting off again galloping vehemently to its close. Further tracks of HARDPROOF VA05 will be contributed by Vision Ekstase key member Rove Ranger, EarToGround label boss Gareth Wild, Berlin based massive talent Dajusch and Under Club Buenos Aires resident Kid Riot. 

IMF HARDPROOF VA05 is available to buy/stream from the 3rd May on all digital platforms.

Released on 3 rd May, the fifth instalment of IMF’s Hardproof VA collection features killer originals from Aero, Rove Ranger, Gareth Wild, Dajusch and Kid Riot.

As one of the first residents of Berghain / Panorama Bar, Fengler has been a constant on the global circuit for over 20 years. But his influence doesn’t stop at the DJ booth.

Rove Ranger is a prominent name in the Stuttgart scene and founder of the Vision Ekstase party series. His HARDPROOF offering ‘Chordal’ is ironically titled, in the sense it is anything but. The melody is a somewhat caustic mix of brittle drums, heart palpitating bass and creeping effects. A subtle inclusion of a chiming string lead late on makes for the track’s most “cordial” moment, but this is soon overrun by the tenacious melody we first hear.

PREMIERE: Dajusch - Repeating [IMFHP05]

HARDPROOF VA Series Returns To Marcel Fengler’s IMF Imprint. Since 2011 the Brandenburg-born sound craftsman has sought to introduce new and younger talents via his imprint Marcel Fengler Index (IMF). A commitment he doesn’t plan on stopping soon.

Gareth Wild is synonymous with London’s techno scene, a landscape he has helped shape with his EarToGround label and via his imitable presence as a resident of Fold. On ‘Switchblade’ he instils a tense energy from the off employing a rolling kick and industrial percussion that are set to a swirling windstorm. The core beat is unwavering methodically churning its way through clanking metallic tones and stormy reverb before sharply ending.

Marcel Fengler’s place within the pantheon of German techno master’s is undisputed. As one of the first residents of Berghain / Panorama Bar, Fengler has been a constant on the global circuit for over 20 years. But his influence doesn’t stop at the DJ booth. Since 2011 the Brandenburg-born sound craftsman has sought to introduce new and younger talents via his imprint Marcel Fengler Index (IMF). A commitment he doesn’t plan on stopping soon. Argentine veteran Kid Riot is the alias of Juan Benedetti who has been an instrumental figure in his country’s underground culture for over 25 years. Closing out the EP with ‘Countdown’, he opts for a driving bass set to an ensemble of stuttering claps. A thudding drum and a chorus of off-kilter bleeping then proceed to take hold to the see out the final measure of the track. Further tracks of HARDPROOF VA05 will be contributed by Vision Ekstase key member Rove Ranger, EarToGround label boss Gareth Wild, Berlin based massive talent Dajusch and Dublin native Aero.
