Spotted by hardcore legends Marc Acardipane and Manu Le Malin, Cuften is one of the best guardians of the rave identity of these last years in France. Since 2017, he has been shaping an uncommon sound identity between electro, IDM, techno and rave that stands out with a 100% analog sound, anchored in the future, inspired by its precursors like DMX Krew, I-F or Legowelt.
After a remarkable debut on Tripalium or Minimum Syndicat, Cuften was opened the doors of the acclaimed label Planet Phuture - the first artist other than his creator to sign on the label - by the legend Marc Acardipane, on which he signed two EPs with artworks created by Number3, creator of the Aphex Twin logo. In only a few years, Cuften performed at such prestigious stages such as Transmusicales, Le Printemps de Bourges, Astropolis or Concrete / Dehors Brut, has been acclaimed by big medias like Tsugi or Radio Nova and is playlisted by Helena Hauff.

Nowadays, Cuften makes his arrival on Astropolis Records with "Animal Suicide", a 5-track EP on vinyl including a remix by Dutch pioneer Legowelt . Digital version includes a bonus remix by French producer Cate Hortl (best known to be half of Oktober Lieber).
An EP whose purpose denounces our society’s thirst for technological progress, essentially fed with analogical instruments and sounds evoking the beginnings of techno in the late 80s and early 90s. However, if the timeless sounds of the EP evoke the past, the music of Cuften alchemizes a contemporary, inventive sound and an anti-commercial approach. A nostalgic music that deconstructs the rave heritage towards futuristic sounds, with the help of his old analogical synthesizers. A rather raw and rave first approach where the groove is however omnipresent, making Cuften's music a resolutely accessible and federative whole with its combination of D.I.Y aesthetics and vocals, mixed with an ingenious and inventive technique on the machines.

The EP opens with Animal Suicide, a melancholic and analogical melody, dark and luminous, progressively settling towards a rave rhythmic with a powerful kick. A vaporous and vintage electro with a futuristic look with its vocoded voice and its cinematographic touches.
No More Sunday Regrets is more experimental and brutal at first before giving way to a synthetic and psychedelic melody with singular rhythms and organic synths.
Unibios captivates with its luminous melody before a bewitching acid line which snakes gradually settles, accompanied by a heavy bassline.
Heart Particles calls out with a sharp contrast, with its soft voice and melody, as if the shuffle mode had landed us on an ambient record. The tempo increases progressively with an acid line and a slow and powerful rhythms, between the psychedelia of The Orb and Warp’s reveries of the 90's.
Final track is a remix by Dutch pioneer Legowelt, master of synthesizers and underground electro who has always been a great source of inspiration for Cuften. From the start, his rereading of Animal Suicide captivates with a raw and powerful bassline followed by an acid melody with strong emotional power intertwined with the original vocal. 
On the digital version, French producer Cate Hortl aka Charlotte Boisselier, former member of Oktober Lieber and freshly signed on the trendy label Ritmo Fatale closes the EP with an ecstatic remix of No More Sunday Regrets, combination of italo, industrial, synth techno and dark wave. A great revision with the most exciting elements of the club culture, full of 80’s vibes.

Spun Out Agency have rallied up their talented roster for a compilation dedicated to the sorely missed Andrew Weatherall, who was part of the agency for almost two decades. The title is also a tip of the hat to the Guv’nor. More of that Frightful Oompty Boompty Music showcases the acid, techno and house sounds at the core of the roster, which Andrew would have described as "oopmty-boompty" music.

Made up of 18 tracks, with eight of the tracks also released as a two-part vinyl package, the compilation features music from Paranoid London, Fantastic Twins, Mehmet Aslan, Autarkic, Ruf Dug, Sean Johnston, and Manfredas, among many others.

Spun Out is a London-based artist booking agency, run by Caroline Hayes for over 20 years. She looks after a roster of DJs that like to colour outside the lines, including Optimo (Espacio), Ivan Smagghe, Josh Caffe, Man Power, Body Hammer and Ellie Stokes.

PREMIERE: Cuften - Animal Suicide (Legowelt Remix) [Astropolis Records]

The thick metal door slammed with an ominous thud; the sound of the key twisting in the lock made his insides do the same. A realisation washed over him; he wasn't going to escape his mistakes this time, his sentence was in the email - signed, sealed and delivered. Years and years of swerving the law, of flying under the radar and not taking responsibility for his actions, but this time it wouldn't go unpunished. He'd made his bed and he'd have to lie in it, at least until the hangman came knocking at his door. 

For the last five years Lyon-based DJs and producers Tushen Rai and Cornelius Doctor have been trawling the outer reaches of the universe mining for musical gold. Through their label Hard Fist they've not just built a strong sonic identity, they've also grown an extensive family of like-minded producers, many of whom are helping them to celebrate and commemorate this five year milestone. Self-dubbed a "Unidentified Noisy Object (U.N.O)", to mark the occasion they've enlisted label mates and peers who've been part of their journey to collaborate as part of a mammoth compilation titled Dust of Life.

The double LP, which was lovingly supported by their devoted following via a crowdfunding campaign, features link ups from the likes of Bawrut & Phil Louzolo, Sascha Funke & Fantastic Twins and Errortica & Curses, who explore threads of post-punk, new wave, acid, trance and electronica.

Cuften - Heart Particles

Head hazy, eyes blurred; even the sliver of light creeping through the curtain feels invasive, total darkness is needed. Memories? What memories? Any recollection of the evening before had been lost in a smog of shame and regret, at least for now. The fragments would slowly become clearer as Sunday unravelled, they'd unveil themselves whether invited to or not; a story being pieced back together chapter by chapter, though some parts would be better left to the imagination...

French artist Cuften has been flying the flag for a new generation of rave producers in the country over the last five years. Connecting the dots between IDM, hardcore, techno and electro, his analog sound pays homage to the 90s heyday, when these sounds reigned supreme, whilst keeping his eyes firmly on the future. With EPs for Tripalium, Minimum Syndicat and rave veteran Marc Acardipane's Planet Phuture under his belt, he now makes his mark on Astropolis Records with Animal Suicide, a five-track release packed with his trademark blend of future-facing old school techno, that comes backed by remixes from Legowelt and Cate Hortl.
