Behind the Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic) : Release Notes

Following EPMs recent vinyl collaboration with Pariss Yoyaku on Reel By Reals Surkit Remixed and Remastered EPM present a new project, again with a French touch. Madben returns (this time solo) for the Groove On EP. Born in the North of France, Madben has retained a taste for DIY culture and a nickname that comes direct from the warehouse. The Lille resident has been living techno since his emergence in the scene. From the 1990s, he followed this new scene closely via the flyers he found at local record stores. With his friends, he spent nights in Belgium; Fuse in Brussels, Kozzmozz parties in Ghent or in disused factories in Kortrijk – free and perfect territory to listen to the best sounds of the time. In 2010, Benjamin put his savings into a rudimentary studio, a pair of speakers, a monitor, a MIDI keyboard and a computer equipped with Reason and Ableton and eventually starts broadcasting it in real time on Soundcloud. Pushed by his friends, he sends demos to Laurent Garnier who immediately responds: Garnier plays a track on his radio show, It is What It Is, on Le Mouv. Madbens name begins to grow and he teams up with Brest festival Astropolis, a French electronic institution, before launching his own label. Now numerous releases and three albums into his career (two solo productions and one collaboration as Trunkline with Yann Lean), Madben is a steady pair of hands both behind the decks in clubs such as Berghain (Berlin), Printworks (London) Awakenings and De Marktkantne (Amsterdam) or as a producer on labels such as Astropolis, Maceo Plexs Ellum, Skryptom Records, Fedeles Obscura and Berlin based Mobilee. Following last summers We Hit Drums EP alongside Kosme, Madben continues his alliance with EPM, highlighting that techno not only needs clubland raw power but also that all important groove. Kick-starting with a rattling break, Groove On builds into a club busting roof-raiser, complete with strings, stabs and a party call to arms! Celebration wraps itself around a melody that is sonically stamped with Motor City DNA throughout, whilst My Groovy Animoog toughens the beat with dark industrial undertones that echo 90s European techno. Closing out we have the hypnotic crunch of Dont Mess With My G, where sinister beats meet the darker side of the Windy City. Living in the shadows between techno and house, Groove On draws from Detroit, Chicago and rave culture with equal measure. The very essence of Madben.
