Perc is one of modern electronic music’s reference points: an internationally touring DJ and live act, founder of the scene leading Perc Trax label and one of the most respected producers in techno today.
As a performer Perc has taken his sound across the world to such seminal clubs as Berghain, Fabric, Tresor, Fuse, Space Ibiza, Concrete, Unit in Tokyo and to festivals including Awakenings, Glastonbury, DGTL Unpolished, Mayday, Unsound, Verknipt, Dour, Soenda, 10 Days Off, Extrema and many more.
His podcast for Resident Advisor’s scene-leading mix series, his four Boiler Room performances and his 2023 HÖR Berlin set showcase Perc at his very best. Each is a perfect example of his fusion of bleeding edge techno and classic noise and experimental influences.
2024 will be a pivotal year in Perc's career with his new album 'The Cut Off' (his first since 2017) set for release in March. A more dance floor focused album than his previous full length releases 'The Cut Off' will be accompanied by an extensive world tour of live and DJ performances, while his seminal Perc Trax imprint will reach two milestones; it's twentieth year anniversary and it's one hundredth vinyl release.
Review: Seven years after Bitter Music, Perc returns with his fourth studio album. The Cut Off is bookended with the gentle ambience of "Can You Imagine" and the droning "Calcify"- and includes other divergences like the jittery electronic soundtrack on "Heartbeat Popper". "Milk Snatchers Return" also presents another unexpected turn as Perc fuses atmospheric synths with dense tribal drums. But his focus soon turns to this signature sound. The sharp percussive shapes of "Static", which features Sissel Wincent on vocals, is an industrial techno anthem in waiting. And the intense acid of "Cold Snap" and the pounding kicks and heads-down rhythm on "Full Goblin" are reminders that few producers do forward-looking, impactful techno as well as Perc.
Review: Perc teams up with KBK boss Sissel Wincent for one of this year's most memorable techno releases so far. The title track features Perc's typical steel-edged drums and relentless percussion. But what really sets the track apart are Wincent's vocals. Repetitive and hypnotic, they have a nihilistic quality that make "Static" nothing short of compelling. There is an alternate dub version. As its title suggests the main vocal is stripped out. However, Perc retains a fragment of the original vocal and lets it unravel over grainy drums and a pounding, driving rhythm. Even the most purist techno fans are sure to be won over by this release.
