David Carretta

1967 年,法国马赛 One of the most influential electronic music artists that France has produced, David Carretta returns to The Hacker & Gesaff​elstei​n’s ZONE Records with his new EP, ‘Land of Sin’. Featuring 5 tracks of hard edged electro, analogue techno and retro-​futuri​stic synth workouts, ‘Land of Sin’, shows that 21 years on since his debut release Carretta is still at his creative best. Setting the tone ‘Land of Sin’, draws upon Electro, Techno, New Beat, EBM and Italo Disco to create a grinding, sleazy club classic, the soundtrack to sweat dripping off black rubber walls. Upping the tempo ‘Smash’ draws a direct parallel between classic early ‘90s Trance and early ‘00s Electr​oclash, bringing new life back to both genres. ‘Station to Station’ meanwhile sees Carretta in cosmic mode, a classic Electro rhythm underpins a weightless melody that recalls the likes of both Kraftwerk and classic early ‘90s electr​onica. Then having let us catch our breath Carretta pulls us right back onto the dark heart of the dancefloor with ‘System’, six bruising minutes of Industrial Techno, before ending with a final Electro flourish with the brooding and oppressive ‘Trans​contro​l’. Making his debut in 1993 of the seminal Harthouse label, as Calyptol Inhalant, David Carretta has gone on to release 4 albums, over forty EPs, more than 50 remixes and DJ’ed and performed live all around the world. Along the way Carretta inspired DJ Hell to launch Intern​ational Deejay Gigolos, the label that would reshape electro in the final years of the 20th century and has provided a similar inspiration to the new wave of French electro artists of the ‘00s. Established in 2009 by The Hacker and Gesaff​elstei​n, ZONE Records has gone on to provide a home for some of the most exciting names in electronic music today including the likes of Djedjo​tronic, Maelstrom and Jon Convex.
