In a genre and movement all too predictable with the same fifty records playing forever on a continuous loop, Eric Cloutier is quietly making himself stand out amongst Detroit's next generation of producers and DJ's. He began on the same circuit of Detroit parties and clubs most have traveled, eventually establishing residencies at Ann Arbor's Necto and Detroit's prominent after hours party spot, The Works. He also performed at both 2004's Movement festival as well as 2006's Detroit Electronic Music Festival, and has shared the decks with fellow Detroit DJ's Matthew Dear, Derek Plaslaiko and Ryan Elliott. In 2005, he was handpicked as a chosen replacement for the next batch of DJ's at Detroit's monthly "Untitled" parties, and in 2007, the up-start record label Mood Gadget. Since then he has gone on to be label manager for Subtrak, a true-to-its-roots techno venture slowly making waves amongst fans of Detroit, Minimal, and Dub techno. Since then he has moved to New York City, started his own monthly focusing specifically on the overlooked deeper side of the electronic spectrum, and has been a constant and in-demand fixture in the techno community. Tasteful yet mildly abrasive, his blend of minimal techno infused with dub sensibilities firmly entrenches his sound in Detroit's rich past while looking towards the future.
