Since his first release on Tronic back in 2013 with his Move On EP, he has since become a valued member of the Tronic family, with multiple releases hitting the Beatport charts, including his first album Intensity on the label back in 2014 which also had a killer remix from Pig&Dan.
Eric is releasing two separate EPs in the run up to the album as sneak peek releases. The first due out on the 19th December with Chord Challenge / Resistance Part 1, which will be followed up in January with the 2nd package including his only collaboration track Loaded Dice on the album with label boss Christian Smith .
The full LP Sound Traveler due out on the 20th February, features 14 original tracks which show Erics eagerness for experimentation. Providing full bodied beats and rolling basslines, closing the gap between tech-house and techno.
Fans of those heavy hitters, wont be disappointed with tracks such as Circus (Destroyed) bubbling up slow with a thick bassline and climatic drums and kicks. However, we see his more melodic side in the mix with atmospheric builders such as Loaded Dice whilst Busy Man and Sound Traveler bring some future electronica into the mix.
Originally set up in 1994, Christian Smith’s Tronic holds a special place in techno circles. A leading force in shaping a less purist techno sound Tronic was amongst the first labels to embrace sounds from house and techno to create records that DJ’s from both scenes would play.
