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. A DJ since 1996, 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-hour party spot, The Works. He performed at both 2004’s Movement festival as well as 2006’s Detroit Electronic Music Festival, and has shared the decks with world-famous DJ’s such as Daniel Bell, Steve Bug, Jan Krueger, Matthew Dear 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, renowned for their brazen and intricate approach to techno in Detroit. Now based in NYC, he works closely at The Bunker with fellow Detroit DJ Derek Plaslaiko, as well as starting his own monthly, Down, focusing on the deeper, sexy, more heady side of techno and house. 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.
