Perc

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, Unpolished, Mayday, Reaktor, Unsound, Verknipt, Dour, Soenda, 10 Days Off, Extrema and many more.

His podcast for Resident Advisor’s scene-leading mix series and his four Boiler Room performances showcase Perc at his very best and each is a perfect example of his fusion of bleeding edge techno and classic noise and experimental influences.

After a run of singles on scene leading labels including CLR, Stroboscopic Artefacts, Drumcode, Ovum and Electric Deluxe Perc’s debut album ‘Wicker & Steel’ was released in 2011. Following launch parties in New York, Tokyo and London the album picked up a stream of plaudits from the expected dance-press coverage to crossing over into the UK national newspapers. Perc spent 2012 and 2013 diversifying with projects including a collaboration with industrial legends Einstürzende Neubauten, whilst a run of remixes saw him turning in interpretations of artists including Daniel Avery and Surgeon and Factory Floor.

In case anyone thought Wicker and Steel was a lucky first stab at the album format 2014’s ‘The Power & The Glory’ changed that, with the album reaching a wider audience than ever before. In the second half of the year Perc Trax celebrated its tenth birthday with a double album featuring Perc’s first commercially available mix CD plus three vinyl EPs of tracks from the compilation.

2017 saw Perc reach a new heights as his ‘Bitter Music’ LP not only launched an extensive world tour but also produced the biggest track of his career in the shape of the infamous ‘Look What You Love Has Done To Me’, one of the most played techno tracks of that year. After remixing his way through 2018, he revealed his first original release in two years when ‘Three Tracks To Send To Your Ghost Producer’ came out in March 2019.

2020 saw Perc charge into a new decade with headline sets at Unpolished and Vault Sessions in the Netherlands and his first ever gigs in China and Taiwan, plus his debut at New York’s Basement. Three tracks were adapted from his Unpolished live set to create ‘Fire In Negative’ his first full EP release in almost 18 months, being released once again on his own Perc Trax label.

After 18 months in this studio as the UK went through into lockdown, Perc emerged at the end of 2021 reinvigorated and with a new three track EP ‘Greed Dance’ for Perc Trax. This post-pandemic momentum pushed him through 2022 with releases including his own ‘Dirt’ single on Perc Trax in September 2022 and a run of high profile remixes including a radical take of Marc Acardipane’s hardcore classic ‘Pitch-Hiker’.

In 2023 Perc continued with ‘Wave Hammer’ his first full EP since 2021, new remixes of his slow burn classic ‘Resistor’ and the debut performance of his new live show at that year’s Awakenings summer festival. The remainder of 2023 saw Perc writing and producing his fourth artist album.

Released in March 2024 ‘The Cut Off’ was Perc’s first album in seven years and received recommendations from both Resident Advisor and The Quietus, The album was supported by a three month album tour that featuring performances across Europe, Central and South America and the USA culminating in a live performance of the album at Awakenings flagship summer festival.
