DeFeKT
Ces dernières années, DeFeKT (aka Matthew Flanagan ) était un infatigable défenseur de l’électro et de la techno, en permanence en train de perfectionner son matériel sonore lui valant un succès et une admiration du milieu de la musique électronique. En 2010, DeFeKT publie un album 8 pistes grâce auquel il gagne le soutien de Dave Clarke. Depuis, une série de 12 EP et remix ont vu le jour sur des labels comme Combat recordings, Solar One Music, AC Records, Cultivated electronics, Signal Code, Komish et Electronic Explorations… Passionné par les boîtes à rythmes analogiques et les synthés modulaires, la musique de DeFeKt est une bouffée d’air frais sur la scène électronique actuelle majoritairement dominée par l’ordinateur portable.

DeFeKT (aka Matthew Flanagan) has been a tireless advocate of true electro and techno, steadily honing his hardware based sound that has earned him admirers all through the electronic music community. DeFeKT released a 8 track mini album on long-running Irish label Takeover in 2010 which gained huge support from Dave Clarke; support that has continued ever since. Since then a slew of 12″ eps and remixes have emerged under his DeFeKT and ESS guises on an array of top labels like Electronic Explorations, Komisch, Convex Industries, Solar One Music, AC Records, New Flesh, Cultivated Electronics, Signal Code and Boysnoize Records. He has also established a collaboration with fellow Dublin-based producer and dj, Sunil Sharpe, under the name Tinfoil. So far they have released three well-received 12″s on their own self-titled label, carving out a niche for their unique sound in today’s hard edged techno market. DeFeKT’s long-time devotion to analog drum machines and modular synths make him a leading authority on both, as exemplified in the exciting, dynamic nature of his live sets and productions. In a techno scene now fascinated by hardware and live performance, there are few best placed to show how it’s all done as DeFeKT.
