Ep. 23 - Eric Cloutier

Eric Cloutier Opens Up About His Past Life as an Internet Troll The
Detroit-Berlin techno traveler now makes musical waves. Like many
DJs of his generation, Eric Cloutier came out of the 90s Detroit
rave scene and migrated east. He first went to New York, where he
became a resident at influential club night The Bunker, and then
made the pilgrimage to Berlin, and currently uses that city as a
home base for a growing calendar of international DJ gigs. The
German city also acts as inspiration towards his fledgling
production career, which culminates this month in his first full
EP, Heuristic, on his own Palinioa label. The record encapsulates
Cloutier's DJ sound that's made him a fan favorite in places across
the world: heady psychedelics secured by a locked-in techno groove.
Cloutier recently sat down with Rave Curious at his flat in Berlin
on a late Sunday night/early Monday morning to talk about his
current life as a traveling DJ, as well as his past in the Detroit
techno scene, where in addition spinning music he spent years as a
moderator on the legendary Detroitluv message board, where the
policy was "If you wanna start that drama, you made that bed."
