Contact In Tokyo
2019
Bruno Pronsato's productions often appear very sophisticated, almost avant-garde for an advised audience and have influenced a large part of the techno minimalist producers of the past two decades. An artist with incredible talent who breaks the barriers of the genre. What we know less about Bruno Pronsato are his live performances which, unlike his productions, are accessible and generous. Groove and sexy lives to dance. The idea of this disc was to show this side of Bruno. This disc was recorded live during a concert at the legendary Club Contact in Tokyo with Fumiya Tanaka. While recorded live this record remains good Dj tool. This record also marks the return of Logistic records after almost 10 years of absence.
About the artist
Born in 1974, Austin, TX, USA
Lives and works in Berlin, Germany
Bruno Pronsato (aka Steven Ford) has been subverting expectations within techno’s upper echelons since 2003. A former speed-metal drummer with a serious appreciation for 12-tone composers, Pronsato began creating electronic music in 1999 under the moniker Bobby Karate. In 2003 he released, Hot Trips, Cold Returns. However, later that year, Ford transferred his focus for advanced tone-bending into the experimental-techno realm, as evidenced by Pronsato’s debut 12”, Read_Me (Orac Records). Pronsato followed that with the acclaimed full-length Silver Cities (Orac), a phenomenal derangement of dance-music tropes and an ear-tricking delight on headphones. Exceptional reviews in XLR8R, The Wire, The Stranger, and various European zines led to interest from elite labels worldwide, including Canada’s Musique Risquee, which issued the Ape Masquerade EP in 2005. A powerful, exciting set at Montreal’s 2005 Mutek festival has furthered Pronsato’s ascendancy within avant-techno circles.
