Extract CDV
Extract CDV is a 4 tracks serie extracted from the Live At Club Der Visionäre to be released each month before the full release due to April, 15th 2022
The Live at Club Der Visionäre is, perhaps, a continuation of the Live at Contact in Tokyo: the stripped backed accessibility of Bruno's live sound. But this one is fresher and bigger. The things we loved about his live sets are still intact - the spontaneity, grooviness and sexiness. Shakers and snares galore. Bruno’s flow keeps you on the dance floor like always. However, With Live at Club Der Visionäre there are newer elements: stronger sound, bigger bass lines. What stands out the most here may be the frequent use of his vocals. It seems like they have always been there, but now they are more pronounced, full and warm. This is new, but oddly familiar.

About the artist
Bruno Pronsato
Born in 1972, 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.
