FABRICE LIG BIO
Fabrice Lig is considered by his peers & techno fans around the globe as a world class producer. He is well known for his particularly funky use of Roland's sh-101 analog synth, and for his especially emotional and personal melodies and harmonies.
There is no doubt that after more than 10 years of self teaching of production processes, complex midi programming and harmonies, Fabrice's sound is unique and recognisable between the thousands of weekly techno releases.
Demonstrations of that skill appear on cream of the cream techno labels such as KMS (Kevin Saunderson) & 7th city records (Dan Bell) from Detroit, F-Communications (Laurent Garnier) from Paris, Raygun records from Hamburg, Playhouse records from Offenbach and most recently on the finest Berlin Based label, Kanzleramt (Heiko Laux).
It was 1988 when Fabrice was touched by his first Dance music shock - "I was 15, on a dance floor of a Belgian club when I heard Big Fun from Kevin Sauderson's Innercity project. It was an emotional shock, I've never felt that kind of powerful emotion before. The day after, a friend of mine who used to work for a radio station told me that it was called Techno music. It was my first contact with Detroit electronic music".
After his first DJ and production experiences under the Interwaves and Bug Orchestra nicknames, it was the end of 1998 when Fabrice rose to the rank of an artist of Detroit's music history, to the praise of Mad Mike himself, thanks to his classic remix of E-Dancer's Banjo track on KMS: "Fabrice is a part of Detroit music's history by being the first white producer to record on KMS, and the first double groove recording from NSC".
After that point, Fabrice's career drew the regular attention of the International Techno Community, thanks to many critically acclaimed releases:
From his classic "Justice", "Escape from Nowhere" or "Galapagos" tracks on Raygun records to the "even deeper EP" with his peer Titonton Duvante on Detroit's 7th city records, from the "Greed" remix for Laurent Garnier to his acclaimed first album for his Soul Designer project on F-Communications and dozens of other productions and remixes, Fabrice has built a solid discography and reputation, confirmed by his reknowned appearances on the best worldwide club & festival Line ups. (Fabric London, Fuse Brussels, Loft Barcelona, Sub Club Glasgow, The End, famous Respect! Parisian parties, Sonar Festival, world famous official Montreux Jazz Festival, Bourges festival (On stage with Jean-Michel Jarre), plus some tours in US, Canada, Japan and the whole of Asia).
Some recent highlights of 2003 are the already classic "Meet you in Brooklyn" EP on Playhouse records, the "Universal Tech" & "Los Picaros" EPs on the newly signed to world class techno label, Kanzleramt.
All these works in 2003 could be considered as teasers when compared to the forthcoming new album due to be released on Kanzleramt, April 26th 2004 - which will probably be the year of Fabrice Lig and Melodic Techno.
