‘s standards are representative of the pre-social media craze and arguably the old adage of letting music speak for itself. Cloutier’s twenty-plus year commitment has been built upon his integrity as a DJ and authority as a selector. A self-described “record digging psychopath, “ one only has to refer to his mix of highly sought after cuts from Driftwood Records to see the lengths Cloutier will go to in order to procure the perfect selection. This is truly Cloutier’s nature - one of zeal and infatuation towards the warm, dubby, hypnotic house and techno that has come to characterize his sound as well as his masterful ability to bridge the gap between dance music’s past and its future.

An exception to the norm, Cloutier is not one to capitalize on his Detroit origins. Moving to New York in his 20’s, he became a regular face at The Bunker where he began to further define his innate style of body orientated music. Now situated in Berlin, where he often shows up behind the decks of niche alcoves as well as the world’s best clubs, Cloutier’s reputation as an unequivocal, dexterous force is increasingly becoming one of note.

His talents as a producer have also been growing of late, with the establishment of his own imprint Palinoia, Greek for “the obsessive repetition of an act until it is perfected or mastered. ” The label has become the new home and optimization for Cloutier’s evolving undertakings. Through Palinoia, Cloutier manages to further synthesize slick, dubby club music to slide into his DJ sets as well as feature lesser known talent he’s discovered. He’s a DJ for whom quality - above all else - is the watchword.
GTG × Loone |

[ Live Stream ]

We’re thrilled to announce a curated stream at the infamous Loone, located beneath "It’s a Bar" in the heart of Kreuzberg next week.

We invite you to come around, enjoy a cold drink, and settle in for some fine selections.
We are pleased to welcome back Eric Cloutier.

With over 20 years of experience as a DJ and selector, Eric is recognized for his integrity and uncompromising approach to music.
His practice is rooted in a deep commitment to quality and curation.

Originally from Detroit, his career developed through New York’s The Bunker and continues from his current base in Berlin.
He performs regularly in both intimate venues and leading international clubs.

His work as a producer has grown alongside his DJ career. Through his imprint *Palinoia* he refines slick, dubby club music for his own sets and provides a platform for lesser known talent he supports.

Quality remains his guiding principle.

He will share his magic with us in the intimacy of the Saletta.

The English version is in the comments.

2023年来日時のThe Labyrinthでのプレイ
DJの名前も確認せず、danceに興じていた私は
この大きな熱狂に混ざり、踊り続けた。

アーティストを知らないまま、ある種、赤子のような状態で彼の音楽の洗礼を浴びた身としては、それは ブリリアントでエキサイティング な体験だったと言わざるをえない。
肩書や前評判といった、バイアスのないピュアな音楽体験だったし、それはまさに音楽が主役であったし、
フロアは大きな一体感に包まれ何度も歓声が飛びかっていたことをよく覚えている。
後から知った。
それが Eric Cloutier だった。

自らを「レコード掘りのサイコパス」と冗談めかして語るほどのレコードディガー。
入手困難な音源まで含めた膨大なコレクションを持つ彼だからこそ可能なプレイがある。
情熱がそのまま知識量に変換される世界がDJだとすれば、
彼はその最も魅力的な体現者の一人だろう。
そして先に述べたように、こういった一切の情報を知らなかったとしても最高の時間を提供してくれるDJなのだ。

彼の登場は、2日目のフロアの熱が最高潮に達するタイミング。
ダンスミュージックのX軸/Y軸つまるところ、
過去と現在/ジャンル的幅を軽やかに超えていくプレイは
MATRICARIAが目指すものを体現してくれるはずだ。

Just another clip from my upcoming album...
Roster Update!

We're very happy to welcome to our ranks!

Cloutier’s twenty-five-plus-year commitment has been built upon his integrity as a DJ and authority as a selector. A self-described "record digging psychopath," his infatuation remains in the warm, dubby, hypnotic techno and house that has come to characterize his sound. His encyclopedic knowledge combined with his masterful ability on the decks bridge the gap between dance music’s past and its future.

His talents as a producer have also been growing. With the establishment of his own imprint Palinoia, the label has become the new home for Cloutier’s evolving undertakings, with exciting releases outlined this year, as well as giving him a platform to encourage and promote others whose productions have caught his ear and passed his litmus test for quality.

Welcome, dear Eric!

Another little preview of the upcoming album from me...
Ligrothism (noun): the art of diversifying one's life experiences and intentionally stepping outside of a comfort zone to create more interesting, better stories to tell.

One of the tracks on my new album I'll be releasing in the next months, this one will probably surprise a lot of my fans...
As we enjoy that sparkling thrill that only the lineup announcement can instill, it’s finally time to unveil the sonic journey that will wind their way through the walls of our Forte - and the artists who will masterclass them.

We are beyond excited to truly begin shaping what’s coming next.

#komorebimusicfestival #firstwave #lineup
If you've trolled my SoundCloud over the last week, you may have stumbled upon my re-uploading of the twelve-hour live-stream I did for The Bunker NY during the pandemic. Originally, I thought I had completely lost the file, and it seemed to have been removed from online entirely. As luck would have it...I had found the copy of the stream itself (not my original recording I made in parallel to the broadcast) and decided to reprocess it, chop it up into managable size files, and allow FLAC downloading of the entire show from 2020.

Find yourself in my profile and check the LinkTree for a link to the entire playlist!

Here are six tastes of how that half day went...
