PUSTNI SMETNJAK x CANBLASTER
Cédric Steffens odrašča v Douaiju, blizu Lilla na severu Francije. Šolani pianist v elektroniko skrene po poti videoiger: Sega Saturn ga okuži z glasbo in sound designom. Sprva sklada kar na PlayStationu. Njegove kompozicije so hitro opažene – čeprav zložene na konzoli, pravice zanje kmalu odkupijo za uporabo v videoigrah. Ko preklopi na Fruity Loops, so na heavy rotationu Prodigy, Cassius in predvsem Basement Jaxx. Nato razišče Detroit, Baltimore in UK ter se ponovno vrne na Japonsko k Yuzu Koshiru, komponistu Sonica the Hedgehoga in Streets of Rage. Z drugo francosko revolucijo, ki ustoliči Justice in Ed Banger, Cédric sestavi prvi komad za klubska plesišča. Kmalu zatem združi moči z Mydom, Samom Tibajem in Panterosom666 – rojen je Club Cheval. Druščina, ki v začetku 2010 izda istoimenski EP debi s po eno skladbo vsakega, do koncu leta že prebiva v Parizu in izdaja na najbolj vročih založbah. Na čelu kartela, ki postane vsesplošni hot tip blogov, je Canblaster. Briljira z igrivostjo, ki se prehiteva s kompleksnostjo kompozicije, neugnanimi remiksi, ki pozabljajo originale, ritmičnimi in harmoničnimi paradoksi s smislom, ter breakdowni, dropi, dizalicami in klimaksi, ki tvorijo glasbeni jezik, ki spominja na vse in nič hkrati. Ko Canblaster v remiksu Drop The Limeovega komada Hot as Hell izvede manever, ki ga kasneje poimenuje »žepni Enio Morricone«, se znajde v epicentru hajpa. Sledijo komad Clockworks, EP na Marble, remiksi za Ruska, Erola Alkana in Boys Noize, The Counta in Sindena, kolaboracije s Crookers, Ritonom in Mumdance, Club Cheval predelave za Underworld in Birdy Nam Nam. Canblasterjev zvok povzame garage, grime, 2-step, ghetto-tech, old school electro, 90ies R&B, new jack swing, japonski pop, eurodance, happy hardcore, Jeffa Millsa, zgodnje The Prodigy, Ballroom, Todda Edwardsa, LFO, celoten seznam z Daft Punkovih Teachers ter brezmejne virtualne poljane videoiger in tako ustvari histerijo, ki se diabolično približa izkušnji, imenovani »zdaj«. Kot 4chan na kokainu.
Boys Noize & Erol Alkan feat. Jarvis Cocker – Avalanche (Canblaster remiks)
Canblaster/Schlachthofbronx – Wave And Wine (Canblaster & Myd Remix)
