Slam Radio 581 – Chontane Tracklist
With Ukrainian roots growing up in Berlin, Chontane started playing in his city’s clubs at the mere age of 19. Starting things off with a residency at the Krach nights in Humboldthain and now having played for some of the most prestigious clubs such as Basement, KALT, Tresor, Radion & BRET in Amsterdam, Blitz, Fuse club in Brussels, and RSO in Berlin, Chontane can be increasingly found blurring the lines between techno, breaks, and electro in cities around the word.
Part of the new wave of producers more invested in sound design and razorsharp productions than ever before, Chontane’s early studies in music and sound design allow for surgical precision; his fascination for sound in general can be heard in his records. He gives body to his work and has been pulling together tribal and groovy techniques inspired by the classic 90s and early 2000s club records to create density and effect on the dancefloor. His work stands at a stylistic crossroads between various dance genres, easily slipping into just about anyone’s track list if their goal is to get people moving.
Since his debut release in 2018, Chontane has garnered praise and support, leaving a lasting impact on the industry. Notably, he has released two highly anticipated records on ARTS Records, showcasing his versatility and talent. Additionally, he launched his own label, TANE, and recently released a second EP on the rapidly rising label, Mutual Rytm, associated with Shadow & Obscure Shape.
With his roots grown deep in the world’s techno capital, Chontane’s career is well on its way to becoming international, having joined the Paramount roster this year. Ready to push boundaries and surprise music enthusiasts with unexpected blends to fire off his erratic taste in music, Chontane’s mixes and productions represent today’s necessity for the perfect balance between consistent innovation and guaranteed efficiency
