Eric Cloutier

Detroit-born, Berlin-based Tresor resident Cloutier delivers a dubby, heady three-tracker on his own Palinoia imprint. The standout 'Eleutheromania' bears the unmistakable weight of heavy Sterac listening sessions - dense, immersive, and built for deep listening.

Cloutier's production here trades immediacy for atmosphere. These are stripped-back cuts that breathe, with dub techno textures folding into themselves, reverb tails stretching across the mix, and low-end frequencies doing the heavy lifting. It's the kind of record that rewards full-volume engagement in the right room.

Apeirophobia marks another considered release on Palinoia, Cloutier's label of choice for exploring the greyspace between dub techno and deep house. A focused EP that proves restraint and space can hit harder than clutter.
