Eric Cloutier

Detroit-born, Berlin-based Cloutier returns to his own Palinoia imprint after a four-year absence with three tribal techno hardgroove floor-fillers, each locked into its own groove. This is the sound of someone who's been away and comes back swinging.

Cloutier's production style has always sat in that sweet spot between percussive intensity and hypnotic repetition. Perpetual Booty Grooves Vol. 1 pushes deeper into tribal textures, building layered drums and textural elements that lock you into the dancefloor's rhythm. The grooves here demand movement, no frills, just bodies and beats.

Palinoia's first release in this chapter sees Cloutier reclaim his label with the weight and clarity this moment deserves. A proper return.
