The gleam of cosmic light reflects on polished surfaces, sometimes tracing long smooth curves, other times ending in edges, outlining a powerful machine that pierces a path between the gravitational pull of a black hole and the attraction of a newly-born star\u2019s brightness. If Lewis Fautzi\u00b4s sound could be captured in material form, it would look something like this.<\/p>\n
You can draw a similar parallel to his career so far. Lewis Fautzi has had a meteoric ascension in the global techno scene like a projectile fired into space at the speed of light. Establishing the norm of releasing on well-respected labels, in 2013 his first noteworthy edition came on Soniculture, a label from his home country Portugal.
\nFautzi then started a lineage of releases on classic techno label Slam\u00b4s imprint Soma Quality. His first release on the label was the powerful \u2018Turn\u2019 EP, followed by the trippy \u2018Binary\u2019 which received an Oscar Mulero remix. The third release for Fautzi on Soma was the relentlessly undulating \u2018Range\u2019 before cumulating in his 2014 debut album \u2018The Gare Album\u2019, named after the Porto club which has served as his creative impulse and the launch platform for his career.
\nHis reputation growing with every release, early support came from the legendary Jeff Mills. Playing multiple productions of his in a single set, it was the definitive seal of approval for a promising creator beginning to define his sound and style.<\/p>\n
By 2015 and still at just Fautzi\u2019s catalogue had exploded: two EPs on Figure; two releases on Pole Group which including an EP of originals remixed by Exium and Kwartz; a single on the \u2018Unknown Landscapes Vol.2\u2019 compilation; a track on Warm-Up (Oscar Mulero providing the remix); and on his own beloved Faut Section imprint, a collaboration with P\u00e4r Grindvik that led to an Oscar Mulero EP with two Lewis Fautzi remixes. Fautzi also dropped a second album on Soma, \u2018Space Exploration\u2019, full of highly conceptual material, as personal as it feels alien, where Fautzi displayed his insatiable thirst for musical knowledge and exploration by broadening his horizons towards more ambient and experimental sound forms.
\nFast-forward to 2019 where Fautzi has now produced four albums: \u2018The Gare Album\u2019, \u2018Space Exploration\u2019, \u2018The Ascension Of Mind\u2019 and most recently \u2018Insanity Department\u2019 on Faut Section, a visionary showpiece outside of the world of Techno. Fautzi also holds more than ten new EP\u2019s on spearhead labels including Pole Group, Bpitch Berlin, Warm Up Recordings, Soma and Figure, and has provided the selection and mix for Polegroup\u2019s \u2018Unknown Landscapes Vol.6\u2019. Outside of the studio and Fautzi has provided interstellar experiences as both a DJ and as a live-act, on dancefloors such as Tresor, Gare, Lux Fr\u00e1gil and of course Berghain, to name a few.<\/p>\n
Lu\u00eds Gon\u00e7alves (Fautzi\u2019s real name) hails from the small town of Barcelos, Portugal. He lives and breathes Techno. not only in his passion for production but also in his perpetual study and absorption of the art form in all its perspectives. Fautzi takes hold of an arsenal of ideas and notions and synthesizes these into his own sounds whilst adhering to the fundamentals, his productions and sets creating a truly magnetic force that appeals to Techno heads of all persuasions. There are the Mills-ian cosmic tones, the subterranean echoes of Berlin, the impact of British industrialists and the peculiar groove of the Spanish scene, but everything has that definitive Lewis Fautzi stamp.<\/p>\n
The growing amplitude of his vision, the maturity and depth of his output from the beginning and the recognition of his peers from so early on has continuously demonstrated Lewis Fautzi\u00b4s vision. We simply wonder, where his explorations will take him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
