Silent Phase

Although he’s released barely a 12-inch annually and only an individual studio full-length since getting his begin in 1990, second wave Detroit techno artist and DJ Stacey Pullen has already been among the techno mecca’s leading contemporary artists. Nearer to Kenny Larkin and Derrick May in his strategy, Pullen’s drive to revive the spirituality and spirit of techno numbers him like a classicist within the widest feeling (although his disdain for the analog audio of early Detroit ranges him sharply from techno’s older college). Living the Engine City club picture as a youngster, Pullen started DJing in early stages, attracted to the new-school machine music of Kraftwerk, Tangerine Fantasy, and Soft Cell. Although his fascination with production started early, his 1st opportunity behind the planks didn’t come before early ’90s, when Derrick Might gave him an internal track on the business he was eager to escape. Learning studio room technique through Might and the many projects that arrived with the latter’s Transmat label studio room, Pullen began liberating material 1st as Bango, after that Kosmik Messenger and X-Stacy, before concentrating on his current nom de plume, Silent Stage. Known for fusing the greater musical areas of home and garage right into a steadfastly techno platform, Pullen’s complex, frequently tribal-sounding compositions possess proven important on several fronts, from deep home to hardcore. His 1995 full-length A Theory of Silent Stage made an appearance on Transmat/R&S, while a Kosmic Messenger compilation premiered on Elypsia 2 yrs later on. In 1998, Pullen authorized a contract using the electronica label Astralwerks and continuing working on materials.
