Fascinated by the birth of rave and acid house culture in the late eighties & early nineties, Paris/France based duo, Laurent Ash & UK born Neil Curtis, decided to create "Pacific State" a perfect name for some new fresh air in a club scene that really needs it. Inspired and influenced by the underground UK club sound pionneers, we’re talking here about legends like Mike Pickering, Graeme Park, the KLF and L.F.O. the duo has more than one foot at the Hacienda, virtually of course. The key point of their music is the way its produced: the most unconventional possible way, i mean for a band who’s embracing the twenty first century. Technically vintage, something that is so far away from today standards: real drummachines Roland TR-909/808, TB-303 Bassliners, a bunch of Akai S950 samplers, and of course the venerable Atari ST computer. A 200Pounds studio setup, that gets you back to the real world of working hard your music.
