Terrence Fixmer
Terence Fixmer is one of France’s most illustrated characters of the techno scene, of which he has been at the forefront for over 10 successful years. Bringing his dark, atmospheric sound to prestigious dance floors that range from Berlin’s mecca of techno to Paris ‘ Rex club. He released many maxis on prestigious labels such as Gigolo, Novamute, Datapunk, Different, Dave Clarke’s White Noise Rec. and Music Man; as well as remixes for various techno gods, from Sven Väth to Dave Clarke, DJ Hell, Radio Slave…
 
Terence Fixmer’s sound deftly avoids repetition by developing soundscapes that appeal to the club crowd, whilst still maintaining musical depth and integrity. Somber, defined by surging rhythmical structures, Terence’s music appeals as much to dancing feet, as it does to the searching soul. He above all preserves an original style, an increasingly experimental, simultaneously ruthless and unrelenting interpretation of modern Techno, instantly recognizable.
 
With his distinct music style and personality, Terence caught the attention of label owner Speedy J at a very early stage of the label. His first EP on Electric Deluxe ‘Machine’ (with Speedy J remix) was released in the beginning of 2009, followed by ‘Electric City’ (with Function & Speedy J remixes) in 2010.
 
‘Comedy of Menace’ is Terence new Album on Jochem Paap’s (Speedy J) Electric DeLuxe (sept 2010). ’Comedy of Menace’ is Fixmer’s fourth Album. He has already released two solo albums on DJ Hell’s Gigolo, the seminal ’Muscle Machine’ helped create a masterful fusion between old style industrial/EBM music and techno ( ’Techno Body Music’). As many will know Fixmer to this day also has a side project with Douglas McCarthy, the legendary voice of seminal EBM band Nitzer Ebb. Terence’s third album, ’Fiction Fiction’ released on his own ‘Planete Rouge’ imprint in 2009 veered far more towards deep ambience, emotive and cinematic by turns.
 
With ‘Comedy Of Menace’ Terence Fixmer created a true techno album, with an instantly recognizable pure sound and a deep and dark atmosphere throughout. The album is, in many ways, hypnotizing and mental, yet keeps the energy and effectiveness for the dancefloor. As Fixmer explains: “I wanted that people can feel a soul, a story, and the sound of every track to open up the imagination of the listener, creating images in their minds… It’s an art and a passion, my heart is bumping for electronic sounds. I love when the music is really coming from the heart of the machine, when the sound is pure and raw. Comedy of Menace suggests that although they are funny, they are also frightening or menacing in a vague and undefined way. Even as they laugh, the audience is unsettled, ill at ease and uncomfortable.”
 

Besides the album release, the EP ’Comedy Of Menace pt1.’ was released with a Planetary Assault System mix. New remixes were also done for Niederflur as well as Traversable Wormhole on Chris Liebing’s CLR and one for Echologist aka Brendon Moeller which will appear in the coming months. On top of this, there was an EP on Tiga’s Turbo and a remix for SEI A as well as music collaboration with Prologue to be revealed soon.
