There are not many originals like Pascal F.E.O.S. You will have to search intensively to find one like him - one of those who started earlier and is longer in the game than most of the others. Pascal F.E.O.S. is what magazines like to call a “true original”: he is part of the old-school, of those, who learned their skills from scratch. You can feel immediately that this “old-school” consciousness is living in every inch of his body . No matter if you are getting to know him as a DJ behind a set of turntables or if you hear one of his many productions - the impact, that Pascal F.E.O.S. has on others, is truely original.
Pascal has devoted more than seventeen years of his life to electronic music and during that time, he has always stayed true to his roots. From the first sporadic DJ assignments (in a time when DJing only meant to fill the space with people and to get them to order drinks at the bar), on to his recent solo album, one can find a style-defying continuity, the essence of a certain minimalism, which links all of his works together. His path has led him through many phases: the first contact with clubmusic already happened in the early Eighties through house and disco, soon to be followed by the omnipresent sound of EBM and finally the very successful and genre-defying years with his trance projects Resistance D. (Harthouse) and Sonic Infusion (Eye Q). Shortly after this, he moved his sound as a DJ and as producer more and more towards the many styles of club-orientated techno. Since 1995 Pascal is celebrating his special pascal feos biounderstanding of techno music on his labels Elektrolux, HeyBabe and Planet Vision which he formed with his long-time partner Alex Azary. Only on year after this, another label called PV was added to the family. As one of the world’s leading outlets for progressive rhythmic techno PV is mainly dedicated to F.E.O.S.’ DJ demands, skills and experiences, that gained him a huge reputation as one of the most frequently booked DJs around. With the creative input of Pascal as a true pioneer on the techno circuit for more than 15 years the word spread and the demand followed. Focusing strictly on DJ tools for him and his fellow label mates it didn’t take long to create a very unique sound philosophy and establish PV and its artists as a driving force within the global techno movement. With its five year anniversary just passing, it became more than clear that the sound of Pascal F.E.O.S. definetely belongs in a category of its own.
