ERIC CLOUTIER 

(THE BUNKER | DOWN) NEW YORK CITY

In a genre and movement all too predictable with the same fifty records playing forever on a continuous loop, Eric Cloutier is quietly making himself stand out amongst Detroit’s next generation of producers and DJ’s. A DJ since 1996, he began on the same circuit of Detroit parties and clubs most have traveled, eventually establishing residencies at Ann Arbor’s Necto and Detroit’s prominent after hours party spot, The Works. He performed at both 2004’s Movement festival as well as 2006’s Detroit Electronic Music Festival, and has shared the decks with world-famous DJ’s such as Daniel Bell, Steve Bug, Jan Krueger, Matthew Dear and Ryan Elliott. In 2005, he was handpicked as a chosen replacement for the next batch of DJ’s at Detroit’s monthly “Untitled” parties, renowned for their brazen and intricate approach to techno in Detroit. Now based in NYC, he holds a residency at The Bunker with fellow Detroit DJ, Derek Plaslaiko, and has started his own monthly, Down, focusing on the deeper, sexy, more heady side of techno and house. Tasteful yet mildly abrasive, his blend of minimal techno infused with dub sensibilities firmly entrenches his sound in Detroit’s rich past while looking towards the future.

The last decade of Jay Tripwire have sold 250,000 vinyl records and he has 100+ releases and remixes. His productions have been called “a DJ’s dream packed with the finest tools from the trade” by URB, and that he’s “responsible for some of the most exciting underground house music to come out of North America in recent years” by DJ Magazine. He even has bass patches on numerous synths named after him to emulate his signature bass. Jay’s productions have been featured on numerous commercially released mix CD’s, notably from Cocoon, Fabric, Renaissance, Journeys by DJ, Ultra & Bedrock by many major artists, and is supported by a diverse spectrum of dance culture from house luminaries such as Doc Martin and Mark Farina to techno legends such as MR C and Laurent Garnier to progressive innovators as John Digweed and Danny Howells that illustrates Jays long term mass appeal amongst dj’s and fans alike.
