When AKA Carl reached this point he wanted to develop his skills in music production and the music industry. He attended a CPD in the music industry at Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA) in 2005; this then allowed him to further study for a degree in Sound Engineering and Design at Manchester’s School of Sound and Recording (SSR). Whist studying AKA Carl worked in the Technics DJ Academy and worked on successfully establishing his Techno label SUB CULT as well as fine-tuning his own style of mixing and producing.

Now Aka Carl, is since been an established household-brand in the techno scene. Besides his work as a producer, his highly acclaimed label Sub Cult also has caught the eyes and ears of the very artists that influenced him at the beginning of his career. Techno giants like Ben Sims, Jeff Mills, Paul Mac, Vestax, Dave the Drummer, Preach, A. Paul, Pedro Delgardo and lots more have supported him, his label and/or shared the stage with him. He consistently released quality music, plays uplifting and powerful sets and leads SUB CULT with a clear vision.

The label currently boasts an impressive list of releases both in vinyl and digital format by many respected artists and it is hard to find a techno-set that does not include a SUB CULT production. Check Out His Tracks & Podcasts

Inspired by gloomy landscapes and poisoned reality was born Le Son Du Placard. A heady techno with mental loop overs solid drum and crazy FX. Atmospheres are a central aspect of his music they are the soundscape around which are evolving the different elements bringing some animal life in this strange exoplanet’s wold.

First released on the label Scander ran by Cosmic Boys (Scander/M-nus) in 2014, he quickly got a lot of production for the labels Kaleydo Beats, Yousel records, Redmoon Rec. , Audio Monster, Electrovino, FETT rec., TrueLife rec. and a lot more.

However, these two are a force to be reckoned with in their own right. The Sub Cult label boss Aka Carl has been around the techno block for decades and his imprint was an essential vinyl and digital selection in record boxes from the likes of Dave Clarke, Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Wehbba, Cristian Varela, Eddie Halliwell, Luigi Madonna to name but a few. His consistent quality and distinguished output, whether playing, producing or releasing, set him frequently touring abroad EU and other continents. Fast forward to today and you still rarely hear a set lacking Sub Cult productions. Steel Groves comes in many states & forms such as Single Cell, Subforce (w Jeff F), Rex B, Groove Mekanics (w John Reyes), but the man behind the curtain has shaken the foundations of the underground with his notorious label Capital Techno. Releasing a grand and pounding roster of producers, ranging from newcomers to old cats alike, the only mandatory condition is that their beats were filled with techno tremors with a capital T.

Another thing that connects these two apart from apparent chemical bond of Solid State, is their continuous mutual releasing of records on their respective labels, which started at the beginning of the decade. Both men on a mission also share their religious afflictions to the music & scene, without caring much for the trends or hype that can distort & distract others from the only crucial part of the underground, which is music. This laboratory project will bring about massive collision of mutual visions of techno, which seems to be lost in nowadays repetitions across the research spectrum of electronica. Combined forces in optimal conditions and dark lab coats are delivering a release after release of fresh, pounding and exciting audio output that will surely stand out among the crowd of clinical beats. Solid State welcomes you to a new state of the underground where ideas, zeal, drive and music atoms flow fast, deep and with a purpose
