From his roots in Venezuela to his current base in Barcelona, Luis Garban’s sonic journey began in the early 2000s, drawn by the arcane combo of IDM, jungle, and hardcore swirling through the ether. Unspooling ribbons of breaks-laced rave as Cardopusher, his work soon evolved toward darker, stranger inclinations – a toothsome fusion of icy wave, acid-soaked EBM, technoir, and leftfield reggaeton intertwined with flair and a fervour for the flavor of experimentation.

In 2002 he brought forth the new moniker of Safety Trance, collaborating with Rosalía and Planningtorock and most recently unveiling the audio-visual experience 𝘌𝘭 𝘈𝘭𝘮𝘢 𝘘𝘶𝘦 𝘛𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘫𝘰 on Boysnoize Records. Borne from a mind-meeting with acclaimed soundsmith Arca, the infectious combination of cyberpunk post-physicality atmosphere and bangin’ mechanized beats juxtaposed with Arca’s electrifying flow is an anthem for these persistently evolving times.
