TK001: ‘OFFBEAT’ EP

Trailblazing French producer and one of techno’s top-selling artists, Space 92 announces the launch of his brand-new record label, TAKEOFF. Taking the helm for the first release, the label boss works his magic with ‘Offbeat’, setting the tone for a fresh era of bold, cutting-edge techno.  

 

Blending pulsating, trance-infused beats with swaggering rap vocals, with the ‘Offbeat’ EP Space 92 delivers a sound that’s as hypnotic as it is dancefloor-ready.

“I was immediately attracted to the raw vocals; they had a swag about them that I liked, I felt I could build something around that.” Space 92

“Seeing Offbeat on my own label as its very first release is an incredible feeling. I am very excited, and also a bit nervous, I really hope people will like it!”  Space 92

 

Known for his unique sound – a fusion of trancey techno, acid influences, and 80s sci-fi nostalgia – Space 92 has been a staple on the world stage, played by the genre’s greatest. Standout releases like ‘Planet X’‘The Door’, and ‘Gravity’ have cemented his reputation as a chart-topping powerhouse, while collaborations with artists such as Popof (as one half of ground-breaking hybrid/live act Turbulences), Reinier ZonneveldHi-Lo and Hardwell see him consistently pushing the boundaries of modern techno.
