Safety Trance
From his roots in Venezuela to his current base in Barcelona, Luis Garban’s sonic journey began in the early2000s, drawn by the arcane combo of IDM, jungle, and hardcore swirling through the ether. Unspoolingribbons of breaks-laced rave as Cardopusher, his work soon evolved toward darker, stranger inclinations – atoothsome fusion of icy wave, industrial sounds, and leftfield reggaeton intertwined with flair and a fervour forthe flavor of experimentation.After contributing production credits on several tracks on Arca ́s “KiCk” series like “Prada/Rakata” and “KLK”feat. Rosalía, he brought forth the new moniker of Safety Trance, unveiling the audio-visual experience on Boysnoize Records. Borne from a mind-meeting with longtime friend, collaborator andacclaimed soundsmith Arca, the song is an infectious combination of cyberpunk post-physicality atmosphereand bangin’ mechanized beats juxtaposed with her electrifying vocals.Since then, fast forwarding to 2024, he has released several EP ́s and remixes under his new alias.Standout works includes the critically acclaimed “Lágrimas” (Club Romántico, 2022) and”Arena!”, a recentcollaboration with Sega Bodega. Additionally He has collaborated with a diverse array of like-minded artistssuch as Isabella Lovestory, DJ Florentino, LSDXOXO, Virgen María, VTSS, La Goony Chonga and Iceboy Violet.
