Electric Rescue - Different Horizonsm (2026)

Electric Rescue's new – and eighth - album "Different Horizons" is a surprising opus with some group collaborations with artists such as Abd Al Malik, Amélie Nilles, Gaspar Claus, Boscaro and his brother Maxime Dangles, to be released in October on Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR label.

In 2026, it’s 36 years of activism with passion. Electric Rescue is considered one of the made-in-France pillars of electronic music but also renowned worldwide. A champion of uncompromising techno, Electric Rescue has forged a strong identity within the electronic music landscape. His productions have been released on labels such as Cocoon, Virgo, Arts, F Communications, COD3 QR, Soma, Sci + Tec, Boys Noize, and of course his own label, Skryptöm.

Also known as a live artist and DJ, he has spent more than two decades traveling the world preaching the good word of techno with both passion and modesty, having had the opportunity to play in mythical clubs including Berghain/Panorama Bar (Berlin), Tresor (Berlin), Weather Festival (France), The Edge (São Paulo), Concrete (Paris), Air Club (Tokyo), Moog (Barcelona), Club 69 (Edinburgh) and Amsterdam Dance Event to name just a few. His artistic effervescence is also the result of good Skryptöm Records management. As well as running the label, he's involved in organising parties in Paris, with its Skryptöm residency at Kilomètre 25, Glazart, Rex Club, 1988 live club in Rennes and its famous Play parties in unusual and secret venues around the French capital. Considered a discrete but efficient techno activist, Electric Rescue has been infusing his entire work with the values of the rave scene which he has been adopting and defending (exchanging, sharing, brotherhood, freedom, underground culture), never blinded by the glitz of the DJ business.

Across the album, Electric Rescue stretches beyond the confines of straight techno, using rhythm as the anchor for a broader, more cinematic sound. Opener "Screen As Window On World" sets the tone with a slow-burning collision of atmosphere and rhythmic force, before the album moves through darker, more physical terrain. Tracks such as "Les Démons Périodiques", "Camden" and "Colors Community" channel his instinct for hypnotic propulsion, but there is a looseness to the production throughout: percussion splinters and shifts, textures accumulate and dissolve and moments of melody emerge. Elsewhere, "Ce Violent Silence", "Le Marais" and "Imperfection" allow more space in the arrangements, revealing an album of tension, texture and emotional weight as well as dancefloor impact. "Bréhat", "Cancale" and "Un Si Joli Printemps" move between electronic details and more expansive, atmospheric passages, while "Her Voice" brings human presence to the foreground, setting an exposed, repeated vocal against intricate electronics and a quietly insistent pulse. By the time "Sur D’être Aimé" gives way to the sprawling closing piece "Different Horizons", the album feels like a journey through different environments, abstraction and moments of unexpected beauty, revealing a wider and more personal dimension to his sound. 2026 promises to be another great year for Electric Rescue.
