DAS GLOW (Electro/Techno - FR)
Das Glow is the secret weapon of Institubes. He subtly succeeds in giving Mr. Oizo, James Holden and Wiley a run for their money all within the same track. Das Glow, whose real (French) name is Damien Granier, was found in 82 in Archangel St Michael's cathedral in Moscow by a couple of Russian officials. From the age of ten years old, Damien then served as an apprentice in one of the biggest jewellers in the city before leaving in 1995 on a tour of Europe which ended in Paris. From here the story becomes less exotic when Damien settles in France and buys his first set of decks. One year later, when he asked a friend how to go about playing in a club, he replied "What you need is a record". So, Damien decided quite simply to try his hand at production. All the money set aside by his grandmother since his birth went into buying a computer and the rest on a sound card. At the first party organised by Institubes, "Alors les filles, On se promène", Damien saw Orgasmic mixing and decided that this was for him. In September 2004, Institubes received a rough demo by mail. It was love at first sight and marked the birth of Das Glow. Barely two years later, Weiss Gaz EP was released followed by his latest hit "Sunburnt" in 2008.
