Primal Instinct Is The Label Sharing The Science Behind Techno
Clär founded the label Primal Instinct in collaboration with Alarico and The Chronicle.
Fnk duo Assault Clär and Alarico's EP was announced as a timed release, selling twice as many press releases on vinyl.
This week (June 30), the duo whittled down the digital version of the five-song EP to a dozen. The first four tracks, Claire explains, "embodied the sound" she was trying to create on Primal Instinct: organic digital sounds, textures and repetitive patterns.

"The titles are something I've been thinking about for a long time," he told Mixmag . Producers and DJs staged a song on Radio Amsterdam, which caused a panicked reaction from the public. This moment had a profound effect on Claire, who later began to study the science and psychology behind music and thought.
Interested in academic research, he initially defined techno music as "an emphasis on complex groove patterns created through sophisticated yet organic sound design that unites the two antipodes that define the essence of techno: primitivism and creativity".
"Throughout the history of music, people have had a fundamental relationship with drums, percussion and, more importantly, groove," he continues. "Music historians like to call it the 'universal language,' and neuroscientists use syncopation as an example of our instinct for complex rhythmic structures."

He then mixed the frenetic repetition that is a staple of techno music with an emphasis on deep bass sounds that are "attuned to the perception of the human spirit," "the basic drive of dance, both cognitively and subjectively in music".
"I've felt conflicted my whole life because being a DJ/producer is not only tiring, but it's hard when you care about what other people think," he concludes, inspiring the extensive study of Primal Instinct .
"In our society, this profession is considered clowning. The general perception is that a DJ/producer is someone who uses drugs and is forced to play. I have always struggled with this because I grew up in an educational environment. Back to my inner conflict: I try not to let the work I do be in vain.
