Conforce is a restless producer from Terschelling, Holland, who
strives only to combine digital and analogue together into
atmospheric, well designed pieces of music, be they of house, techno
or dub descent.With such an honest mission, it’s no wonder the man
known as Boris Bunnik has had continued success recently, with a
number of singles, EPs and albums coming on respected imprints like
Clone, Delsin, Meanwhile and Rush Hour. As a live performer, too, he
is garnering ever more support with gigs everywhere from New York to
Tokyo helping to establish him as one of contemporary techno’s finest
craftsmen.
Since initially being turned on to acid and rave thanks to a tape his
father found in in the nature of the Island of Terschelling, Conforce has been keen to go
his own way.Despite being influenced back then by the likes of GERD,
Dave Angel and Luke Slater (whose records he often spun); early Dutch
rave and techno and, more recently, by peers and friends including
producers and DJs from the northern Dutch techno scene, his music
simply represents a feeling inside of him, rather than any particular
artist, scene or genre.
“I don't tend to think in styles. Good music explains itself.I just
go with the flow and see where the musical elements lead me, so I'm
very versatile: for me, music is just pure self expression so I
naturally reinvent myself with every track I create.I can't do the
same trick twice… I can make techno, deep stuff, dub, ambient, house,
whatever.“Proof of that sonic dexterity comes from the fact that
Bunnik also records as Versalife – a moniker under which he explores
more abstract, experimental and transparent electro for Clone West
Coast Series.
Of course, a Conforce live set is also a very personal expression -
one which manages to find a balance between techno depth and
dancefloor accessibility.Although not afraid of technology and
machines, the human element is an all important aspect to the
Dutchman’s music: deep, pulsating, atmospheric, floating… the list of
superlatives goes on (and those are just the ones tastemaker store
Hardwax deployed when surmising his most recent album). Pin him down
at your peril, though, for whatever you think you can attribute to the
man’s music, it’s likely the artist himself has moved onto a whole
other realm entirely.
“People ask how I create certain tracks… well, they just come out or
they don't.Each one records just a small phase of my life. The next
time I write it could be a totally different feel or vibe.”Whatever
the vibe, though, with credentials as assured as they are, wherever
Conforce decides to go, it will always be worth following…
