Safety Trance

Born in Venezuela and based in Barcelona, Luis Garban dj/artist/producer aka Safety Trance has spent the last decade touring and creating a wide variety of noisy dancefloor assaults under his Cardopusher alias. Growing up in Caracas during the 80/90s, the latin hemisphere made a big impact on his musical formation which can be noticeable on most of his work. Although he started in the breakcore/rave scene, he’s slowly gravitated toward a raw take on EBM that is no less compelling. As Safety Trance, Garbán is looking to explore different genres and sonic capabilities not necessarily linked to his usual dancefloor output as Cardopusher. His first notably work under this new alias can be heard on Arca´s KiCk series for XL Recordings (co-producing/writing the singles Prada, Rakata, Tiro, Queer and KLK ft. Rosalía among others). In recent years he has been seen collaborating with artists like Boys Noize, Brodinski, Planningtorock and The Horrors to name a few.
