Eric Shans

Born in NJ to a musically minded family, Eric’s earliest obsession with electronic music came from watching hours of new wave videos on MTV, computer game music, and getting his first Casio keyboard on which he would write small tunes and play them back endlessly. Later influenced by industrial, and techno as well, he then began seriously producing music in 1998 and at that time, his earlier sounds ranged from harder edged aggressive sounds to techno influenced synth-pop which were on albums released under the Phenotract moniker (which he still continues to record under) and another recent darkwave/EBM band where he writes and produces for Fermion. While doing this, he has also produced and writes many other tracks suited for the dance floor recorded under his own name on the 3Bridge label. Inspired paradoxically by both late night sounds, and melodic sunset/sunrise sets, he melds together the dreamy, the dirty, the light, and the dark -a formula that moves both the heart and the feet.
