It was a journey that saw him hone his talents as a Producer & DJ and most crucially tune into the incendiary elements that shake a dance floor. After spells in Ibiza, Leeds and North Wales, Retrac is now settled in Manchester working full time as a mixing engineer and releasing his own productions as an outlet for his thoughts. Rewind to 2007 and it was at Ibiza’s seminal DC 10 that the elements of hedonism and sophistication entwined to leave their greatest impression on the young producer. It was there in the Balearic sunshine, during endless days of partying that Carter intensely studied the union of House and Techno – memorizing the make up of the tracks that ignited the club. After relocating to Leeds from North Wales, Pete delved deep into the city’s club scene, with the rushing intensity of Derrick Carter, Raresh and Daniel Bell leaving an indelible mark on his mind whilst travelling down to London frequently to play as Acid Casuals with Cian Ciaran of the Super Furry Animals. At just 22, the experience of playing on the same bill as Four Tet, Caribou and James Ruskin primed Carter's ability to rock a dance floor. The fuse was lit at 14 by Berlin Love Parade tapes and by age 17 Retrac had developed a formidable range of skills that would see him rocking house and techno crowds from London to Northern England and Wales. Combining his hedonistic urges with the subtle sensibilities of space and texture, with each production Retrac looks to push both his own boundaries and the genre he loves. Either flying solo or combining with long term friends Dudley Strangeways or Cian Ciaran from Super Furry Animals as the Acid Casuals, Carter looks to apply deep musical sensitivities with a raw outpouring of energy. His style has seen him signed to Resopal Shchallware and Tiefschwarz’ new Souvenir Plus imprint and after becoming a member of the Indigo Raw family (Barcelona) has had his work remixed by the likes of Ethyl, Jarno (Rush Hour), Skoozbot (Minus), Djebali and Rio Padice along the way. His productions have gained support and plays from artists such as Delano Smith, DJ Koze, Hot Chip and DJ Sneak along the way. Hours spent on the dance floor have primed Retrac’s ability to easily move between soaring, driving techno and chugging, grooving deep house, pooling his influences and whipping them up with a commanding musical understanding. With a host of musical projects lined up ranging from producing bands to more collaborations with other artists, as well as a release coming up on Chez Damier's Balance Alliance in his own name, Retrac continues to explore his world of music, each discovery serving to further establish himself as a genuine force.̸Retrac - Lost (Myself) EP w/ Djebali & Dominus remixes (Indigo Raw) Retrac - Shades EP w/ Jarno, Ethly and Hit and Miss remixes Retrac - Always An Issue w/ Rio Padice + Mirus remixes (Indigo Raw) Retrac - Don't Resist EP (Resopal Schallware) Retrac feat.
