A major yet discreet figure on the French electronic scene for almost fifteen years, Cédric Steffens, aka Canblaster, is an artist universally respected and admired by his producer and DJ peers, as well as beyond the club circuit and niche labels.

He started out his career by producing soundtracks for video games while he was still in high school, before immersing himself in techno, UK garage, rave and house at the end of the 2000s. He quickly established a name for himself both as a solo artist and as a member of the legendary quartet Club Cheval, alongside Myd, Panteros666 and Sam Tiba. He laid the foundations very early on for what would become Canblaster’s signature sound: hyperactive and romantic at the same time, obsessed with the miracle of groove and the idea of the future.

Considered by many as a gifted electronic composer and producer, as well as being prolific and a perfectionist in equal measures, he released heavy-hitting EPs on Marble, Bromance and Pelican Fly. Building on these highly acclaimed releases, he worked with Lido, Theophilus London and even Kanye West, and remixed Charli XCX, A.G. Cook and Cashmere Cat.

In 2016, he locked himself in his studio, surrounded by his new modular synthesizers. The result from these past few years is LIBEROSIS. A huge, long-term project which will embody — in different phases — the breadth and versatility of the artist as he finally emerges from this long period of experimentation and maturation.
