Autarkic describes himself as first and foremost a songwriter but he has also made a name for himself as an international DJ. Over the past three years he has, with great success, played clubs throughout all of Europe. One extra-memorable gig was on last year's edition of Convenanza in the amphitheater in Sète, France. Treble Rebel is his first release on Höga Nord and the slightly psychedelic, sample- and synthesizer-based club music that has become Autarkic's trademark sound is captured by an impeccable production. The music is playful yet stripped down to the essentials and not overloaded. The vocal elements work more as percussive elements than the carrier of the storytelling in the music. If you missed him live this record gives a taste of Autarkic's hypnotic live performances!
