Yannick Labbé

Yannick is not new to the scene. But somehow, he is – at least under his own name: until the projects’ death in 2014 Yannick Labbé was the producer and one of the two DJs that toured global dancefloors as Trickski. Today, after the project has been put to sleep, Yannick has picked up the thread where he left it with his first release in 2004, and continues on his own path. His current productions are motivated by the search for what he describes to be “the violence in disco” – this darker, undefined, very small no man’s land that transcends happy and organic disco-sounds into what could almost be called techno. Yannick brought this sound concept to life with his Supersingle on the Leipzig-based label O*RS – especially with the track “Arpeggiate” that was played by artists like John Talabot, Marvin & Guy, Solomon and many more. As a DJ, Yannick delivers an infectious and very musical freestyle-approach, spanning from techno to vintage classics, held together by a strong foundation of electronica. And yes, he still sweats a lot when he plays. Club-appearances Yannick has played at venues such as Golem (Hamburg), Distillery (Leipzig), Fabric (London), Cookies (Berlin), Hive Club (Zürich), Goa (Madrid), Showcase (Paris), Kunstkantine (Magdeburg), Cirq (Venice), Club 11 (Amsterdam), APT (New York), La Santanera (Playa del Carmen), FFour (Melbourne), Hanoi Sound Stuff (Hanoi), Matter of Fact (Bukarest), 1500 m2 (Warsaw), Studio 9 (Vilnius) and many more smaller and bigger venues.
