THE TAKE 5 SERIES
Joachim Pastor
Those qualities were immediately visible in Pastor’s early works like ‘Reykjavik’ or ‘Eternity’ released with the Hungry Music label. However, his decision to sign with Armada Music and release new material in 2020 has taken the French producer on a different trajectory. On his first studio album titled ‘Greater Message,’ he explores a more dynamic approach to techno and searches for a dynamic and well-rounded dance sound that touches hearts and awakes passions.
Pastor’s unique talents can be appreciated from several singles from the album, such as ‘Saint Louis’ and ‘Sol Invictus.’ Those happy tunes have all the makings of future club hits, yet they pay homage to the golden age of dance music. As a young author with many productive years ahead of him, Pastor is one of the best hopes that techno has of a true mainstream revival.
