Safety Trance, the alias of Venezuelan-born producer, is a boundary-pushing figure in contemporary club music. Originally emerging under the name Cardopusher, Garbán carved a reputation for fearless experimentation across a wide range of styles, from raw rave mutations to forward-thinking bass explorations. With Safety Trance, he refines this vision into a singular sonic language that blends the intensity of hard club constructions with the infectious pulse of Latin percussion rooted in Raptor House, the psychedelia of warped reggaeton, and the grit of UK-inspired breaks.
Over the years, his work has found a home on influential labels such as Hyperdub, Boysnoize, Club Romantico, and TraTraTrax, and he has collaborated with forward-thinking artists across electronic and experimental spheres. His sets and productions move effortlessly between the underground and the avant-garde, offering a style that is as inviting as it is confrontational—a disorienting yet compelling journey that feels untethered from both geography and genre.
