about

Long-time Smartbar resident and American techno stalwart Jeff Derringer returns with his first release in four years. Jeff's Oktave Records is re-born with ‘Automatic,’ an EP with its sights set for the heart of the dance floor.

Since 2010, Jeff has released his unique brand of techno on such high-powered labels as Electric Deluxe, Soma and Perc Trax, while touring the world behind his sound. His Oktave events have been a staple of Chicago’s Smartbar for the last dozen years, and have helped build a resurgence in the Windy City’s techno scene.

In 2018, Jeff went on medical hiatus, and soon found himself in the swamp of the Covid pandemic. After passing through the gauntlet of the last four years undaunted, Jeff has returned with an exciting new direction. The three tracks on 'Automatic' are no-nonsense shots across the bow, built for club devastation; fast-paced, analog-steeped beats made, as Jeff describes it, with as little equipment as possible. ‘Automatic,’ ‘Systemic,’ and ‘Enigmatic’ show Jeff at the peak of his powers, ready to take on the new decade.

Oktave Records started in 2017 as an offshoot of Jeff Derringer's long-running event series at Chicago's Smartbar nightclub. The label was built to showcase Jeff's original compositions and those of like-minded producers. Artists on the label to date include Japan's Iori and Tbilisi's Sophia Saze. Jeff's 'Automatic' EP is the fifth release on the label.
