Strange Connection is a project that was born in Terrassa city in late 2006 as an idea of Santi Serrate and Roger Salmerón to unify under one name their concerns in the production. Santi and Roger already have spent more than 10 years dedicated to electronic music, as DJ’s under the names Steve Johanson & Deck Larsson, in the production and the direction of their own label Properproud created in 2005. With the creation of Strange Connection unified their ideas in the production shaping the concept of the new electro-techno and EBM. Creating and producing tracks where you can observe their influences -ranging from classics like Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Laisons Dangerous… until new producers such as The Hacker, David Carretta, Millimetric… -and his own style.
At the beginning of 2007 decided to adopt the name of Strange Connection for all their projects, not only for production also for their sesions as DJ’s. Leaving the names of Steve Johanson & Deck Larsson, who for so many years have accompanied them, aside forever. The first appearance of Strange Connection in a club took place on May 11th, 2007 in the club Le Tryptique ( Paris – FRANCE ) in one of his popular Scandale Party (in which played artists like Terence Fixmer, Franz & Shape,… etc.). But their performances as Steve Johanson & Deck Larsson have taken place on dozens of clubs and festivals like Moog, Code Club, etc. They had residences in clubs like Ciclik, Dob Club or Warm Up Room and played with artists like Millimetric, STAMBA Robert Calvin, Delon & Dalcan, Iñaky Marin Jaümetic, SWAT Squad, Freitzetglauben Crew, etc.…
Currently, the 2 Strange Connection members have finished their Live-Act -and played this for first time on 27th March 2009 @Stradust Club (Madrid) for 1000 people- and are working on the production of new tracks and the reappearance of Properproud at the scene stood again as one of the best electro-techno and EBM labels.
Since March 2008 their jobs have seen the light. The EP “A Jewel Between The Trash” for Elektrocuts label ( Madrid ) – (Elektrocuts 005), the first track for their own label Properproud that with the Adriano Canzian, Jonathann Cast and Rubén Montesco tracks will shape the Properproud 005. Some remixes for Toyfriend, BlackLeather Records and Space Factory ( David Carretta’s label)
Strange Connection is still a young project, but it will provide new airs to the scene, good productions and a clear spirit by relaunching a style that currently doesn’t enjoy much public as before.
