Gerard Hanson was born in 1972. He hails from the unlikely environments of Dallas, Texas USA.
Little is known about this producer who seems to have Scandinavian roots. His productions have reflections a with Basic Channel/Chain Reaction sound. His main inspirations are Juan Atkins and Derrick May. His music also has influences from Stefan Robbers, Red Planet and Carl Craig. He found a way where everything came together: Deepness, Minimalism and Soul, the Detroit-Berlin connection.
In 1994 Gerard Hanson and Dan Kurzius started Hardsync, a Magazine dedicated to electronic music reviews and artist interviews. It has been defunct since 1996 as a result of a computer crash. Hardsync was an outlet for several Texas-based electronic music enthusiasts to reach out to others around the world that shared similar musical interests. He released his first 12" in 1995.
From 1995-1997, he released 5 EPs, and then only 2 more in the next 6 years until 2005.The reason he produced so infrequently was because when his first releases came out, the tracks were licensed to some big labels and he did not get paid for them. After that some other labels approached him but just wanted more of the same and didn't really seem to understand his sound. They just wanted more of the same sounds. After that he stopped releasing music and produced only for his personal usage. After a couple of years the label Down Low convinced him to pick up his producing again. He is very careful about sharing his music with the rest of the world. « hide
