From Rave Culture
to reconstructed memory
Two childhood friends exchanging copied Amiga game disks at the local train station. This was the origin. By 1998, Marius Reinländer and Frank Simons began translating their obsession with early electronic music into actual production.
Armed with a Roland MC-505 and immersed in the weekend rituals of Mayday and Sensation White, they started building tracks during the absolute golden era of European trance and harddance.
These weren't just studio sessions; they were direct transmissions from the dancefloor. Escanor was born from this specific cultural frequency—a signal designed for massive rooms and late-night emotional peaks.
