Never Be Defeated is built on a progressive and intense structure. The production layers multiple synths and rhythmic elements, creating a continuous rise in energy. The evolving textures and the gradual densification of the sonic spectrum reinforce the track’s determined and expansive character.
A preview of R1D1's upcoming EP, that opens with What's Cool, a solid club-oriented track featuring a tight house groove and hip-hop-tinged vocals that contrast with raw electronic textures. On Hoppin' I'm Humming, sharp synths intertwine with a rolling bass and unexpected sonic elements, creating an off-kilter vibe anchored by sensual female vocals: a track designed to linger and move with you.
Born from the collaboration between KX9000 and Plage 84, the 9084° EP, released on Nowadays Records, is a spontaneous fusion of hardware-driven programming and instinctive groove. The duo explores a shared musical playground where House, R&B, and electronic Jazz intersect, aiming to create club music that is both experimental and effortlessly danceable.
A friendly (or more-than-friendly) declaration a bit awkward and introverted. A shy attempt to tell someone you love them in a roundabout way. Here again, a connection to the shy teenager Fakear once was and the shy teen we all become when facing someone who fascinates us or whom we’re drawn to. The tempo is high, but the melancholy is still there.

Driven by a groove inspired by J Dilla and Madlib, Blanka (La Fine Équipe) — behind his MPC3000 — blends sonic textures while keeping things organic, with just a touch of synthesizer. It’s a 90 BPM magic formula that only he seems to master.
The duo OOGO & Aksel Aksel returns with a new EP that is as organic as it is instinctive, a sensory exploration of movement in all its forms.

With their unique style and contagious passion, Tales & Ahlam are reinventing electronic music and creating a space where everyone can find resonance, feel seen, and surrender to a shared sense of lightness.
Those Trees is a more nocturnal, magical track, a tribute to forests and to simple contemplation. Like a dialogue between a child and an adult - “I like those trees… me too, they’re beautiful” - Fakear speaks to the child who is discovering the world and marveling at simple things.
