In April 2023, De Phase released their debut EP, Bonjour, on the Plaisance Record label. With this new version with four new remixes, the project explores different ways of connecting intimacy and club culture.
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 new track from Parisian producers KX9000 and Plage 84, called "madness" is built for the club, driven by a textured house beat and vintage synths. The influence of Todd Edwards is evident in the OP-1 sampler's vocal processing, resulting in a direct and uncompromising energy.
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.
Balancing club energy with introspection, the project draws from bass music, house, footwork, and Afrobeat influences to craft an experience that’s both physical and emotional.
This remix was born from the encounter between two of Blanka's (La Fine Équipe) passions: organic, played, and embodied music, and the energy of the dance floor. He explores electronic composition designed for the club, while retaining a deeply soulful dimension. The textures remain vibrant, the grooves breathe, and emotion guides the track's construction as much as the rhythm, creating a balance between body and feeling.
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.
You may know Fakear as a composer, producer, and performer, but you might have missed one of his other talents: DJing. 22 minutes of finely tuned, raw mixing, punctuated by his friends’ voices, sharing live reactions to each track. You can feel his influences, hear glimpses of his new songs, and above all, you get this irresistible urge to dance, or better yet, to have him come and make you dance at home.
A track that is both light and paradoxical, “waking up is better with you” approaches love from a unique perspective.
It contrasts the tender calm of waking up beside a loved one with the frenzy of urban life, balancing gentleness and tension, serenity and chaos.
Fakear expresses his desire to break away from traditional romanticism by pairing it with a sharp, driving rhythm.
