In keeping with the eclectic tastes of its founders, the catalog of Nowadays Records is without blinkers and covers a lot of ground: hybrid productions ranging from trip-hop to house, techno… true dance anthems, with electronic music at its core.
After releasing “Club Nowadays, Vol.1" and “Club Nowadays, Vol. 2" in 2022 and 2023, Nowadays is now coming back with a third compilation, to mark its 10th anniversary! The label is back in full force and will bring its audience to an even more diverse sonic journey, with never-seen-before collaborations, and new parties. Once more, Nowadays is giving us its definition of club music.
This is an electro-pop track, joyful and catchy thanks to its rhythm, melody, and lyrics. Perfect for dancing or chilling, this song exudes escape and letting go. To be enjoyed without moderation.
For Y U QT, it was a pleasure to play with a track they already greatly admired: Elysium. They happened to be in 90’s M1 spirits that day and love how it came out.
Gabriel and Facundo are Chien Méchant: a duo that makes you wonder if groove, rock, funk and synths could maybe coexist one more time.
"Carte Aventure" was originally composed to enhance their live performance at La Boule Noire. The musical elements gradually come together, taking their time to develop, creating sensations of restraint, tension, but also of sweetness and fragility, which are fundamental concepts of the song.
"Dakhilo" is a ghazal song (a praise for the loved ones). This track mixes the raï of Rachid Baba Ahmed with the house of Mood II Swing, while having a modern structure in its arrangements.
A music video was directed for this track, go check it out!
“Diggedy” is a sunny track that has already proved its worth on La Fine Equipe's sets. OOGO & Blanka highlight their origins and their love for traditional Brazilian and Moroccan music, always with the desire to mix genres to create new ones. “Diggedy” was born during the Club Nowadays collective's open airs this summer: a small dose of bossa nova, samba and a Chaabi voice on an electro beat.
Nuits Sonores is a festive manifesto, a call to celebration.
After returning from his set at the festival of the same name, KasbaH wanted to create a track in its honor. As he composed, the track became an anthem—an anthem for partying, kindness, and respect. KasbaH's way of reconnecting with the roots of clubbing and sound systems.
Through this Nu Disco anthem, KasbaH extends his heartfelt thanks to the entire Nuits Sonores team and its audience. "Wherever you are, keep making noise, keep making your nights sonores!"
After releasing Flares, the multi-hatted producer and member of La Fine Équipe is back with « Birds », an ode to Lo-Fi and a testament to his love for nature.
While Blanka remains the sole captain on "Birds", he also takes the opportunity to invite several of his long-standing collaborators (Sara Lugo, Onra,...) as well as new encounters (De Phase, King Krab, Papa Rua,...). All the tracks were created on the spot with the same direction. Whether in the choice of textures or instruments, all the guests and musicians put themselves at the service of the chosen theme.
From Caen, Le Bag is no stranger to the French electronic scene. Born in the 90s, his approach to music creation is influenced by Funk and House music. His leitmotif is simple: to externalize his prism of emotions accumulated through his backpack which has accompanied him since childhood.
For his first EP “Identity Bag”, he wanted to display a wide range of emotions, from the brightest to the darkest, from the lightest to the fullest. Each track has its own personality, and reaches to everything that can happen during one day.
Xavier Laporte has been producing music under a variety of aliases for several years now, but in 2019 he signed with Nowadays Records under the name Alter Real. After releasing two EPs, he is back with his first and new album "You and I and me and you"
