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.
OOGO and Blanka, both half of the French beatmaking group La Fine Équipe and founders of the Nowadays Records label come together with a new EP A tribute to their skate roots in Marseille, infused with UK garage and hip-hop influences.
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 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.
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.
