Signed to Matthew Herbert's Accidental Label, her set of recent releases have offered a preview of what to expect from her upcoming full length debut album.<br /> <br /> Having trained at a Parisian conservatoire for 10 years before moving to London, Zilla began to experiment with writing piano-based music over hip hop beats, inspired by her favourite composers and experimental electronica. Her globe-trotting sound reflects her heritage: Zilla's mother is the Ivory Coast ambassador to Denmark, her father a chemistry professor who fled Guinea's dictatorship in the 1970s.<br /> <br /> Her sound has been described as "surrealist leftfield pop" but Zilla's self-confessed obsession with all things dark and subconscious add a gloaming element to her sound - like the kind of music you would hear during the hypnagogic state, music that might occur during your "threshold consciousness" just before the onset of sleep.<br /> <br /> We chatted to her for some insight into the inspirations behind her strange nocturnal world.....<br /> <br /> <iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CZ4NdIC1k_4" width="560"></iframe> <b><br /></b> <b>Set the tone for for us. Why the arts?</b><br /> <br /> I’ve always been into the arts, ever since I can remember. As a kid, instead of wanting to be a vet I wanted to be a painter. Growing up in paris was amazing for that. The galleries, the wine, the cigarettes and the general melancholy, a perfect place to grow my inner creative soul and embrace my sensitivity.<br /> Me and my friends used to wake up at 4am before school, meet in front of Notre Dame and smoke cigarettes and sing Jeff Buckley songs by the seine. Sounds over the top but that’s what I liked the most about growing up in Paris. I started playing the piano when i was 9 which can seem quite late but after 3 years I was already very advanced. I didn't even practice much but somehow my brain was connecting perfectly with it. I felt comfortable and happy and obviously very privileged to have been given the opportunity to learn an instrument.<br /> <br /> At school I was a standard student but I dressed outrageously so teachers tended to hate me. When I played the piano, my clothes made sense. Everything became a part of a performance, everyday was a performance. I would spend as much time as possible in vintage clothing stores trying to find something unique. My conservatoire was my favourite place in the whole world. I would step in and feel focused and it just felt right.<br /> <br /> While playing the piano, I would also write poems 24/7 and paint everywhere, on my friends arms at school (in full view of my teachers), on the tube, on my bedroom walls, I wanted to go to Les Beaux Arts (which is one of the most famous art schools in the world) but the opportunity to move to London came along and I couldn’t resist!  So basically, the arts were the only way I felt comfortable expressing myself, from painting to piano to writing and fashion. Also, I have so many secrets and traumas that I don’t want to talk about and that I feel satisfied putting into a song, hence the theme of dreams and my subconscious.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>To those not familiar with you, how would you describe your sound.</b><br /> <br /> My sound has always been about extreme contrasts. I am attracted to aggressive beats and singing softly over them. I also like thinking about the writing process as a form of geometry and algebra, a form of layers upon layers, of different shades. It has a surrealist dimension because of the dreams but also because it can be completely irrational at times (I use recording of my sleep-talking in my writing - The Sleepwalker), I am passionate about the creativity of my unconscious mind and simply because I like the juxtaposition of opposite elements.<br /> <b><br /></b> <iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pBy6fKzUR6g" width="560"></iframe><br /> <b><br /></b> <b>What are the 5 albums that have influenced you the most?</b><br /> Bjork - <i>Debut, Post, Homogenic, Vesterpetine, Medulla</i> :) Ok I love Bjork! Fever Ray - <i>The Knife</i>, Lykke Li, MIA - <i>Arular</i>, Santigold -<i> Santogold</i>, so many<br /> <br /> <b>You just released your brilliant new track ‘Whatever It is,’ which you describe as “a sensual love story with the voices living in my head, the temptation of letting go of sanity and surrendering to the crazy.” Previous single ‘Sleepwalker’ also reflects themes about losing control and embracing the unpredictable. Why is this an important theme for you?</b><br /> <br /> Because I am obsessed with the creativity of my unconscious mind, I am fascinated by my mental issues, instead of rejecting my anxiety, I embrace it and turn it into art. 'Whatever it is' is probably my most anxious song. But at the same time I am asking my trauma whether he/she is my friend or my enemy. That’s why it is like a love song to me because it can be as complicated as a love and hate relationship. 'The Sleepwalker' was a fun one because the events that lead to writing this song were pretty hilarious.<br /> <br /> <b>Your choice of instruments on ‘Whatever It Is’, were unusual - a toy horn with mexican samples, a black velvet bag, a stone, duct tape, handcuffs and hair clips. Can you tell us what the symbology of these objects are within the context of the track, ie why these objects?</b><br /> <br /> <b>The toy:</b><br /> I got the toy at a market in Mexico where I went to see one my sisters who lives there, she was going through a massive breakup and although it was a really fun holiday, it was also very full on emotionally.<br /> <br /> <b>The bag:</b><br /> The black velvet bag has a kind of gothic element, of magic tricks, also touching velvet makes me feel very uncomfortable, like I'm suffocating.<br /> <br /> <b>The stone:</b><br /> It’s a recurring item of the beats, a stone is hard and destructive but it’s also protection and reality.<br /> <br /> <b>The duct tape:</b><br /> Because sometimes, I would like the thoughts/voices to stop<br /> <br /> <b>Handcuffs:</b><br /> It is a weird love and hate relationship for life.<br /> <br /> <b>Hair clips:</b><br /> It seems to be one of these things that I always have in every single pocket, bag - anything I own, hair clips. But it also represents keeping myself together.<br /> <br /> <b>You recently signed to Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Label. Herbert is also known for for using everyday objects to create interesting soundscapes. How has working with him shaped your vision and influenced your sound?</b><br /> It definitely made me think outside the box even more than before, it’s always fun getting in the studio together, sometimes some of my lyrics will come from a random conversation we’ve had. He’s always up to something outrageous.<br /> <br /> <b>Any emerging artists on your radar?</b><br /> I love the UK Grime Scene at the moment.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>If you weren't a musician what would you be?</b><br /> A painter or a fashion designer.<br /> <br /> <b>What can we expect from you in the near future? Any upcoming projects or gigs in the pipeline that you would like to tell us about?</b><br /> My album is out in the Spring and I am working on my live shows so stay in touch!

Interview: Touching base with ... Lambmother

<div><div style="text-align: justify;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh25dzw1j2oVYO1BJxoqqZwRORYcnXjX5h4Fh6pXmdDASTkq7TiY8TT_ONTekZp06pr9A0UgNLtuWkrKwefR9Zc1hBj54OLSAiBrbT5nyvHIHdZBfRMoZE-jwPkPnmpc_-TSmmIZJgDo9-Q/s1600/Screen+Shot+2018-02-21+at+10.59.36+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1184" data-original-width="1288" height="588" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh25dzw1j2oVYO1BJxoqqZwRORYcnXjX5h4Fh6pXmdDASTkq7TiY8TT_ONTekZp06pr9A0UgNLtuWkrKwefR9Zc1hBj54OLSAiBrbT5nyvHIHdZBfRMoZE-jwPkPnmpc_-TSmmIZJgDo9-Q/s640/Screen+Shot+2018-02-21+at+10.59.36+AM.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Lambmother</b> is the moniker of Juan Antonio Cantos, a Spanish electronic/experimental producer. Sometimes also known as Pathkey, Cantos creates an often genre-defying blend of eclectic echoes, delays and reverbs, a soundscape that he crafts with the utmost care and creativity.<br /> <div> <br /></div> We chatted with the man behind the moniker for some insight into his creative process...</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>To those not familiar with you, how would you describe your sound?</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Basically, I would define it as experimental. There are many other possible classifications or names, of course, such as Intelligent Techno or IDM (Intelligent Dance Music), but, OK, I think that I don't want to fall into asphyxiating, ambiguous or too limiting categories. I have to say that every time someone asks me this question, I really don't know what to say! One day I do one thing and another I do something completely different. Everything depends on the day and the mood I'm in. Sometimes my beats and melodies are very abstract, and the sound goes from atonal or pure noise, purposely forgetting any sense of melody or harmony, while at other times I prefer less broken sounds and beautiful sounds. Sometimes I start producing a music track, and I let the ideas come out alone. Other times, I have a concept, script or sketch in my mind. Anyway, when I find something that I like or that I find inspiring, I work it in more detail, and then a subject can come out.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Set the tone for us. Why the arts?</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> Because I love it. What else?</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>What are the 5 albums that have influenced you the most?</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> No doubt: they are Autechre - "Incunabula," Aphex Twin- "Selected Ambient Works," "Boards of Canada - "Music Has the Right to Children," Orbital - "In Sides," and Biosphere - "Substrata." </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> But I think that this list is too short, because I should add other amazing albums of other awesome, inspiring artists, such as Pan Sonic, LFO, Merzbow, Ryoji Ikeda, Carsten Nicolai, Plastikman, Esplendor Geométrico or The Orb...</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>What techniques do you experiment with to form your sound?</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> I like to play with samples of rhythm or loops (sometimes I create them from the beginning, using keyboards or grooveboxes, but other times I simply take a loop or sound already pre-made from another source, and then I work it thoroughly to change it, turning it into something totally new and unidentifiable) , and then I cut them, break them, cut them...  I liked to add many effects in each track, like beat repeats, echoes, delays, reverbs, but my experience has shown me that it's often not necessary to dirt each track or pattern with effects. Two or three good effects may be enough to get something good, without messing up more. With the melodies is different: I use to add not less of 4-5 synthesizers for the melodies and arrangements. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Finally, I must say that usually the concept of my tracks is the evolution, from the bottom to the top, like a 'crescendo', but this evolution could mean the total loss of the original concept of the beginning. That evolution has to be slow, progressive, but it has to entail at some point a break, sometimes abrupt, or unexpected, brusque, to create an element of surprise and change of intensity, making the track stronger or more powerful, giving it personality.<br /> <br /></div> <iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/320874770&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%"></iframe> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Are there any key pieces of equipment that you can't live without?</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> No. Seriously, not at all. Of course, I love some tools, like my DAW (Ableton Live 9) and obviously my computers (I have three), as well as my Roland MC-505 Groovebox, my Arturia Minilab (small and cheap, but unexpectedly powerful) or a Roland TR -8 ... But I think the machines and technologies come and go. I am always buying new things, sometimes I try them out, I play with them for a while, but I get bored right away, and then I replace them without any guilt.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>What are some of your key influences in your music? Whether it be the sound created by others, imagery, films or any kind of art form.</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> I think I have already answered this question before... IDM music in general, artists such as Autechre, Aphex Twin, Ryoji Ikeda, Merzbow, Mika Vainio/Pan Sonic, Esplendor Geométrico. Labels such as Warp, Rephlex, Raster, Noton, Mego, Blast First, Mute, Mille Plateaux. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Talking about other influences, Science-fiction and Cyberpunk ('Blade Runner', 'Alien', '2001, A Space Odyssey,' and 'Interstellar' are my favorites films) as well as horror movies and books (H.P. Lovecraft is my favorite horror writer), or documentaries where images are the real protagonists, such as 'Baraka', or 'Koyaanisqatsi' . Contemporary artists such as Picasso, Pollock, José Guerrero, Dalí or the Dadaists and Futurists are very important as well, I feel them as influences too. But I never forget the artists of Heyronimus Bosch or Brueghel. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Ah! And comics, I am passionate about comics in general, especially of comic authors such as Milo Manara, Moebius, Frank Miller, Alan Moore, Boucq, Esteban Maroto, Paco Roca,...</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Tell us about the chemistry you have with your fans on stage.</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> This is a difficult question to answer, since, honestly, I have not played live too many times. My other professional projects have not allowed me to organize or plan too many performances. The other day a friend told me that I reminded him of the Boards of Canada and Burial, great electronic musicians, but that, unfortunately, historically they have not lavished much on stage. Throughout their long career they have barely made a few concerts, which has increased their aura of mystery. But I do not expect to become them! I don't want mysteries or secrets in my life, and I'm not interested in creating any aura of mystery around me! Hahahaha... </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> In the last year I played live twice, in a pub in Barcelona (Olivia's Bar) on April 2017, and in an amazing experimental electronic music and noise festival, at MS Stubnitz (Hamburg, Germany), the Primal Uproar II Festival, curated by José Macabra and Dr. Nexus. For that occasion I also had the support of my friend and amazing video artist Eclips3, who was in charge of the incredible live images accompanying my live music performance. In both cases, the experience with the audience was very good, although the audience was undoubtedly more receptive at the festival in Hamburg, where my dark and glitchy sounds might fit better. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> This year I have an invitation to play in a festival in Switzerland and in a club of Berlin, and I'm talking with a Croatian label to schedule a new live act, so... I can tell I feel honored and happy! </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> These are good news, indeed! I will give new news later about these events</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>What has been a memorable highlight in your career so far?</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> Receiving numerous invitations from other experimental music artists (that I admire) to collaborate with them, or to publish my music in their own record labels. I feel honored, grateful and glad! And of course, my last performance at the Primal Uproar II Festival. That was simply incredible and unforgettable, an unique experience.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>If you could work with, or perform alongside any artist of your choice, who would it be?</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> Ouufff... OK, probably Autechre or Aphex Twin. Also Ralp, an awesome Barcelonese artist. But, to be being fair, I think the person I would always take with me would be my colleague, the video artist <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Eclips3-931480033542753/?fref=mentions">Eclips3</a>!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Gary Numan is quoted as saying: "I have always been far more interested in sound than technique, and how sounds work together, how they can be layered. I think electronic music, (in its infancy anyway) allowed us to create music in a way that hadn't really been possible before. It created a new kind of musician." What are your thoughts on this statement?</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I fully agree. Electronics is, sometimes, more than a tool, a new way of doing things. An open field for research and philosophical reflection, and an awesome way to broaden the spectrum of sound possibilities, as never before in history. But today, electronic musicians are also at risk of falling victim to their own machines and tools. When the machine imposes itself on the musician, the artistic and creative element is lost.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>What can we expect from you in the near future? Any upcoming projects or gigs in the pipeline that you would like to tell us about?</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> As I said before, this year I hope to play live in Switzerland and Germany. Surely it will be in spring and Summer. But I prefer not to assure anything, since everything is still in the air. I will be giving news about my progress and upcoming events and albums through my social networks.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/388173347&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%"></iframe> <br /> Follow Lambmother - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LambmotherMusic/">Facebook</a> - <a href="https://soundcloud.com/lambmother">Soundcloud</a> - <a href="https://lambmother.bandcamp.com/">Bandcamp</a></div>

Theodore fuses electronic + classical compositions on 'Towards? (for what is to come)'

His latest single ‘Towards? (for what is to come)’ is slated for release on March 2nd via United We Fly. Described as a "sonic stream of consciousness," ‘Towards? (for what is to come)’ is deep and moody auditory masterpiece, showcasing Theodore's technical skills from ethereal, to melancholic, to classical, to post rock.<br /> <br /> Speaking of the single Theodore says<i> “Towards? (for what is to come) is going to be the first song of my upcoming album. This is the initial question I will be exploring throughout the album. It is about the two different sides of one’s personality; the conscious and the magical one and inspired by the battle between them.”  </i><br /> <i><br /></i> Catch Theodore LIVE on  March 12-18 at SXSW (Austin, TX) and March 21at  Rockwood Music Hall (New York City)<br /> <br /> <iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/392927178&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%"></iframe><br /> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38;

Combining the talents of Marc Luciano and Stephen Robusto, a sound designer and visual artist respectively, the attributes of both art-forms are strongly reflected in Sterling Grove's production style.<br /> <br /> <i>Parallel Lines</i> is a spellbinding journey that extends well beyond the landscapes of the dancefloor, incorporating their rich electronic sound with vocals from a host of global artists including Black Lotus, Jono McCleery and Monsoonsiren. Their approach to production has showcased the skill of each individual artist, while cultivating a unique selection of songs that exhibits their own idiosyncratic soundscape. The album will be backed by a 6-minute short film entitled ‘Parallel Lines’ set for release this year.<br /> <br /> We chatted to Sterling Grove for some insight into their inspiration and creative process.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>To those not familiar with you, how would you describe your sound?</b><br /> Our music is a fusion between dreamy ambient electronica with inspirations from dance music.<br /> <br /> <b>What are the 5 albums that have influenced you the most?</b><br /> 1. Maribou State - Portraits, 2. Jamie XX - In Colour 3. Bonobo - The North Borders 4. Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon 5. David August - Times.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>What techniques do you experiment with to form your sound?</b><br /> We often mess around with plugins and look for happy accidents. We usually scroll trough presets or turn knobs till we find something that stands out or catches our attention. Reverb and Distortion usually does the trick.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>Are there any key pieces of equipment that you can't live without?</b><br /> Our laptops, a midi Keyboard, some speakers and good VIBES.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>What are some of your key influences in your music? Whether it be the sound created by others, imagery, films or any kind of art form.</b><br /> Movies definitely spark the creative process for us! After watching <i>The Great Beauty</i> by Paolo Sorrentino we created our song 'Parallel Lines' which was inspired by the movie's heavy contrasting themes and moods. A strong image also sparks our creative process, especially when it has a strong<br /> story telling quality to it. One of our favourite photographers that heavily inspired us is Polish artist Weronika Izdebska aka <a href="http://ovors.com/"><span style="color: red;">OVORS</span></a>, whom we highly recommend checking out. And of course listening to lots of new music always gets us pumped for a studio session!<br /> <br /> <b>Jean Michel Jarre said "Music is the human treatment of sounds" How do you interpret this?</b><br /> That’s a deep one! To keep this answer simple, we think music is an extremely powerful tool and medium to express a feeling or an emotion.<br /> <br /> <b>What has been a memorable highlight in your career so far?</b><br /> Releasing out first album Parallel Lines was definitely a great one so far.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>If you could work with, or perform alongside any artist of your choice, who would it be?</b><br /> We would love to write a song and perform alongside Sevdaliza. Call us if you read this!<br /> <br /> <b>If you weren't a musician what would you be?</b><br /> <b>Stephen:</b> Alongside making music I am a visuals artist and graphic designer, so I would probably be pursuing that on a more full time basis.<br /> <b>Marc:</b> I can’t picture any other realities outside of making music! I would like to work on sound designs for films.<br /> <br /> <b>What can we expect from you in the near future? Any upcoming projects or gigs in the pipeline that you would like to tell us about?</b><br /> We have been working quite hard on wrapping up a music video we filmed with House of Youth studios and close friend and filmmaker Sebastian McKinnon for our latest single Parallel Lines! As well as a few remixes and our live show!<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b>Catch Sterling Grove LIVE at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClubUnityMTL/"><span style="color: red;">Club Unity</span></a> this Saturday (10 Feb) Details <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/2050346518534693/?active_tab=about"><span style="color: red;">here</span></a>.</b></div> <br /> <iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="450" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/331138524&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%"></iframe><br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b>Follow Sterling Grove on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sterling1groveofficial/"><span style="color: red;">Facebook</span></a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sterling.grove/"><span style="color: red;">Instagram</span></a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/sterling-grove"><span style="color: red;">Soundcloud</span></a>.</b></div> </div>

Yolotana is head of the <a href="https://web.facebook.com/ylotanamusic/?fref=mentions">Ylotana Project</a>, an initiative set up to support and collaborate with like-minded musicians.<br /> <br /> Using looper technology, effects and layered guitars, with almost a complete absence of synthesisers, Sex Of Insects have constructed a unique sound drenched in atmosphere and melody.

Molécule releases Sila remix package - reworkings by Madben, Torb and Sayem.

Nature is a strong theme in his work - his concept effort titled 60°43’Nord was recorded over 36 days on an ocean-going vessel, and recent single 'Violence' with accompanying music video was inspired by a life-changing, perception-altering expedition to the Tundra.<br /> <br /> The remix package brings a new element to an interesting track. Madben grew up in Northern France and discovered electronic music at the end of the 90’s. He began DJing in 2000 and composing in 2007. Hailed by Trax Magazine as “techno's last hope,” he has received support from a host of influential names such as Laurent Garnier, Agoria, Dave Clarke, Carl Craig, Skudge, John Digweed and Ben Sims. His reputation was cemented through a few acclaimed releases in 2013 and 2014: ‘We Want To Rave On’ on Astropolis Records, ‘Dual’ with Ian O’Donovan, ‘Neighbours’ on Bedrock, ‘My mad strings’ on Goldmin music. 2016’s tracks ‘Into The Woods’ and ‘Tension’ received airplay from BBC Radio 6 Music’s Tom Ravenscroft,  and he is a well known name on the club circuit throughout France, including Transmusicales (Rennes), Scopitone (Nantes), Marsatac (Marseille), I Love Techno (Montpellier), as well as Montreal’s Piknic Electronik. His take on Sila delivers a beat driven sound, covering a juxtaposing sonic scope.<br /> <br /> Sayem is French DJ and producer, known for his affinity for vintage synths - Minimoog, JX3P, Juno 60 and SH101. He has a string of releases in his wake, and has worked alongside artists such as The Girls and Boys, Rocky, TORB and Domestic Dictatorship (Julien Briffaz Bot'Ox.) He recently composed the score for short film Qui Vive, and has produced music for Don Quichotte at Trocadero, José Montalvo's ballet show, which went on to run for several weeks at Théâtre National de Chaillot, before touring across France. Sayem’s remix radiates maturity and a cool, sometimes poignant atmosphere.<br /> <div> <br /></div> TORB’s work on the track is a techo-centered delivery of intricate grooves. The French duo are some of Motorbass Studio’s hip dissidents, known for their use of modular analogue synths to create a sound reminiscent of the rave age scene. Their 2014 tracks ‘Fatohm / Fever’ received support from Noisey, and their “low-fi” techno sound is owed to bespoke machinery, and preferably played at live sets.<br /> <br /> <iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="300" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/395322176&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true" width="100%"></iframe> <b id="docs-internal-guid-e084f445-3e1b-6c82-1a92-d1aa84233dff" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656;
