Yorismäki - Vacuity Pulse

Born in 1998 in a small town in Savoie, Yorismäki is a new French electronic music producer. His stage name comes from the fusion of his first name Joris and the name of the Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki. It was while working as a sound engineer, driven by a passion for sound processing and synthesis, that he truly discovered his urge to create electronic music. His music is influenced primarily by New Wave, but especially by the resulting industrial sounds, as well as more modern electronic elements, all within a dark universe. The result can be both, a brutal and visceral music, as well as atmospheric.

For his first album, the inspiration comes as much from music as from the visual : The movie, with the disturbing and surreal universe of David Lynch, with a always dark look on humanity, or the cynicism, the beautiful shades of colors and lights and simplicity of Aki Kaurismäki’s movies. The present, where we seem to be plunging day after day into an increasingly dystopian world, where humanity, more connected than ever, yet seems to disconnect from reality, the individual curling up on themselves, losing control of their life, letting themselves be guided by algorithms, thus sinking into complete vacuity.

Honoris IV (Tribute to Christian Death & Rozz Williams)

Rozz Williams (November 6, 1963 – April 1, 1998) was born into a Christian Baptist family in California. In reaction to his strict religious upbringing, he formed Christian Death in 1979 in Los Angeles, then left his own band in 1985, leaving Valor and Gitane Demone the only masters on board, thus creating a schism among the fans that continues to this day. Fallen angel of the American death rock scene, Rozz embarked on various projects with Eva O’ (Premature Ejaculation, Shadow Project, Daucus Karota, Heltir, EXP) then released records under the name “Christian Death featuring Rozz Williams” between 1992 and 1996.

We wish here to pay tribute to a great underground artist who chose an intermediate path between the glam spirit of David Bowie of the 70s and the punk energy of Iggy & The Stooges “Raw Power” era by bringing his own gay sensibility. Rozz Williams was also an underrated queer icon and a musician with a rare aesthetic of provocation.

Many of us were fascinated during our youth by his musical universe. This deep sepulchral voice, of which the old goths of my generation are fond of, and a haunted poetry evocative of lost souls, are the common point of these people too sensitive to live in a world like ours. It was time to pay him the true homage he deserves.

Maman Küsters - Le Petit Chaos De Maman Küsters

Third album of the brilliant French electronic duo Maman Küsters that many lucky people were able to see and appreciate during the last Ombra festival in Barcelona (in a formula that was without the singer Cyril Pansal)

9 new tracks and 5 exceptional remixes made by figures of the international music scene such as GARETH JONES (famous producer of Depeche Mode, Tuxedomoon, Einstürzende Neubauten, Wire, Palais Schaumburg, Diamanda Galás or Crime & The City Solution), MARC CARO (experimental musician, director, screenwriter or Artistic Director of the “Le Bunker de la dernière rafale”, “Delicatessen”, “La cite des enfants perdus”, “Alien – the Resurrection”, “Enter the Void”…), the Belgian techno pioneer INSIDER, aka Kris Vanderheyden, as well than François Joncour and spanish noise producer HIV+.

Somewhere between DAF and Dadaism, surreal and powerful lyrics, sounds as much influenced by the early Nitzer Ebb or Front 242 but with a sweet touch of luminous Kraftwerk. A unique sound and voice!
