A bootleg experiment that got out of hand, Oden & Fatzo’s Radio 1 A-listed single is the accidental hit that everyone is talking about.

So how do you go about making an ‘accidental hit’, by accident of course... The track came about when French DJ Fatzo tried to demonstrate the difference between an edit and a remix to his dad, “... I took a song from the band Men I Trust, sped it up and added a drum beat and violin. After playing it to Oden, they loved it, and in turn, added their secret ingredients.”

Unlike the name might suggest, Oden & Fatzo consists of three people: The Parisian underground collective are a powerful fusion of the electronic live duo Oden, and house DJ Fatzo. Back in 2020 a bootleg version of ‘Lauren’ was uploaded to the YouTube channel of the electronic label Novaj, kicking off an unforeseeable wave of enthusiasm. That video is now approaching 4 and a half million views. Enthralled listeners begged for a commercial release, a year later Ministry of Sound/B1 cleared the sample and the track started its march across the airwaves and up the charts.

With its captivating beat and nostalgic catchiness, ‘Lauren’ makes up for the party nights lost to the pandemic lockdowns, and sees people dancing in their homes and on the streets, as concerts, parties, and live sets are finally making a return. As the trio put it: “This song was all about hope, freedom and a party atmosphere at a time when you couldn't go anywhere. We think it gave everyone who heard it a little bit of an escape, including us.” More

Rising French trio Oden & Fatzo head to LOCUS as they reveal their four-track ‘Observatory’ EP. A project combining three of France’s most exciting emerging talents, Parisian duo Oden & fellow live artist and producer Fatzo have emerged from the capital’s rich electronic scene and established themselves as some of the most exciting new names around. Having originated from individual projects within Paris’ house landscape, the minimal live production trio have quickly established their own sound within the genre, combining crisp, complex grooves with broken rhythms that combine minimal, house, and techno influences with a resonant, modern twist. Following a string of releases via Moscow Records, Salty Nuts, and hedZup records, the collective now head to FUSE’s LOCUS imprint as they unveil five fresh cuts across their latest EP, ‘Observatory’. Opening via the undeniably garage-influenced two-step drums, rumbling basslines, and rich stabs of opening cut ‘Denver In The Jungle’, the trio quickly set the pace for their high-octane, tried-and-tested, club-driven sound. ‘Equinox’ welcomes classic house flavours with soulful vocal interjections backed by soaring organ melodies and shuffling percussion, before title track ‘Observatory’ combines laser-sharp drums with sweeping leads, and rubbery funk-fuelled bass licks to open the B-side in classy fashion. To close, ‘Solar Inertia’ welcomes a deeper journey through bleeps and sparkling electronics guided by refined drum licks and rush-inducing builds and breaks, whilst digital bonus track ‘Compton’s Visions’ switches up proceedings and introduces a drum-led workout accented by hazy guitar licks and spacey melodies.
