Julien Bracht - Dancer In The Dark
Fresh off of a remix for Grimes’ “My Name is Dark”, producer Julien Bracht has been powering through CV19 studio seclusion on full-power, with a distinct vision for brighter days ahead. Bracht’s new album, “Now Forever One,” an emblem of dark analog synthwave, is set to drop June 11. Bracht’s first solo album under his own namesake is cut with surgical precision for the shoegazing astral sound travellers who long to break out of their pandemic quarantines, and reconvene for techno-induced ascension. The album’s first single, “Melancholia,” and it’s accompanying video, is already breaking hearts and charts. An exquisite sonic hybrid of communal revelry and profound introspection, “Now Forever One,” focuses Bracht’s multilayered craftsmanship on resolving this era’s angst with sensory exploration and optimism.
As a lifelong drummer, Bracht’s insatiable musical energy lead him to bang out his first 3 EPs within one year of first being signed in 2011-12. In 2015 he founded the band Lea Porcelain with Markus Nikolaus in London. Their hypnotic post-rock debut release in 2017, “Hymns to the Night,” gained instant acclaim from UK tastemakers Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe, to name a few. The lads broke back onto the international stage with dates on several major festivals around Europe, including the Leeds/Reading Festival, Great Escape Brighton and Latitude. Rich output combined with the inclusion of live drums in his solo live sets quickly gained Bracht recognition and slots on the global tour circuit.
“Now Forever One” forges Julien Bracht’s transition from techno djing, while continuing the explorations of texture and timbre over functional song structures from Lea Porcelain, to a more open-ended search for the aural sublime — the substrate on which music, life and light glide to create momentary nodes of meaning in an increasingly meaningless sociopolitical atmosphere. These are crucial themes to Bracht’s process and approach. “The intention in my music is to strengthen people’s awareness and minds… I want us all to gather in spirit and stick together.”
The album exemplifies Bracht’s hunt for elemental juxtaposition with the warm Prophet 6’s sawtooth howls and bright pads against chillingly indifferent pulsing basslines and percussion. Clocking in at just under 65 minutes, “Now Forever One’s” tracks are sequenced to take the listener through the full emotional arch of a 15-hour rave, with an emphasis on those moments of collective epiphany where heaving techno floors become the perfect microcosm for an idealistic and interconnected future. Interspersed with improvisational one-takes, the album submerges the listener in polyrhythmic meditations, of which “Streets” and “Nocturne” are standout examples, and soars on the vaulted synth melodies of future dance floor favourites “Melancholia” and “Dreams of Euphoria.” Sascha Ring of Apparat & Moderat puts it perfectly: “I played “Melancholia” the night I got it at Mutek Festival in Mexico City, and instantly knew it’ll shine on a big floor at the right time. It’s just the right balance of majestic melodic deepness.” The sounds are both triumphant and exploratory.
Greater than the sum of its parts, Bracht’s latest release hints at the artist’s emerging potential for nailing our moment’s zeitgeist; learning to live smaller while constantly seeking higher heights. Inhabiting the fertile ground between solitary rumination and dance-floor convenance, the launch of “Now Forever One’s” lunar expedition into the techno oblivion of pandemic lockdown is oddly fitting.

julien bracht - Drumatic
UPC: 827170530461 Release: 14.04.2014
Tracklist: (A1) Sub Collapsed (B1) Drumatic
Julien Bracht was one of Cocoon Recordings and Cocoon Artists rising stars in 2013.
With his next release he proofs that we all have been more than right to focus on that young man with his magic drum sticks! "Sub Collapsed" is a masterpiece of all things techno and merges elements of some of the biggest techno-tunes of the last two decades. Think of Plastikman, Underworld and Slam jamming together in an intensive studio joint and techno wunderkind Bracht is banging his drums along to it. This is pure energy....and energy flash par excellence! "Drumatic" opens the deeper door to Julien Bracht's world of sounds and beats and appears like a darker dub of the "Sub Collapsed". We take a deep breath here of all the energy we heard before and enjoy the basic beat style of "Drumatic".
Dark, deep, loud, Julien Bracht has it all for you.

Tracklist: A : Sun B : Trust
"Sun EP" is the first release from label founder and Cocoon Artist Julien Bracht on his own label. The 2-track EP radiates a sense of confidence and motivation into a composition wherein the sound is expressed by the combination of melodic and hypnotic sounds, combined and inspired by the hardness of his Break/Techno beats. The EP is not just a music publication but the start of a life vision of Julien Bracht. It is an attempt to communicate values through music, to give a different space on a new type and level of originality. The dark and deep songs, go deep, but it seems the songs shine more and more in the glimmer of hope, and it leaves a deep sense of destiny and higher powers to do the right thing, in which you trust to your own will. The only thing worth saying is what you really feel. TRUST

Tracklist: A1. Aime Light A2. Kurayami Love Girl B1. Acheronian
Julien Bracht is mainly known in the Frankfurt area, thanks to his gigs at Cocoonclub and the cooperation with the Bad Boys Club parties. His music perfectly fits into the newcomer Techno sound from Frankfurt that is currently becoming a talking point more and more. In "Aime Light", Bracht pulls plenty of Dub delays from the drawer, besides some really cool and serene vocals. Trippy and crazy, but still dark and with a lot of potential - the next after hour is boiling over immediately, that's a safe bet. With "Kurayami Love Girl", the percussionist Bracht is almost breaking fresh ground. Gloomy and weird, but still with a lot of depth, much room and crazy vocals, the track is far from being stupid mainstream - sporadically it almost reminds of the musical variety of a Pepe Braddock - magnificent! The flipside "Acheronian" is, on the first glance, something like the "typical" Bracht track and could be seen as the perfect musical business card of the producer Julien Bracht. A minimal beat with House appeal meets a gloomy Techno background, generates a lot of deepness and is arranged in a steadily rising style, building up and up again. What seems to be a cool tool turns out to be a true peaktime monster, right after a few minutes!

Stripped of retro's pretensions, neither resolutely analogue nor obviously digital, "La Forca del Destino" is classic without being throwback, simply a selection of grooves that, one suspects, have been rolling along forever, quietly circulating through a universe of circuitry, midwifed by nimble fingers turning knobs, but otherwise almost autonomous - self-winding rhythmic miniatures, perfect little closed systems that do their thing without even being asked. Every B-movie fan knows that "Soylent Green is people". But this is no cannibalization. It's too idiosyncratic for that. It's acid without being "acid", minimal without being "minimal".
