In 2022, Kavinsky is back with "Reborn", his second album recorded at the famous Motorbass studio in Paris, due March 25th. While recording it, Kavinsky had this special project to record a sequel to his hit song "Nightcall", which after all sounded almost like a movie scene. This sequel would be called "Zenith".

Therefore, like in the original, he composed a duet between a girl and a man, but reversed:
the verse is sung by the woman, the chorus by the man.
Prudence (formerly from the successful duet The Dø) is the female vocalist, Morgan Phalen (who sung with Justice and is the vocalist of the band Diamond Nights) plays the male character along with a special guest: the saxophone.

"Zenith" showcases Kavinsky's romantic side on a muted and futuristic sound.

Kavinsky’s ‘Odd look’ is one of those songs which will haunt you for a long time after hearing them, one of Kavinsky’s acclaimed ‘Outrun’ highlights for sure. The deep, raw and soulful instrumental brings a cinematic sound which has the power to litterally put you in a virtual movie just listening to music ! And SebastiAn’s vocal part on top is a unique rendering, somewhere between Stevie Wonder and HAL. The Weeknd was invited to sing on the song by Kavinsky himself. As a big fan of his singing skills, the zombie wanted him to give his song the real soul touch that he’d had in mind for ages. His performance reminds of Michael Jackson, a fast and swinging vocal line, extremely addictive ! A-Trak who has been Kavinsky’s pal for years now delivers a banging remix with bass & drums and a beautiful & strange vocal hook. The kind of tune that can be played in a NYC hip hop party, as well as in a techno warehouse in Berlin with the same effect : arms up ! A-Track rules it as always. Midnight Juggernauts have taken the spacey-progressive path for their approach towards ‘Odd Look’. Trancey sounds built around those Scarface-like choirs surround you and bring you back to the early 9O’s chill out era, It’s emotional music, as on their recently released ‘Uncanny Valley’ album. Prince 85 is the newcomer of this selection of X-tra strong producers. His new-hip hop sound fits Kavinsky’s moods perfectly, adding a brilliant re-cut work and some exquisite additional keyboards. Real drinving music, that’s the deal. Surkin has the recipe for producing absolute club anthems, his re-do of Kavinsky’s tune is one more proof of his skills. Sirens, brilliantly produced vocal excerpts and his signature synth sounds alltogether create a happy and hysteric mood that one could imagine create club riots !

EAN: 3516628221262 - A1: ProtoVision A2: ProtoVision (Red Sky Mix Feat. Sugar Tongue Slim) A3: ProtoVision (Boys Noize Remix) B1: ProtoVision (Blood Orange Remix) B2: ProtoVision (Sebastien Tellier Version)
Kavinsky 'ProtoVisio'n is the new Single from "OutRun", the first album. Incl Boy Noize-Remix, Sébastien Tellier Version (vinyl exclusive) / Red Sky Mix feat. STS (vinyl exclusive). It was no easy job to tackle this epic instrumental. When he heard Sugar Tongue Slim's version of Nightcall last summer, Kavinsky knew
he had found the man who could turn Protovision into gold. After burning up the underground rap scene for several years, STS is now one of the fastest rising artists around. Boys Noize remix: Berlin's notorious producer put his hands on Protovision and turned it in into a nervous and elegant club hit. Get ready to rave on that sweaty bass and dark beat. "If it's too loud, you're too old", they said? Blood Orange remix: Between producing tomorrow's pop talents (Solange, Sky Ferreira, Theophilus London) and working on his solo project Blood Orange, England's talent of note Devonté Hynes took the time to add his very own touch to Kavinsky's new release. Giving a fresh and girly feel to the original track, he delightfully transformed it into a groovy pop ballad. Sébastien Tellier Version (vinyl
exclusive): Taste and simplicity is what it took to Tellier to create this version of Protovision ; highlighting hypnotic strings and heroic guitars, the French maestro offered a timeless reinterpetation of the original.

(LP, printed inntersleeves) Blasé is going to release his debut album "BLABLABLA" on March 14, an album that stands as a personal manifesto of his sonic obsessions that open up almost as many ways: 15 original tracks in search of groove.

Thanks to his ears educated on radios and charts from across the Atlantic, he honors this generous vision of pop that encompasses old school hip-hop, R&B, jazz, funk, disco and new-wave, and navigates between different styles in the manner of American artists. Some tracks are in French when others are in English, and feature the singer Anna Majidson, the rappers Jwles and Valee, and the late Oxnard-born Cola Boyy. Thus, on "BLABLABLA" we go from a studio haunted by Quincy Jones to a cellar where The Cure rehearses "Boys Don't Cry"...

Blasé is a French-American pop artist, composer, arranger, producer, singer and author. Since his childhood and teenage years in New York, he has experimented and nourished a sound between 70s rock, electronic music, disco and hiphop. His American musical baggage in hand, he moves to Paris and starts his first band, Haute, with Anna Majidson. A first hit will be born out of their collaboration, “Shut Me Down”, whose Colors session accumulates more than 30 million views on YouTube.
After this first success, and following numerous collaborations with various artists such as Agoria, DJ Pone, Lala&ce, Niro or Jwles, Blasé has now his own signature sound. Considered an alien by his peers, his first EP “Pourquoi Blasé?” released in 2023 on French cult label Record Makers (Kavinsky, Cola Boyy, Sebastien Tellier…) demonstrates his unique talent for blending Chic, The Strokes and Manu Chao.
“BLABLABLA”, Blasé’s debut album to be released on March 14th stands as a personal manifesto, full of seemingly naive words and pop explorations: 15 original songs in search for the groove.

With ears trained on US radio and charts, Blasé celebrates a generous vision of pop that encompasses old-school hip-hop, R&B, jazz, funk, disco, and new wave, navigating between different styles like American artists do. Some songs are in French while others are in English, featuring singer Anna Majidson, French sensation rapper Jwles, cult hip-hop artist Valee, and the late Californian disco figure Cola Boyy. On “BLABLABLA”, we move from a studio haunted by Quincy Jones to a basement where The Cure’s “Boys Don’t Cry” is being rehearsed.
These references can come to mind while listening to BLABLABLA:
Gainsbourg, Kool and the Gang, old and new cold-wave, The Stranglers, Dire Straits, Bill Withers, Saint Germain, MC Solaar, The Bee Gees, Drake making cumbia, Zero 7, DJ Premier, Chic, Benny Sings, Justice, Van Halen or Defdtones guitars.

Not bad for a frenchie in his twenties!
On the mixing side, the work is shared by some big names (Neal Pogue, Bambounou, Alf, Pierrick Devin, I:Cube) for a lush result : 15 tracks – 15 bangers.
Despite its title, there’s no downtime or unnecessary chatter, but a “BLABLABLA” reflecting Blasé’s desire to express himself freely and sincerely as a fully realized artist.

(MR DAN'S MAGIC WAND, GILLIGAN MOSS MIX, TONY ALLEN BONUS BEAT, PLUS ORIGINAL) REPRESS OF THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUE AND REMASTER OF 'LA RITOURNELLE' ALONGSIDE ITS TWO MOST SUCCESSFUL REMIXES AND TONY ALLEN'S ISOLATED DRUM TRACK FROM THE ORIGINAL SONG.

Tracklist
A1. La Ritournelle
A2. La Ritournelle (Mr Dan's Magic Wand Mix)

B1. La Ritournelle (Gilligan Moss Mix)
B2. La Ritournelle (Tony Allen Bonus Beat)


La Ritournelle is undoubtedly Sebastien Tellier's biggest song. Since its first release in 2003, it kept growing and circulating throughout the world year after year like a virus. Considered by many as the ultimate love anthem of the 21st century, the song has now infected numerous hearts and lovers, and gained a classic status.

The song is made of 7 epic minutes of a sensual and mesmerizing piano hook, with the late afro-beat maestro Tony Allen on drums, lush romantic strings, Philippe Zdar on the mix, and a heartbreaking lyric at the center of the song that goes: Oh nothing's going to change my love for you / I wanna spend my life with you So we make love on the grass under the moon / No one call tell, damned if I do Forever journey on golden avenues / I drift in your eyes since I love you I got that beat in my veins for only rule / Love is to share, mine is for you Since the release, we have received countless love messages.

One from a famous DJ who told us he heard the tune while driving on the freeway and had to stop on the side of the road, in tears. Many couples have asked whether Tellier would perform "La Ritournelle" at their wedding ceremony. It was sampled by The Weeknd for the song on "Kiss Land" (2013) and used in several long feature films. "La Ritournelle": often been copied and covered, but rarely equaled.
For the first time, Record Makers is releasing the song with its most successful remixes on one EP, and a special gift in memory of his genius: Tony Allen's bonus beat, the original drum track, a must have for DJs. Also included: Gilligan Moss' mix, an atmospheric remix and a streaming hit, and Mr Dan's Magic Wand mix, the chorus/verse version of "La Ritournelle", basically Unfinished Sympathy pt. II, according to the NME.

“Epic, gorgeous dance track we can't, can't, can't stop playing” - The Sunday Times

“A big balearic goosebump of stirrings, rolling pianos and funky drumming, No with this odd male vocal that heightens its strange psychedelic vulnerability. („) One day, Frenchman Sébastien Tellier's slow-burning club anthem "La Ritournelle" will be huge. (...) Basically, we're talking "unfinished Sympathy pt. II"." - NME (2005)

(2xLP, printed innersleeves, sticker sheet) nit is the genius underdog of the current French chanson scene. After playing along with Sébastien Tellier or Juliette Armanet (a huge success in France), after remixing Phoenix, Myd, Dita Von Teese, Cola Boyy, Tony Allen or Jane Birkin, here he comes with his debut album. The balearic sound is always a big nit influence, feel good electronics & lush acoustic chords.

Tracklist

A1. Bas
A2. Autostop
A3. Insecure

B1. Acid Arizona
B2. Primeiro Amor
B3. Puzzle Effect

C1. Paradoxe A
C2. Paradoxe B
C3. Pazzo
C4. Zoom !

D1. Drawn to Me
D2. Looney Tune
D3. Haut

Spotted by French label Record Makers (Sébastien Tellier, Kavinsky, AIR, Cola Boyy) with his 2017 “Dessous de plage” first EP, nit has since grown from funky DIY library music to a lush and complex groovy sound. The magic of this debut album “Big Bang Puzzle” is a keen sense of composition and an innate affinity for 90’s European electronica.

It’s a playful album, the work of an artist at the peak of his craft, determined to twist styles and references (Daft Punk, Ennio Morricone, Robert Miles, Vangelis...) in order to give them a new form.

“Big Bang Puzzle” is a tangle of psychedelic and cartoon-esque pieces, an abstract modernist painting of sounds inspired by vintage pop music. The cover, created by Swiss artist Flora Mottini, offers a first glimpse of his brand new universe.

But it’s also by collaborating with French iconic design studio H5 that nit suddenly enters the French Touch genealogy. nit takes the shape of an n that grows legs and arms to become a cheeky cartoon character traveling through a real space-time continuum. Parisian H5 studio has been involved since the end of the ‘90s in the design of strong visual concepts for French Touch’s elite (Etienne de Crécy, AIR, Mirwais). French music at its best from which nit is a direct descendant. And one who expands and opens even further: pop, italo-disco, trip-hop impulses, Morriconian cavalcades, lo-fi aesthetics, Caribbean music. Producer and mixer Lucien Krampf (Oklou, Ascendant Vierge, Casual Gabberz, CRYSTALLMESS) was the person in charge of mixing this ambitious record.

nit is both a question and an answer, and a musical enigma that pushes us to explore the far reaches of our imagination…

INFO

"UNITED", Tristesse Contemporaine’s new album is like a space shuttle, full of metropolitan and eccentric music makers.

Inside the shuttle: Narumi, Leo & Mike, respectively from Japan, Sweden and Jamaican-British. All "united" behind the unique Tristesse Contemporaine flag and led since the start by French label Record Makers (Kavinsky, Sebastien Tellier, Cola Boyy…).

After three rock & post-punk infused albums: "Tristesse Contemporaine" (2012), "Stay Golden" (2013) and "Stop and Start" (2017), they’re off to a new start and open a new cycle with their new opus "UNITED".

Who other than young prodigy Lewis OfMan, the one-man band behind hits like "Attitude" and renowned collaborations including Rejjie Snow or Carly Rae Jepsen, to join the joyous ride?

After hearing "Sly Fox"'s first demo in 2019, they convinced him to produce a whole album for them and became the fourth member of sorts, adding his pop sensibility, mixing genres and emotions with funky basslines, strong hooks, and digital arrangements.

A free-spirited album filled with irresistible beat-driven tunes thanks to Mike's thunderous voice, Narumi's sparkling synths and Leo's gleaming guitar, conquering new territories from reggae to 90’s breakbeat or New-York disco. A unique and united style glued together by a rare ability to switch moods and dynamics in a gleam of light, like a skilled DJ would.

"Nothing Left to Win?" as the opening track goes.

Well yes, precisely.

Far from distorting Tristesse Contemporaine, "UNITED", by flirting with club culture, triggered a new need to play with their origins, using old & new genres to project themselves into a new self.

INFO

In January 2004, Sébastien Tellier released "Politics", an ambitious album which preaches the defense of the oppressed peoples, in a luxurious dressing. The press ignites, but he was considered as an original elitist. Nevertheless, "La Ritournelle" is a piece which whole France knows, without knowing who sings it.

In September 2005, lead by his Ritournelle which crossed the Channel by swimming, the same album goes out to the UK with crash. "Epic, gorgeous dance track we can't, can't, can't stop playing", The Sunday Times, October 2005.

Sébastien Tellier's live shows reached a kind of artistic summit, a model of intensity and strakness. It is from this control that came the idea to record, on December 30th 2005, an acoustic session of his directory accompanied by the pianist Simon Dalmais.

The fruit of this session gave birth to this album, "Sessions", intimate and straight. "Sessions" is a collection of timeless pieces, stemming from his directory, in the right lined by the authors / composers / performers who mark their period. In bonus of this recording produced as an album studio by Alf (Air, Phoenix), Sébastien Tellier recorded a resumption of Christophe's "La Dolce Vita", as well as an instrumental unpublished one "Classic".

This is the first time this album is pressed on vinyl.

It’s a properly transcendent Kalahari debut as S.A.M. makes nods to ’90s Eurodance and deeper, spiritual invocations.

At the helm of multiple labels, but this marks a Kalahari debut for the Danish artist. Sometimes anthemic, sometimes operating from a more meditative space, but always serving as an outlet for ecstatic release. Rapturous big room ascension into more contemplative territory.

Channelling some divine NRG in the vocal hooks, like much of their work, an air of blissed intent cloaks the whole thing. This is a suite of tech and deep house that strikes a balance between the introspective and direct, the metaphysical and corporeal.

Pitting sonic immersion against forward momentum has almost become a blueprint for any Kalahari release, and here, we bear witness to a prime example. Heady stuff.

* Repress in plain white disco sleeve *

Forest Drive West returns to Livity Sound with the 'Dualism' EP, a tour de force of stripped dub
aesthetics and swirling psychedelic rhythms.
One of the finest breakthrough UK producers of recent years, in a short space of time Forest Drive
West has created an enviable catalogue across labels such as Livity Sound, Rupture, Echocord,
Whities and Mantis. This new EP marks some of his best work to date.
The final track on the EP, 'Scorpion', features Melbourne based percussionist Lucky Pereira whose
frenetic but tightly locked drums add a fizzing energy to Forest Drive West's deep atmospheric rhythm
track.
Livity Sound is a label set up by Peverelist in 2011 as a vehicle for a raw and exploratory strain of UK
techno, rooted in the heritage of UK dance music and sound system culture. It has since become one
of the UK's foremost protagonists for cutting edge underground electronic music.
Tracklist;
a1: Dualism a2: New Day b1: Ritual b2: Scorpion ft Lucky Pereira
