/AMBIANCE\ is one, of other projects by same producer.
/AMBIANCE\ likes analogue electronics.
/AMBIANCE\ it is not a lie this project began as a strictly tape cassette experiment. 
/"     "\ is inspired by soundtracks, films, drum machines, synthesizers, life's transformative events. 
/"     "\'s first instrument was the saxophone. 
/"     "\ is happy to introduce itself. 
/"     "\ strives for balance in a world without us. 
/"     "\ is only one car, of a long train on a musical expedition. 

/AMBIANCE\ is one of other musical projects by a Nicaraguan artist living in Los Angeles. Grew up in Miami, Florida....surrounded by cuban music and booty bass. thats where the love for electro, new wave, freestyle and bass began. in the meantime, J. picks up the saxophone and begins to learn music through friends and musician parents of friends.... soon playing in...concert band, ska band, rock band, jazz bands, wedding bands, with DJs, in pop bands etc etc etc.....

Moved to New York to study jazz saxophone...did that for a couple years...moved back to Miami where J continued to produce and write music. Toured for 3 years with Maynard Ferguson, a jazz trumpeter, all the time writing and producing music. Moved back to NY to write music for friends videos. Got into the scoring for image and commercials. Got involved in all aspects of art...performance, film, slides, collage, installation, the avant-garde and surreal. had a couple of bands.... 2s and 4s (a 5 piece avant-jazz group). Something in Spanish/Miami Drive (a electro duo with singer Michelle Perez)....played and recorded with/in friends bands. 

After about 10 years in NY, having undergone a transformative life experience....J decided to start a purely, analogue, live and into cassette..... 

J, performing as /AMBIANCE\ in NY for a year or 2 

Moved to Los Angeles had not performed live for a bit, so started next project, COMEGATOS, still using analogue electronics but not using cassette tape. J, was honored to have released his very first EP ever, through one of his favorite producers label, Disque Discos, run by el Don ispiratore, Alec Sander. 3 tracks / 3 videos. At the same time J decided to rerecord all the /AMBIANCE\ material again, without using cassette tape so how he has the LOFI and HIFI versions. Making music for commercials and stuff, producing electronic music as /AMBIANCE\ and COMEGATOS and deeply learning some of his favorite jazz standards with friends and playing free jazz.....lives with his girlfriend a in a guest house in the Hollywood Hills...trying to make friends. Oh and has a little doggie, Lula.

LIVE TWO

Bandcamp

/AMBIANCE\ - LIVE TWO [Kyma Komplex]

Two seasoned French DJs/producers team up in a Parisian studio for a vibrant alliance destined at the more elusive dancefloors - vous avez dit disco noir?

Long-time chums Jerry Bouthier and Julien Plaisir de France met at the beginnings of rave and forged an enduring friendship based on mutual artistic respect as well as a fondness for absurd humour and all things 80s. Both went on to define their own path whilst regularly contemplating working together on a project, alas to no avail. Until recently when, on a whim, they cracked open the champagne in the studio, let the jokes flow and finally got down to it. Created on vintage tools, fat synths and classic drum machines ‘Eccitatissimo’ (the clue is in the name) throws hypnotic basslines, chorus guitars and frantic effects into the mix; a 120 BPM peak-time banger that pushes the right buttons, groovy yet trance-like with spaced-out breakdown. 

Balearic player of the early Parisian rave/house scene (with late brother Tom), long since relocated to London, Jerry Bouthier eventually joined the dots between dancefloor and fashion as he became DJ stalwart of the Kitsuné label/clothing brand (owned by Daft Punk’s manager), touring around the world on the back of his residency at infamous London club BoomBox; whilst simultaneously maturing as diligent sound-designer for the fashion world (Vivienne Westwood etc), a craft - characterising moods - tailor-made for Jerry. Over the years he has created hundreds of soundtracks for the catwalks of London, Paris, Milan, NY and deejayed at the parties of some of fashion’s biggest names, yet still relishes his me time in the studio looking for the perfect beat/melody.

Having learnt the bass in his teens in the aim of joining his mates’ band, Julien Plaisir de France quickly caught the electronic bug, released his first 12”s on seminal Parisian house label Pro-Zak Trax and soon scored a club smash under his Sweet Light moniker with electro monster ‘Abusator’ (championed by 2 Many DJs, Tiga, Ivan Smaghe…). He renamed himself Plaisir de France and became a reference on the edit scene breathing new life in plethora of classics. Julien has just rounded off twenty years of music-making with the release of his debut album '#20’ celebrating timeless French electronic pop with the help of a motley bunch of stand-out vocalists and his own personal gallic twist. Still, true to himself, he remains a generous, eternally enthusiastic dj.

Jerry Bouthier: “We both love the original new wave/post-punk of yore, the sound of NY clubs such as Mud Club, Danceteria etc, when electronic instruments started to infiltrate studios and dancefloors. Futuristic music to dance to - obviously fed by disco - but also packed with attitude and interesting new sounds. A landmark in time… With Julien our musical trajectories crossed again thanks to the current dark disco thump that harps back to that golden era, it was the perfect moment to combine our inspirations and contribute to this scene that keeps on pushing the limits… A good occasion to spend time with Julien who makes you look at life with a smile, priceless!"

Julien Plaisir de France: “Sure, ‘Eccitatissimo’ is all about dancing… from the past to the future, from maximal to minimal! Jerry and I go a long way, our friendship has lived through various eras and music styles. We may share an appreciation for bands, our roots I guess. Our initial bond stems from having succumbed early on to the drive of the synthetic beat though. We never fail to value powerful ideas or inspired musicianship, hence the logic of combining our skills - my tendency to let sonic concepts run wild and Jerry’s no nonsense study of what makes bodies move - in order to deliver fresh, effective tracks.”

PREMIERE: Jerry Bouthier - Plaisir De France - Eccitatissimo (Outtake's Punk Walk Remix)

Universe

Universe (Captain Mustache Remix)

K024 was crafted and delivered by Larmour and his something we have been anxiously waiting for.

The British music producer and abstract artist is on a voyage into the spheres of electronic music and art - his mission is to explore points of convergence and reinterpret his experiences through his unique lens. Larmour sound is a heady and intoxicating rush of future nostalgia that leans into moody eighties synth work, tight electro rhythms, and euphoric old-school breaks. We are talking about music that dreams longingly of future worlds that never quite were.

We are so proud and excited to have his debut on Karakter, we don't have enough words to describe what we feel. It has been a long way since we first idealised this release. 

Youth EP, is based on two fantastic originals, complemented with remixes by two carefully selected artists, Luca Draccar and Mindbender. The final result is this gentle four tracks pack, with power, emotion and whatever more you might feel. 


Written & Produced by Dan Larmour
Remixes by Luca Draccar and Marten Attling

Larmour - Youth (Original Mix)

Exclusive: Charles Webster - I Wonder Why (Charles Webster's 'Still Wondering' Mix)

Two years after the release of Charles Webster's album Decision Time, which was praised equally by critics and musicians, the British artist delivers three new mixes for one of the album's stand-out tracks I Wonder Why. Besides Atjazz taking on remix duties, and a musical approach from Nowism, Charles himself reworked the track to give it an even darker note accentuating the track's message by going without a continuous bass line and emphasizing on sounds, which perfectly go with the spoken vocals. Webster proves once again that you can create House music without its ordinary features and basically approves what the press already said: "There's almost no House music here, though it still runs as a hidden pulse through the record." 

Charles Webster's I Wonder Why Mixes are out on Miso Records.

Le Chapiteau & Arcene K invitent Wasko - 30 Novembre 2022

Finally this moment has come. Our very own Jokios Kulturos delivers his debut album. There’s been much gossip and speculation about his music preferences. The link between his pseudonym and his music selections is clear and this album is a perfect manifestation of him through the sounds and vibes. "ALL IS ONE" is not only music. It is storytelling. It is a journey through the mind and musical tastes of Dovydas. This release unites so many genres in one coherent whole. Take a deep breath and enjoy! All IS ONE!
