BBC World Service Broadcast - Kagabas LP - 13th March 2021
@bbc-world-service

I've recorded this album at a Kagabas village, in the Sierra Nevada
mountain in Colombia. Kagabas are indigenous people who are concerned by the modern world's attempts to destroy the earth. As there's no writing, music is a way to pass knowledge down through generations and connect with environment. This LP combines songs, field recordings and musical compositions. They approved this album to be released. All benefits will go to Nativa.org to support the replanting of trees & getting land back

Paisley Dark - Jason Peters

Harold Boué AKA Abstraxion e Lion's Drums, é um produtor e músico francês radicado em Marselha.

Como Abstraxion começou a produzir música em 2005, e desde então já lançou pelo selo de Nicolas Jaar, pelo selo Dischi Autunno de Jennifer Cardini, e co-dirige a Biologic Records com o seu parceiro no crime DC Salas,

Em 2018 Harold sentiu vontade de explorar diferentes territórios musicais e lançou Lion's Drums,  que permeia e homenageia o caráter de sua cidade de Marselha: um pouco áspera, embora luminosa, e influenciada por elementos das culturas mediterrânea, africana e do norte da Europa. Isso se traduz em sons fortemente percussivos, nos quais os grooves tribais de disco invocam o espírito do vodu-techno. O seu primeiro EP  saiu pelo selo Hivern Discs de John Talabot, que trazia uma faixa co-escrita com Fantastic Man.

O artista viaja o mundo com a sua música, e com os seus hardwares seja ao vivo ou em sets de dj em lugares como o Pitchfork Festival, Berghain / Panorama-bar e, ocasionalmente, compartilhando os decks para sessões consecutivas com amigos musicais amados, como Roman Flügel e Budino , Bufiman, Chloé, Zozo ...

O seu Altercast é uma viagem atmosférica e profunda imersa em diversos estilos, e além de tudo, hoje é o dia de seu aniversário, ficamos muito felizes em de alguma forma fazer parte desta comemoração, e o desejamos imensas felicidades.

Harold Boué aka Abstraxion and Lion's Drums, is a French producer and musician based in Marseille. 

He started to produce music as Abstraxion in 2005, and has so far released a fair amount of EP's as well as two studio albums ("Break of Lights" on Nicolas Jaar's label Other People - 2013 & "She Thought She Would Last Forever" on Biologic Records - 2016).  His latest EP "Black Vulture" was released May 2019 on Jennifer Cardini's label Dischi Autunno, including remixes by Black Merlin and Interstellar Funk. 

In 2018 Harold felt the desire to explore different musical territories and launched Lion's Drums, which he's developing in parallel with his Abstraxion project.  Lion's Drums music is inspired from and pays tribute to the character of his city Marseille: a bit rough though luminous, and influenced by elements of the Mediterranean, African and Northern European cultures.  This translates into heavily percussive sounds, in which tribal disco grooves invoke the spirits of voodoo-techno.  He released a first EP on John Talabot's label Hivern Discs, which featured a track co-written with Fantastic Man, and made a psychedelic acid remix of "Goca Dunya" by Turkish band Altin Gün.

Harold co-runs Biologic records with partner in crime DC Salas, and has released music by Matisa, ڭليثرGlitter٥٥, Malcolm, among others.  He travels across the globe to perform a hardware live act or dj sets in places such as Pitchfork festival or Berghain/Panorama-bar, and occasionally sharing the decks for wild back-to-back sessions with beloved musical friends such as Roman Flügel, Budino, Bufiman, Chloé, Zozo... 

Your Altercast is an atmospheric and profound journey immersed in several styles, and besides everything today is your birthday, we are very happy to be in some way part of this celebration, and we wish you all the best.

Lion's Drums - Alter Disco Podcast 113

The noise reverberated in the old empty room – it sent shivers down his spine as he recalled the last time that he was here. There was someone missing this time, it did not feel quite the same.

He wondered what it might take to heal a heart – for his had been broken a long time ago and torn to pieces in the aftermath of a bitter feud which had left him feeling twisted and lost.

Someone had once told him that love would tear him apart, he wished he’s listened now.
 
A remix of a classic is always risky business. Get it right, you too can become a hero. Get it wrong and well, that’s just bad news.

F.T.G & Myndrill have taken on the monstrous task of remixing the Joy Division classic ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’. They have done so with remarkable taste and in turn have created a club ready version which does seem to pay true homage to the poignancy and beauty of the original.

Lion's Drums' name is an apt description of the Marseille producer's sound. Rhythm and heavy percussion are at the centre of his work — once you've heard one of his tracks, you'll be hard pressed not to recognise the rest of his musical endeavours.

Beyond these core components, Lion's Drums - real name Harold Boué - draws inspiration from his surroundings. In his own words, it's 'a bit rough, luminous though', just like external perceptions of Marseille. But perhaps most discernibly, it pays tribute to the diversity of the city, taking cues from Mediterranean, African and Northern European culture and tradition.

It's under his other moniker though that he first began making music all the way back in 2005. As Abstraxion Harold released several EPs and LPs, including outings on Nicolas Jaar’s Other People, Jennifer Cardini’s label Dischi Autunno and Biologic Records - the label he co-runs with Brussels producer DC Salas. It's been a home for a wealth of exciting artists since launching, including but not limited to Matisa, ڭليثرGlitter٥٥ and Malcolm, and the label bosses themselves.

More recently Harold's had his edit hat firmly on. Two hypnotic drum workouts of Manos Tsangaris came out last autumn on Cocktail d’Amor, one of which was premiered here on R$N, and these were quickly followed by long player, La Batterie, which consisted of edits, remixes and original works, all focused on the potential of the drum. 

Of course, with Harold there's no rest for the wicked so expect plenty more in store under both his aliases this year. But first, we invited him to record our mix for our main series, and here it is in all its mutating rhythmic glory...

Lion's Drums: The 'Ransom Note' Mix

Logical REC002 [Pressy & Phred Noir]

Madd Rod's vision of music comes from his early-developed curiosity, which has made the artist explore multiple soundscapes while pursuing his North Star. For him, music is much more than an assembling of sounds: it is an enduring reminder of the experiences he has lived through it.

Rodrigo was born in Lisbon and raised in its outskirts, inevitably influenced by its intriguing melting pot. The cultural mess of the city had a profound impact on his music, blending a fresh technological sound design with traditional elements from ancient cultures.

In 2017, after releasing on Deeplomatic, he moved to the south of Germany, where he took a deeper dive into music production. There, he launched his record label, Inner Shah, and found a receptive crowd with whom he could field-test his tracks.

In 2019, Madd Rod achieved new milestones which motivated him to go further: a few international gigs, and the start of his three-summer residency at The Lounge Vale do Lobo — where he played extended sets, building from Downtempo to Techno.

After the busy summer, Madd Rod went on his first short tour, during which he started producing the first tracks of his album — the stops were Lisbon, Berlin, Tübingen, and Paris.

In 2020, Rodrigo took over the label management of VIAGE, where he released several EPs. His first album, "Dystopian Desert", was released on Inner Shah on July 31st of the same year.

In 2021 he maintained a prolific output, releasing 18 new original tracks and nine remixes and curating three compilations for Inner Shah. Highlights of the year include his chart-topper remix of Devran by SIS, the Shaman Call EP on Harabe, and "Rumors", Madd Rod's first EP on Discotexas.

In 2022, he moved to Berlin and music took him further with his first Hollywood synchronization as well as debuting performances in Greece and Brazil, followed by his first tour in India.

It feels gooood, to be back! And what an amazing start with no other than ABSTRAXION from Marseille, France cooking our little sweet spot LYKKE on Söder into a hotpot. Mixing that stretches genres, ages and intensities. A real deliverance. Rumours has it this might not be the last time we see him..

Harold Boué, aka Lion’s Drums and Abstraxion, is a French producer based in Marseille.
The desire to explore different musical territories to his Abstraxion alias led to Lion’s Drums’s birth.  As a tribute to his city, Marseille, Lion’s Drums creates music with its characteristics in mind: a bit rough though luminous and influenced by elements of the Mediterranean, African, and Northern European. This translates into heavily percussive sounds, italo-disco grooves, tribal house and voodoo-techno.

Lion’s Drums released a first EP on John Talabot’s Hivern Discs, made a psychedelic acid remix of “Goca Dunya” (Altin Gün), and in 2021 released his first album “Kagabas”.  “Kagabas” is an audio project comprising new compositions based on field recordings of original songs the Kagabas people sing to wild animals and their habitat.

A second artist album, “La Batterie”, was released on Berlin-based Cocktail d’Amore (2022).  Lion’s Drums nailed it with his edits for Sandy B’s classics “Student Nights” & “Amajovi Jovi”.
Harold also runs Biologic Records with partner in crime DC Salas.

Last but not least! We made a little collaboration with our friend Palmroos production, who runs a podcast series– Electronic Talks. Listen in here to get a background behind the music on Lion's Drums set and what he has been up to down in Marseille. Lion's Drums is a very versatile artist who has juggled many many different projects throughout the years. He has a lot of interesting stories to listen in on.

BRUS 31 - Lion's Drums

Millions of smells at once fell upon him - harsh, sweet, metallic, affectionate, dangerous, disturbing, huge as at home, tiny as dust particles, rough as cobblestones, subtle and complex, like clockwork. The air became solid, faces, surfaces, corners appeared in it, as if space was filled with huge rough balls, slippery pyramids, giant spiny crystals, and through all this I had to squeeze through it, as in a dream, through a dark junk shop clogged with old ugly furniture. It lasted how long something instant. He opened his eyes and everything was gone. It was not another world - it was the old familiar world that turned to him with a different, unknown side, this side opened for him for a moment and closed tightly again before he could figure it out.
Summer kicks off with ‘How Come U Know', a 4-track EP by accomplished producer and DJ Captain Mustache from Paris. For this EP, he teams up with rave legend Adamski, exactly 30 years after his worldwide smash hit 'Killer', and electro goth star Linda Lamb, who has previously worked with Vitalic.
Title track 'How Come U Know' is an electro rave basher featuring Adamski's vocals and cheeky lyrics about the all-seeing eye and loss of privacy. On 'Bliss', the deep and esoteric voice of Linda Lamb takes us to another world without possession - electro wave in optima forma. The remaining two tracks on 'How Come U Know' showcase Captain Mustache's crispy electro pop sound, made to dance all summer long.
