A404005 Soufflé Caramel - Club de Jazz (Clips)

Release Date: 12th of October 2021

Aurore 404 is welcoming French artist Soufflé Caramel for an EP of jazzy house music cooked during lockdown. The EP “Club de Jazz“ has been composed with his drum machines, synths, and the help of musician friends (pianist, saxophonist, trumpetist), whose performances are heard all throughout the EP. Through his music, Soufflé Caramel is taking us to a New York jazz club in the mid 1960’s and the loungey, airy atmosphere of the EP sets the scene for a record full of smooth-jazz vibes with a soaring affection for the deeper side of things.

A404DIGI001 Disset - Calamero (Includes Harry Wills Remix)

Release Date: 26th April 2024

Aurore 404 kicks off 2024 with a new digital solo EP series spearheaded by French artist Disset. His 5-track EP, featuring a remix by Harry Wills, marks the inaugural release.

In this EP, Disset literally constructs a vibrant realm of melodies, where bass lines serve as foundations, drums echo through streets, and notes intertwine like inhabitants of a fictional city he envisions: Calamero. Each track represents a different aspect within this fictional city. The concept of retrofuturism is portrayed musically through a combination of modern electronic machines and samples of traditional instruments, tribal percussion, and ambient sounds.

From the end of a hallway in a rusty student residency, deep down in the south suburbs of Paris, lil' NairLess serves up an hour of tasteful dubby house for the very first Rising Tapes output!

Rising Tapes #1 - NairLess

After a few months long hiatus, busy throwing their first club night among other delightful adventures, Aurore 404 is back with its second release: Ablutions. 

Kicking off the EP is Yawn by blnd.blld, a young producer from Lyon, currently living in Toulouse, who runs his very own radio show on the meticulous Vandelay web radio. Yawn starts off the EP in a quiet manner, but with a steady beat. This seductive mellow track is sure to warm you up inside out. 

Part of Aurore 404’s residents and with a recent release on Chikyu-u, NairLess, comes from the southern suburbs of Paris with Abalone, affirming his penchant for a deeper and dubbier house track that travels through space and time. With an unafraid bass, hints of tribal drums, and sampling of street sounds, this encompassing sound promises to surround you thoroughly. 

Originally from Haute-Normandie, with recent releases on Valby Rotary and Storytellers, Mryn has a real knack for crafting a lengthy track with utmost simplicity. His neatly-packed contribution to the EP, Dancing Alone, is no exception. Dancing Alone is tempered with a relentless beat and a captivatingly menacing bassline. 

Last but not least is EYO by Aurore 404’s very own Pépé Elle, hailing from Paris, who pairs up with NairLess to produce live music and has had recent releases on Hazed & Confucius and 1980 House Recordings. EYO fleshes out a raw and dynamic soundscape that is fueled up with lilting vocals following a sample-heavy approach and swearing by TR 606 drums.

[A404CAR001] Various Artists - "Cut A Rug 001" EP [PREVIEW]

Pre-order: https://aurore404records.bandcamp.com/album/cut-a-rug-001
Release Date: 7th of June 2019

In Aurore 404’s latest release, the title says it all. Get ready to 'cut a rug' with these dancey and groovy tunes where each track restlessly calls for summer. 

In "Da Mango", the supergroup composed of Coco À Gogo (Tartines Records duo formed by Nuno and John Tareugram) and Colkin delivers deep disco-flavored tones progressively drifting across a spacey soundscape in what feels like a jam session at its peak. 

Carrying the unique Pépé Elle style, “El Profesor” hints at UK Garage with synth-drenched dubstep sounds, complemented by chopped up vocal samples—the kind that is a floor-ready, peak-time treat. 

Atawël’s "Car Stereo" is the broken stereo in your car—or at least the catchier and hypnotically melodic version of it. In this long-awaited track, Atawël integrates cut-up radio frequencies to his mellowed drum programming and the result is a beautifully defiant melody penetrating through the cracks and glitches. Midway through, the radio breaks and restarts, punching in the arpeggios as the final touch. 

Baloonarium’s "Astro Cocktail" leads off with a straightforward driving bassline and a shimmering melody, which then shapeshifts from a more serious tone to a groovier, as the shiny vocals gently breeze in like a beach memory surfacing from afar.

[A404CAR001] Various Artists - "Cut A Rug 001" EP [PREVIEW]

Last track of the EP, the two part « Laksa » carries the listener on a more nostalgic note, yet catchy, dancy and warehouse friendly. Build around a deep breakbeat kick, the track starts with a saturated 909 drum pattern on which drifts a melodic and gloomy pad. Progressively filtered, the beat gives way to soft rain, on which the breakbeat pattern rebuilds, driven by three powerful acid lines.

For our 4th Rising Tapes, we are pleased to host @Heimyl from Lyon. Co-founder of @UnderGroove_Records and @BMK collective, he is always pushing the boundaries of Lyon’s underground music scene.

After releasing a deep UK Garage groover on 3 Feet Deep Records, the freshly launched sublabel of Aurore 404, Pépé Elle is back, this time with a solo release dubbed ’69 Chronicles’. 
Consisting of three original pieces and a remix from Naux, the EP focuses on the production of tracks using only two kind of (iconic) drum machines: the 606 and the 909.
The booming beat of ‘Nine 0’, ‘Wired Sx’s lush breakbeat, the grandiose bridge of ‘A 69 Story’ and the Cloud 9 feeling of its remix by Naux will all make sure to make you turn your head upside down…

[A404CAR002 Various Artists - "Cut A Rug 002" EP [PREVIEW]

Pre-order: https://aurore404records.bandcamp.com/album/cut-a-rug-002
Release Date: 26th of February 2021


Aurore 404 is back with the 2nd Volume of Cut A Rug, a series dedicated to dance numbers and relentless groovers. All 6 pieces are composed by french artists, their genre oscillating between house, deep house and italo disco. Noise Ark and Chouba are kicking off the release with great house tunes both based on steady groovy basslines. Then, Doublure, with his mesmerizing synth and out of space arpeggiator, smoothly bridges the first and the latter part of the EP.
NairLess takes over to do what he does best: some funky drums and a catchy melody dancing around a solid Morodesque bassline sequence. Then comes S.R who cooked an epic italo burner with a strong old school vibe built around playful synths answering each other - we cannot wait to blast this one on dancefloors, once they reopen.
To end this chapter, Vanderkraft dusts off the Delorean with his spacey ‘Antépénultième’, filled with transporting melodies, bouncing drums and some 303 funkiness to top it all off.
