Dope Inspires Dope

Ashyl : @ashyl-music
Agön : @agonsound
Tim Karbon : @timkarbon
Axone : @axone-music

During the first pandemic, @axone-music was making 2step-ish and UK bassy
productions in his apartment, culminating in the "Spring's getting
late" EP a year later. At the time, Emile de Wilde aka @mayflo1
introduced Axone to an online community that organized musical
battles on discord. It was fun, enriching and unifying for an entire
branch of French electronic music. Little did Axone know that there
was a massive community in France gathered around the aesthetics
of British electronic music. UK Funky, UK bass, 2step, Dustep, Jungle
and DnB... Here he befriended @agonsound, @timkarbon and discovered the
dark side of @messesbasses under his alias @ashyl-music ...

Speaking of darkness, Axone's involvement in the bass scene led him
to discover the gloomy and sometimes overly serious side of this type of music. An idea came to him... "What if we brought Bass music back to the House dancefloor we know with Beat X Changers ? What if we made a bass music album that could be danced to by our people, our community, the dancers? "

Although Beat X is more naturally oriented towards house and hip-
hop, the label is above all eclectic, with no real aesthetic claims. Its
aim is to showcase the music of emerging artists, and to develop
thematic projects that bring together different disciplines and scenes.

Bass X Changers is part of this transversal vision of music. Axone's
only watchword for the three artists featured on this opus was: "make it danceable, not just by tapping your foot or shaking your butt, but make it so that dancers can really get into it".
So here it is, Bass X Changers : Two bangers tracks from Ashyl and Tim Karbon and two more introspective landscape by Agôn and Axone, crafted with love and ready to make you bounce.

Rafiki : @rafiki-1

Dope Inspires Dope

Ustice is a 4-track EP that pays homage to different periods of Rafiki's life : the four tracks were produced almost 10 years apart.

Always looking for honest, simple and effective Groove, this ep has the particularity of containing the very first track created by the producer : 
313 delta return (track created on a Detroit-Paris plane on Imaschine NI in May 2014)

Without a doubt a club techno/deep house oriented EP.

The four pieces were created at different times in the composer's life. 
The ep addresses themes like love, group, injustice, anger, resilience.

Dope Inspires Dope

The Urban Bird has cardboard wings
Standing on the ledge
Pulled in by Grace

To fly you need only jump
Surrender to the air

Fall
In

Quand je commence à faire de la musique, les idées sur lesquelles je m’appuie ne viennent jamais directement de moi. Un sample, un son attrapé au vol par mon oreille-enregistreur, un accident sonore à l’origine d’un rythme ou d’un accord... voilà le genre d’évènements magiques qui allument le feu de ma créativité et me mettent le pied à l’étrier.

L’Oiseau Urbain que j’aime mettre en scène est la personnification de cette oreille poétique, curieuse et attentive à la moindre opportunité musicale. Amoureux des sons des villes, des champs, des moulins à vents, des cailloux et des forêts… Prêt à entrer en relation avec n’importe quel bruit, pourvu qu’il puisse nous raconter une histoire.

Mettre de la conscience sur ma manière d’écouter le monde me permet d’aller plus loin, d’explorer plus avant dans le paysage sonore. Mieux j’écoute le monde pour ce qu’il est, mieux je me laisse toucher par son chant.

On a Bird Scale est le résultat de la balade sonore réalisée au long-court ces deux dernières années. Cet album arrive au terme de dix ans de pratique de production musicale. Un voyage qui m’a donné l’occasion de prendre pleinement conscience des mécanismes créatifs présents depuis toujours dans ma musique. De la chambre au studio jusqu’à vos oreilles, je suis fier de partager enfin ces morceaux qui m’accompagnent depuis longtemps.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

When I start making music, the seed ideas don’t ever come directly from me. A sample, a sound passing by caught by my ear-recorder, a happy mistake creating a rythm or a chord…These are the kind of magical events that light up the fire of my creativity and get me going.

The Urban Bird that I’ve been developping is the embodiment of this poetic ear, curious and mindful of the smallest musical opportunity. He is a lover of sounds, those of the city, fields, windmills, rocks and forests…Always willing to engage with any noise, provided that it has a story to share.

Becoming increasingly aware of the way I listen allows me to enter and to explore the soundscape deeper. The more I listen to the world for what it actually is, the better I am moved by its song.

On a Bird Scale is the result of the sound stroll undertaken these past two years. This is album marks the end of a period of ten years of producing music. It has been a journey that allowed me to thorougly explore my creative process and what expresses itself through the music I make. From the bedroom, to the studio, to your ears... I am proud to finally share these tracks, that have long been my companions, with you.
