✺ CDP REC ✺

Crâne de Poule real name Louise Engelmann is a young French and Dominican Artist, who shares her stories by using her music and by using the visuals she illustrates. Crâne de Poule is the name of a character she invented as a child and she was drawing it everywhere in her sketchbooks unaware that it would one day be her alter ego. An architect by profession, she studied music at the conservatory when she was younger playing the violin and percussion for a decade and have in recent years ventured into music production and live performances. Those early classical and jazz influences can be found in her music productions as she oscillates between Techno and House, performing live, with her keys, analogue synths and drum machines. Recording over live takes also made sure that each moment she captures is off-the-cuff and in the moment. She created her label CDP REC willing to mix medias: Each release is drawn by hand to invite to a special universe where the lines oscillate with the music.

The label, created in 2020. and established in Paris, is moving towards raw, deep sounds, with groove and musicality. It finds its origins and influences in Detroit techno, Chicago house, French Touch, Minimal House, Jazz Music, and Classical Music. Enzo Leep, Marwan Sabb, WISSLR, Arthur Nozen, Coriesu, Lou Flores, Leand, Alvaro Medina have been released on CDP REC since 2021.

About Acid Road:

Acid Road carries its name in reference to a British famous album from 1969.

As a tribute, each track name is related to one of the four unmissable boy's band first names, and each one is also illustrated by a really acidic adjective. 

Every sound of the EP is thought as a special character with his own personality, his own bpm, his own color, his own flavor and his own chemical properties. 

The remix from Vitess is a terrific version of Lactic Paul which draws an intense and spicy portrait of Paul. It fits in a perfect way with the very chemical mood of the EP, mixed in this album with more acoustic sounds, like the piano, which we can really recognize as Crâne de Poule's stamp mark.

Miles Ellis surprises us with a retro-groovy EP gathering many influences : At the crossroads between the nineties, raw sounds and melodies that can remind us of videogames themes, we enjoy immersing ourselves in a different reality with Miles.

As an introduction, Break of Dawn invites us to dance at the frontier between house music and techno with rolling, round and textured sounds. Afterwards, we enjoy the "Ride N Style'' which leads us to a very smooth and dreamy path where we take joy in losing ourselves. The following track, Stay True is an undeniable evidence of groove, in which elements play a catchy question-answer game. As a conclusion, Rehcorb shares with us her version of Stay True, subtly reinterpreting the track with broken rhythms, an acid synthesizer, and speaking vocals driving our ears in a more darkly atmosphere ; just as pleasant.

About Miles Ellis:
Pulling inspiration from the 90’s house music and underground culture, Miles Ellis is an up and coming DJ with a heart for the studio. Having released on several labels around the globe including the infamous Motech records from Detroit, he also is a live performer showcasing pure raw house and techno shows all live - improvisational.

Miles' formative years were heavily influenced by his musician Dad who played the guitar in a band called 'Full Thrust' in the 80s and 90s. A drum set bought by his dad on his 5th Birthday played a key part in building the producers foundation and later on, his obsession with drum machines. His love for Jimi Hendrix and Iron Maiden has since evolved into listening to artists such as Frankie Knuckles and Soichi Terada.

Miles' also runs his own label Limitlessun Recordings, where he releases a lot of self releases along with other artists he has worked with or met , showcasing their styles as well. His music is prevalent and without a doubt has a sound of his own, you know a track by him when you hear it.

Throughout the EP Cassette Sale, Alain Gertrand takes off his mask and unveils a super groovy house with a strong identity.
 
Le Roi et l’Oiseau, as a snappy lead-in, reminds us of Chicago and Detroit, as much as the next tracks.
 
With Anna Lise, sounds are more organic and airy than in the first track but still as rousing.
 
The third track, Cassette Sale, includes a vocal sung by Alain Gertrand in French accompanying a very well balanced mix of airy pads and synthesizers and round elements.
 
The last track, Crâne de Poule's interpretation of Cassette Sale, is a breakbeat rhythm track including shades of funk and 90's hip hop.
