PODCASTS

Nantes-based Collectif Solstice announces their first Various Arists compilation, with the participation of 13 artists coming from various electronic scenes (France, United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil). First volume is focused on the minimal & darker side of club music, while second volume is brighter & funkier.

After members of the collective met up with a number of new artists and producers in 2023, the idea of the Various Artist project quickly came to life and led to a meeting with Diego Verissimo, a sound engineer and producer who will be responsible for mastering the project.

Solstice V/A001 Vol.2

Halyomorpha Halys revêt un corps en bouclier, mais il ne faut pas s’y méprendre : elle n’est pas sur la défensive. Et pourtant je souhaite à tous les artistes de croiser le chemin de cette créature, force exaltatrice qui, bien quelle pique les tissus végétaux pour en extraire le fluide, donne de son être en retour à certains humains bien choisis...

Claude B - Halyomorpha Halys

Edel - Oneiros

Saint Augustin remet l’acid techno au goût du jour avec des classiques de la scène rave des UK fin des 90’ mélangés à d’autres titres plus récents.

Les deux époques véhiculent toujours ce même ressenti underground que le genre n’a jamais perdu, si bien que la nouveauté se fond dans l’historique.

Ces tracks ont toutes été composées par les grands maîtres de la TB-303 : Lochi, Chris Liberator, The Geezer… Le son est gras, distordu, mais avec cette chaleur qui a fait la renommée de la 303 et que bien d’autres synthétiseurs ont essayé d’imiter. 

L’acid techno s’exporte depuis déjà bien longtemps au-delà de son berceau, Londres, et a beaucoup évolué. Mais alors que la scène techno ne s’est jamais autant ouverte au grand public, sûrement est-ce temps de revenir à ces sonorités historiques et dans le même temps si actuelles et populaires.

Saint Augustin - Naoned Acid City (Acid Techno)

"Lorsque l'immensité annonçait son éveil,
Ses cheveux avaient l'odeur du Soleil"

L'odeur du Soleil est un titre lumineux, bien que cette lumière ne laisse émaner que très peu d'espoir. Premier son de l'artiste Birds of Passage, ce dernier exprime pleinement ses émotions à travers cette track aussi romantique que mélancolique. 
La ligne d'acid a été enregistrée à l'aide de la Behringer TD-3.

Birds of Passage - L'odeur du Soleil

Lentement la vision revient. Assis sur un rocher, il contemple une réalité nouvelle, difforme mais pas déplaisante. Le voilà devant un monde neutre, ni beau ni laid, ni bon ni mauvais.

S'esquissent au loin les premières notes d'une musique liquide, acide, comme il n'en n'avait jamais entendu.

Claude B - Stoner on a Rock

Lorsque Knulp rouvrit les yeux, le soleil brillait; si aveuglant qu’il baissa bien vite les paupières. Il sentait la neige peser sur ses mains et il voulut s’en libérer mais son désir d’entrer dans le sommeil était devenu plus fort que tout autre désir.

Retour sur l'événement Solstice303 du 19 janvier au @warehousenantes 

PREMIER SET: @birdsofpassage1

Ayant passé son adolescence à Lyon, Birds of Passage a su transformer son attrait pour la musique en véritable passion et vocation. Bercé par la house dès ses années lycées et plus tard par la hard house, son intérêt musical s'est dirigé rapidement vers la techno mélodique, une musique à la fois envoûtante et vecteur d'émotions, donnant naissance à son set le plus connu "Dancing without her" disponible sur Soundcloud.

Également membre du collectif Solstice, il a su animer différentes soirées dédiées à la techno à travers un équilibre parfait entre rythmes entraînants, acid mélodique et synthés distordus, une combinaison parfaite pour le corps et l'esprit de celui qui osera tendre l'oreille.

Birds of Passage - Solstice303 x Warehouse Nantes (19.01.23)

Retour sur l'événement Solstice303 du 19 janvier au @warehousenantes

SECOND SET: @claudeb

Producteur et DJ jouant depuis 2 ans dans divers clubs nantais, claude b transmet dans ses sets et productions un rythme rapide et effréné, enveloppé de textures déroutantes.

Sa musique est une techno swinguante et percussive, empruntant ses grooves à de multiples genres, de la techno classique à la jungle en passant par le hip hop, pour aboutir à des productions et des DJ sets qui ne laissent pas le corps inerte.

CINQUIÈME SET: @augustin-moyne

Saint Augustin a toujours baigné dans la musique. Adolescent, il est impressionné par la technique émérite des DJ Hip Hop et s'en inspire, développant un style à la fois léger et pointu.

Sa collection de vinyles témoigne de sa passion pour les musiques électroniques dans leur grande diversité, de l'Acid Techno du Royaume-Uni à la Disco House funky, en passant par les tubes UK Garage des années 2000.

@claudeb

This classic acid techno track is meant for the club. You can easily use it in your sets but keep in mind that the tension is never released in the track and the energy is almost always there. 909 drums and acid bass, a simple but effective recipe for a solid banger.

Claude B - Acid Caïd

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/gouzz

Comme une naissance musicale, les rythmes frénétiques de ce mix émergent de nulle part, créant un tourbillon d'énergie qui capture l'essence même de la vie.

Les sonorités enivrantes de la trance acide évoquent une force de croissance intérieure, une énergie créatrice qui pousse vers de nouveaux horizons d'exploration musicale.

gouz - Exploration abstraite de l'extase sonore

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/saint-augustin

En ce début de Roland Garros, Saint Augustin nous délivre un mix entre breaks et house à à la pointe de ce qui se fait de mieux dans le genre en ce moment. Scuffed Recordings, Fraise Records, Time Is Now : autant de labels aussi populaires
qu’innovants, par la nouvelle dynamique qu’ils insufflent à la house, favorisant un style énergique et décomplexé, mais avant tout groovy.

Solstice Podcast 005: Claude B

@claudebdj

With his live shows & DJ sets, Claude B established himself as an emerging and promising figure on the french electronic scene, starting to perform in Nantes (FR) in 2021.

He is the founder of the collective Solstice and later Mauvaise Ambiance in Paris with his friends & colleagues formerly of TRAX Magazine, and he navigates in his productions through varied inspirations from pure techno to more experimental electronic works.

His latest EP, Spectral Matters, demonstrates an accomplishment in his recording techniques but this new EP Newbie is more intimate. Concluding the EP on a softer but equally intense note, with expressive synths, soulful melodies, plenty of percussion and white noise and a driving trance bass, Newbie reaches a state of acceptance and places both artist and listener in a fresher world where they can finally rebuild.
