MUSIC is a powerful vector of emotions! 

MUSIC can create sadness, anger, serenity or even joy in every person who listens to it. Music knows how to bring together, integrate and federate a group of people to establish a great common solidarity. And solidarity has always been, the very first starting point, to be able to develop a common story between us all!
It’s for this reason that today, under my project - L'D - ; it’s exactly that warm, groovy, melodic & captivating story that I want to share with you.
So come on, come dance with me & all together we will create an extraordinary and beautifully memorable moment! ❤️

TRIPPY SIM, is a fiery artist who traveled through different musical styles in order to find his musical identity. His passion for music was awakened from a young age, but it was as a teenager that he fell in love with the electronic scene. In search of heavier and more assertive sounds, it was in the underground Dubstep scene that his passion intensified. His musical quest continues towards Drum n Bass. Fascinated by the fusion of fast breakbeats, deep basslines and percussive melodies, he decided to devote himself fully to it. Over the years, the call for a more progressive sound was felt or he began to flirt with techno and finally blossomed into psytrance. His passion for psytrance was instantaneous once he discovered this unique musical genre, fusing elements of trance, techno and ethnic sounds to create a truly transcendent sonic experience.

Having first learned to understand music organically, he excels at juggling the different energies that all these beautiful sound waves offer us. His sets will take you on a journey through a symbiosis of light and darkness where groove, melody and powerful bassline will be there. 

Expect to be won over by the sparkling personality and infectious energy of TRIPPY SIM, where each set tells a different story, all filled with love for one and all.

Xavier L.-B. aka Contrapunctus is a progressive Psytrance producer and musician. A music lover from a very young age, he’s now a professional violist, playing in various groups and symphony orchestras as a classical performer, and is passionate about underground electronic music.
 
His first encounter with Psytrance, at Timeless Festival 2017, had an enormous impact on him. As a result, he decided to produce his own sound by taking classes with well-known Canadian producer Black Marvin. Contrapunctus’s music is captivating, infused with juxtaposed rhythms, evolving melodies, and soundscapes that evoke orchestral music. His musical universe combines novelty and tradition in an organic manner, all in a unique Psy/Prog style. In this regard, his artist name refers to a writing technique used by Johann Sebastian Bach in which multiple melodic lines are interwoven to form a harmonious combination.

In 2023, Contrapunctus joined the Quebec collective Abduction Tales, and released his first EP Creatio as well as his single Dignity on Adhara Records.
In 2024, he released Conscious EP on Divinity Records, Continuum on Diatonic Records and Monk Chant on Adhara Records as well. He also played his first official live set at Era Festival.

FR:

Xavier L.-B. alias Contrapunctus est un producteur de Psytrance progressive et un mélomane dans l’âme depuis l’enfance. Il gagne aujourd’hui sa vie comme altiste au sein de différents ensembles et orchestres symphoniques comme interprète classique et il se passionne pour la musique électronique underground. 

Sa première rencontre avec la Psytrance, au festival Timeless 2017, l’a profondément marqué. Il décide alors de produire sa propre sonorité en suivant des cours avec le producteur d’ici  bien connu Black Marvin. La musique de Contrapunctus est envoutante, infusée de rythmes juxtaposés, de mélodies évolutives et de paysages sonores pouvant évoquer des musiques orchestrales. Son univers musical combine nouveauté et tradition de façon organique, le tout dans un style Psy/Prog unique. Son nom d’artiste, en ce sens, fait référence à une technique d’écriture utilisée par Jean-Sébastien Bach qui consiste à entremêler plusieurs lignes mélodiques pour former un amalgame harmonieux.

En 2023, Contrapunctus rejoint le collectif québécois Abduction Tales et sort son premier EP Creatio, ainsi que le single  Dignity sous étiquette Adhara Records. 
En 2024, il sort son EP Conscious sous le "label" Divinity Records, Continuum sur Diatonic Records ainsi que Monk Chant sur Adhara Records. Il a également joué son premier "live set" officiel à Era Festival.
