Digital Talk - Random Access (2008)

Digital Talk is Julien Fougea and Luc Achintre, a unique psytrance duo.
After experimenting with different aspects of acoustic music, these two childhood friends were hooked by the 90's techno scene. In 1996, alongside their respective projects Mandukya and The Crow, they created the visionary band named Droidsect with two other friends. During 5 years they unleashed a huge amount of unreleased tunes mostly played at underground parties in Goa. In 2001, they signed their first release with 3D Vision Records next to Absolum, Talamasca, and Total Eclipse. The project ended fast but a new kind of trance music was born...
Continuing from the previous work while adding more musical directions, Julien and Luc joined forces to create Digital Talk in 2002. The French duo started to play for electronic music events at every corner of the globe: from Japan to Brazil, Mexico to India, Russia to USA, and almost every country all over Europe.
Their debut album New Age Surf released in April 2004 then shaped the darker side of the psytrance genre. The album was signed on Acidance records, a Greek label well known for its furious and eclectic psychedelic sounds. Few month after the release they opened the mighty dance temple of the Boom festival 2004 with an unforgettable performance.
In 2005, after a successful album release, Digital Talk joined Timecode Records compiling Sonic Solutions featuring Shift, Azax Syndrom, Broken Toy and others. One year later they signed on with the growing Japanese label Yabaï Records where, with an abundance of energy, they delivered a constant stream of powerful tunes like "Acid Test", "Acrobeat" or "Trust Yours Eyes" to name a few. At the same period Julien created Mindcore project with Phatmatix, a lot of hits have followed such as Universal Prophecy or Adoration.
In 2010 Julien and Luc finally delivered their second opus, "Audio Extremists", on Hadra records. Sourcing inspiration from different energies and music they experienced while performing around the world, Audio Extremists is the result of a long period of gathering fresh approaches to sound. These 2 masters of the art have connected these new influences and experiences with their intrinsic knowledge of studio technology, cutting-edge production techniques, and the fusion of their talent with other highly respected musicians.
In 2012 they once again opened the mighty dance temple of the Boom festival with another powerful performance. Since then the duo have been away from the trance floors while focusing on various musical projects.
In 2023 the duo finally comes back on Sangoma Records with an ancient album called “Dark Visions – The lost opus”. This opus, meant to be released in 2003 as their debut album was tragically lost in a computer crash, luckily all the tracks were recorded somewhere but not as the final versions, they have been played a lot by the duo and various djs at the time and became a myth by the fact that they would never be released. After recollecting all the audio files they could finally redesigned this legendary opus and let it live its life once and for all.
