Couvre x Chefs’ next release is an EP titled Cross Rhythm, the work of Parisian producer and DJ @anyoneID. After solo releases from Scarlett and BJF - and two compilations - this EP marks the label’s first publication produced by a producer outside the collective. Cross Rhythm consists of two tracks, “Gobelet Drum” and “Glass Perc”, remixed by CxC members Næja and Tim Karbon respectively.

Despite their anything but obvious affiliations, the tracks that make up Cross Rhythm show anyoneID’s ability to draw on his rich background as a producer, abstract his influences and convert them into unstoppable missiles ready to pulverize any dancefloor. Playing between darbouka tinged with Hard Drum, reinvented Afro House, technoid Trance, epic percussion and oppressive melodies, anyoneID delivers here two hybrid dancefloor bombs, without concessions and brutally unclassifiable.

"In music, a cross rhythm is a specific form of polyrhythm. It refers to a situation where the rhythmic conflict found in polyrhythms is the basis of an entire musical piece.", explains anyoneID.

Bio

Parisian producer and DJ anyoneID offers a range of captivating sounds. His hybrid music, resolutely powerful and club-oriented, sees him mix afro-house, Brazilian funk or reggaeton with electro, bass music and even trance influences. After releases for Nadsat (Because Music) and Blanc Manioc, productions for Bagarre, Yelle and XL Mad, anyoneID recently launched the duo Kass Kass Rizer with Asna, whose first EP was released on More Time Records.

Track by track

“Gobelet Drum” opens the EP with different derbouka patterns boosted by a severe line of kicks. After a break and a striking rise, trance flights add a dramatically festive dimension to the rhythmic combo.

During the endless build-up that constitutes “Glass Perc”, anyoneID progressively layers rhythmic layers, percussive patterns and other vocal samples, creating a state of relentless trance calibrated for the dancefloor.

On the remix side, Næja, who appeared for the first time on our compilation CxC Vol. 2, transforms “Gobelet Drum” into a minimalist deep dubstep attack tinged with breaks and roaring bass. “Glass Perc” is passed to the Tim Karbon percussive mill, which retains the tension of the original piece by adding an infernal burst of drums of all kinds, a trademark of the Montreuil producer.
