For this new Breton release, Editentités is proud to welcome transe ar gwez from Rennes, delivering four remixes paying tribute to the diverse and engaging discography of musician and composer Roland Becker. 

By collaborating with other artists, but more importantly on his solo albums, Roland Becker used his deep knowledge of Breton culture and music to explore and experiment different styles and practices: celtic jazz (Fallaën, 1982), ethnomusicology and song collecting (Jour de fête & fête de nuit, 1995), electronic music (Chants dans la nuit - Kanou an noz, 2008), Breton folklore and popular melodies (Immrama, 2010)… Tracks Locqueltas, Bortifaouen et Mané Guen are taken from this last record, while Kan Dek is built from a bonus section of the album Chants dans la nuit - Kanou an noz.

Eventually, Roland Becker himself explains it best: “Breton music, if it can be summed up, is just a note. The rest is a pretext.”

All profits will be donated to the French strike funds to support workers on strike. Your direct donations are also welcome ! www.helloasso.com/associations/caisse-de-solidarite-2/formulaires/1

Originally released in 1986, Geoff Bastow's The AV Conception Vol. 1 was the artist's "musical look at modern life".

First effort of a four volumes series, this LP is a typical dive into what defines best Geoff Bastow's production: catchy synthesizer's fligths, dreamy layered pads, percussive breaks and relentless basslines. Mostly known for his collaboration with disco legend Giorgio Moroder, this multi-talented guitarist and pianist also hides behind 70's and 80's hits coming from Boney M, Amanda Lear or Elton John.

An attentive exploration into his impressive discography reveals wonderful gems, providing immersive materials, from synth pop to abstract and experimental music.

All the tracks are edited by Quidam, from the LP :
