live dj set recordings

Almost a year ago Moisk, a duo made up of @pletnev aka @pontymython and @fourmirouz, released their debut foray on Dutch label I Lost My Poncho In Istanbul. Now they’re returning for another excursion, this time inviting you to take a ride on the Pleasure Express, a fresh new imprint springing up from Belgium. Titled 'Melancholic Raver', the EP once again showcases the pair's love of hypnotic rhythms and breakbeat patterns, matching these with acid lines and otherworldly atmospheres.

Melancholic Raver

PREMIERE: Moisk - Melancholic Raver [Pleasure Express]

The sun flooded through the open curtains, waking him prematurely. She wasn't there again, had already left for some other important commitment or unexplainable appointment. If pressed, he struggled to define their relationship; he'd put too much time into deciphering it that now he preferred to accept it for what it was. Not that he was any closer to understanding that either...

electrocaïne welcomes you aboard a very special and intimate journey through the realms of musical harmonies, scintillating soundscapes and hair-raising frequencies, carefully concocted by Avneesh and curator, Maxï.

This is the first chapter of our Untold Stories Series - an elegantly off piste yet true-to-roots opportunity to savour a joint reduction of the vast repertoire of flavours that have permeated through the auditory cortices of our founding fathers till now.

Ground yourselves and open wide for an extra-sensory launch into the primordial soup of musical frequencies, in defiance of the usual evolutionary patterns expected from history and technology altogether.

A horizontal absorption into the fabric of this journey dissolves its destination into a non-chronological reflection of the diversity of man-made sounds, tones and harmonies.

Melancholic tribal lamentations coalesce with cascades of spherical sound beings, voices, and instruments in a wonderfully mydriatic fashion, providing ample and pleasurable stimulation along the entire length of your cochlea's basilar membrane.

The first of our Untold Stories is a celebration of style within music, passion and flow. We warmly invite you to a new adventure, starting now.

FOURMI ROUZ #001a

FOURMI ROUZ #001b

electrocaïne's music honcho Logeshen bid a fond farewell to Lithuania at Yaga Festival last summer, wrapping up the four day outdoor celebration of nature, love and psychedelia in his new spicy project - Fourmï Rouz! 

Imagine the forest, the bare feet, the pounded earth, the warm Eastern European smiles..all about to be swung in our homeboy's woogie marinade, speaking of which..

First, a tubular trip across continents arouses the ancestral material within our selves, resets central movement generators along the spine and pre-excites neuromuscular junctions in those heavy heavy limbs! 

And then comes the hurtle of the turtle into the stratosphere.. Throwing rhythms with such vigor and tribal agitation, Fourmï Rouz re-invents the solid-fuel rocket using sound as propellant! We're not even sure how many of the psybabas ever made it back to Yaga that day! 

We hope you enjoy this mix - alone or with friends - on earth or in the stars!

Fourmï Rouz - Yaga'15 (Festival closing set)

From time to time something takes you by surprise. In this case it was a coincidental email which landed amidst the chaos at just the right time.

 Fourmï Rouz originates from the island of Mauritius, a place which you might not usually associate with electronic music in a stereotypical sense. In some ways you might be accurate in this view, however, that certainly doesn't mean that there aren't artists intertwining local influences and electronic sounds. This mix is a representation of the diversity which exists amongst electronic music culture as Fourmï Rouz blends traditional elements alongside a forward thinking fusion of blends. 

We caught up with him to talk roots and more.

TRAX.229 FOURMÏ ROUZ

Logeshen   Moorgan,   aka  Fourmï Rouz, is a groundbreaking   DJ/broadcaster/curator from the multiethnic​ ​subtropical​ ​island​ ​of​ ​Mauritius.​ ​With​ ​recent​ ​publications​ ​on​ ​Trax​ ​Magazine,​ ​The Ransom​ ​Note​ ​and​ ​Ninja​ ​Tune’s​ ​Solid​ ​Steel,​ ​Logeshen​ ​is​ ​currently​ ​touring​ ​Europe​ ​and​ ​India with​ ​portentous​ ​performances​ ​at​ ​Le​ ​Sucre​ ​in​ ​Lyon​ ​and​ ​the​ ​Goulash​ ​Disko​ ​Festival​ ​in​ ​Croatia or​ ​the​ ​Jodhpur​ ​Riff​ ​-​ ​Rajasthan’s​ ​International​ ​Folk​ ​Festival. 
 Currently,​ ​he​ ​is​ ​the​ ​​maitre ​​d’oeuvre for​ ​creating​ ​a​ ​regional​ ​artistic​ ​collaboration​ ​amongst​ ​the islands​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Indian​ ​Ocean,​ ​aiming​ ​to​ ​preserve,​ ​revamp​ ​and​ ​disseminate​ ​their​ ​unique musical​ ​heritage​ ​throughout​ ​the​ ​world.​ ​Culminating​ ​in​ ​eminent​ ​partnerships​ ​with​ ​the​ ​likes​ ​of Nickodemus​ ​and​ ​Lefto,​ ​Logeshen’s​ ​worldwide​ ​musical​ ​excursion​ ​has,​ ​over​ ​the​ ​past​ ​decade, consolidated​ ​his​ ​reputation​ ​as​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​most​ ​​avant-garde trendsetting​ ​artists​ ​in​ ​the​ ​region. 

Logeshen’s​ ​seminal​ ​work​ ​begins​ ​in​ ​his​ ​teenage​ ​years,​ ​when​ ​his​ ​innate​ ​musical​ ​taste combined​ ​with​ ​prolific​ ​digging​ ​skills​ ​trigger​ ​a​ ​wave​ ​of​ ​musical​ ​discovery​ ​and​ ​inspiration amongst​ ​his​ ​Mauritian​ ​peers​ ​-​ ​several​ ​of​ ​whom​ ​have​ ​since​ ​become​ ​firmly​ ​established international​ ​DJs. 
 Through​ ​this​ ​original​ ​group​ ​of​ ​friends,​ ​the​ ​Electrocaine​ ​audiovisual​ ​collective​ ​was​ ​born, fuelled​ ​by​ ​a​ ​revolutionary​ ​desire​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​the​ ​musical​ ​revelation​ ​to​ ​the​ ​people.​ ​Soon,​ ​the legendary​ ​‘Sound​ ​Of’​ ​outdoor​ ​parties​ ​kicked​ ​off,​ ​spearheading​ ​the​ ​original​ ​counter-culture movement​ ​against​ ​the​ ​commercial​ ​club​ ​culture​ ​of​ ​the​ ​time.​ ​Fourmi​ ​Rouz​ ​still​ ​serves​ ​A&R duties​ ​at​ ​Electrocaine,​ ​which​ ​now​ ​boasts​ ​a​ ​considerable​ ​following,​ ​especially​ ​in​ ​South​ ​East Asia. 
 Maxi’s​ ​exodus​ ​began​ ​in​ ​2007,​ ​when​ ​he​ ​left​ ​Mauritius​ ​for​ ​the​ ​UK​ ​to​ ​study​ ​Philosophy​ ​and Psychology,​ ​with​ ​a​ ​special​ ​interest​ ​in​ ​Musical​ ​Psychology.​ ​At​ ​university,​ ​he​ ​inevitably​ ​ends up​ ​rubbing​ ​shoulders​ ​with​ ​budding​ ​artists​ ​such​ ​as​ ​Flux​ ​Pavilion​ ​and​ ​ODJ​ ​Box,​ ​whilst​ ​making his​ ​first​ ​DJ​ ​steps​ ​in​ ​the​ ​London​ ​‘underground’​ ​music​ ​scene.​ ​A​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​his​ ​free​ ​time​ ​is​ ​spent​ ​in record​ ​shops,​ ​in​ ​search​ ​of​ ​timeless,​ ​obscure,​ ​hypnotising,​ ​emotion-filled​ ​vinyl-only​ ​gems from​ ​around​ ​the​ ​world​ ​–​ ​a​ ​true​ ​reflection​ ​of​ ​his​ ​musical​ ​essence. 
 Post​ ​studies,​ ​he​ ​spends​ ​a​ ​character-forging​ ​three-year​ ​stint​ ​in​ ​Eastern​ ​Europe,​ ​swinging regularly​ ​between​ ​venues,​ ​festivals​ ​and​ ​radio​ ​stations​ ​in​ ​Lithuania,​ ​Germany​ ​and​ ​Poland.
Career-wise,​ ​he​ ​shifts​ ​from​ ​musical​ ​dilettante​ ​extraordinaire​ ​to​ ​full-time​ ​globetrotting​ ​artist living​ ​on,​ ​and​ ​for,​ ​his​ ​passion. 
 Since​ ​his​ ​return​ ​to​ ​the​ ​tropics,​ ​Maxi​ ​has​ ​also​ ​been​ ​focussing​ ​on​ ​promoting​ ​upcoming​ ​local artists,​ ​whilst​ ​playing​ ​a​ ​pivotal​ ​role​ ​in​ ​creating​ ​a​ ​touring​ ​circuit​ ​within​ ​the​ ​Indian​ ​Ocean​ ​and Southern​ ​Africa​ ​for​ ​international​ ​music​ ​producers​ ​to​ ​experiment​ ​with​ ​regional​ ​talents.

Born and raised in Mauritius, now pacing international stages sowing the seeds of musical multiculturalism with panache, Berlin-based jack-of-all-trades Logeshen Moorgan alias Fourmï Rouz has established a name synonymous with panchromatic groove science and genre-unbound open-mindedness.


Championing a "globe-trotting, nomad music style” that knows no boundaries, Fourmï Rouz’s defies clichés and pigeonholes through extra wide-spanning, free-spirited mixes that offer bespoke moments for dancing and daydreaming - some of which were featured on the likes of Ninja Tune’s seminal Solid Steel series and various outlets such as Ransom Note and Trax Magazine.


2020 saw him open a new chapter in his career with the debut release of his duo MOISK alongside fellow Vilnius-based talent Pletnev / Ponty Mython, issued via Amsterdam-via-Brazil based imprint Frente Bolivarista / I lost my poncho in Istanbul. This maiden release was followed by Melancholic Raver EP in October 2021, and a third slab is on the way - due out August 2022 on Berlin’s Warning Records.

Now a bi-monthly resident over at Berlin’s Refuge Worldwide radio, Logeshen has brought his old “Music Kabinet“ show back to life - as formerly aired on Neringa FM (Lithuania) and the National Radio of Mauritius, where he gets to share and run the broadest gamut of cross-continental sonic delights.


Through a solid set of appearances at renowned festivals across the world including Fusion Festival, Nyege Nyege (Uganda), Transmusicales, Jodhpur Riff International Folk Festival (where he worked as curator from 2016 to 2018), Electropicales in Réunion Island and Goulash Disko off the Croatian coast (also working as creative director and booking agent), the Mauritian producer has kept honing his DJing skills with poise and assiduity, laying the foundation to a body of work marked by an inextinguishable thirst for music in all its forms and manifestations.
