SUPREME RALLENTATO COLLECTIONS

Tracks released on V/A compilations

PODCASTS & RADIO SHOWS

An oddly familiar/familiarly odd entity floating about the relatively cohesive surface of contemporary electronic music, Belgium-via-Italy based duo Front De Cadeaux has been knocking genres askew and blowing overused terminologies out of the water with unrelenting panache over the past decade. Championing a sound unmoored by vanishing trends and cross-pollinating approaches, F2C punch back in on Antinote with their anticipated debut album, “We Slowly Riot”, an 8-track mishmash of tunes previously released and not.

Front De Cadeaux - Sad Is Fashion

Release Date: 23 February 2022

On their way from Roma to Brussels, Maurizio and Ugo AKA Front de Cadeaux (F2C) made a little stop in Paris to slow down the beat at Antinote.

We are thrilled to come back after a little break with the first EP from these two big boys on the label. For our first release of 2022 we offer the double smasher "Sad is Fashion" and "Trans Emois", two heavy and slow club weapons. These two rockets will please techno and trance heads as well as bass, dubstep lovers.

Antinote have been fans of F2C since their collaboration with Lexidisques in 2016 and of course their limited edition hit "La Ketamine” which was released 2 years laters by Emet.

Hope you'll enjoy the very simple style and straight to the point club music as much as we do as there is more to come from Front de Cadeaux on the label later this year.

FRONT DE CADEAUX
Le Pédé BPM
File under: Slow Voodoo / Urban primivitism / Queer Freak

Front de Cadeaux was born in Bruxelles when roman Dj Hugo Sanchez met a Italo/Belgian guy called Dj Athome. The first touch was in the middle of a sauna party for big hairy men, hot and wet. Dirty sex and sweat dreams were just the click. They soon discovered that their music universe were created to become one. Both in love with the green psychedelia and both disappointed by the gay clubbing scene where people dance if only the bpm is at a very high and stupid speed level.

After having dirty sex, they spent days listening and sampling vinyls played at the wrong speed, discovering and enjoying the sexy power of the supreme “rallentamento”. Front de Cadeaux, a name that will leave Belgian’s fan of the band Front 242 astonished, confused and upset, started to create their own musical experiments that impressed Hugo Sanchez’s mate Rodion (his brother in the Alien Alien project), who put his poetic and supreme production touch on it.
Fabrizio Mammarella joined us after listening this manifesto called Le Pédé BPM. His energy was exactly what we needed to give you more acid.

We don't care of the BPM phags, we just want a world where the body and music makes love slowly all night long and we will fight a war to make it happen!

After the anthem Pedé Bpm, the italo/belgian duo Front De Cadeaux is back with a new heavy manifesto: Infodrogue.

Drug culture is processing slowly. Very very slowly. Pioneers as John C Lilly, Alexander Shulgin & Timothy Leary have begun this processing with scientific elements and experimentations coming from recreational use and human rituals. Unfortunately prohibition has interrupted this processing.

Words are lies without experience. In other words: prevention of drug abuse in a society without drug culture sounds to us just like a LIE. That’s why it doesn’t work.

Since the 70’s a lot of efforts have been done: scientists and writers have produced tons of words and concepts to explain and prevent drug addiction.

40 years later, drug (ab)use is still the same reality.

Infodrogue is a call.

We are proud to announce that Infodrogue processing has begun!

We want to communicate, we want to talk. Imagine you are desperately repeating Allo? Allo? .. and no answer! Maybe there is no one to answer to you at all... How would you feel if you needed some Infodrogue?

Belgian Dj Athome and Roman Dj Hugosan spent some nights together recording wrong speed sessions to find out the Supreme Rallentato. We found it.. but it wouldn't make this without their bro Rodion and his big army of analogue weapons.

The dub version made by JD Twitch from Optimo adds even more weight to the obscure vibe and leads the track in the field of the astonishing. Go through this to get lost in the empire of deep ambient dub.

"Front de Cadeaux are Hugosan (1974) and Dj Athome (1971), a Belgo-Italian producer-Dj duo that turns techno upside by, mostly, playing it at the wrong speed. Kind of what techno would sound like when made by codeine-addicted producers. Oh, and they also boast some of the best track games ever (Le PD BPM, Infodrogue, anyone?). And we're not even talking about the tracks themselves - think a sleaze-fest of dirty bass lines and raunchy rhythms. One of our latest loves here at the office, we couldn't resist asking them to record an exclusive mix for us. And it's everything we expected - and more"

LAYER #101 | Serial Experiments + FRONT DE CADEAUX

Rock to the Beat Records presents a fresh new EP from exciting pair Otto Riita. It packs a real punch with two originals and fine remixes from Publicist and Front de Cadeaux. 

Otto Riita is a new duo from France made up of Rescue and yugo.solo. Rescue is a respected DJ and producer and radio host who has been active since 2000 and yugo.solo is one of the guitar heroes of the French super band RIEN (RIP), as well as being a member of the crazy duet Câlin. Here they blend their skills to create an odd yet funky spacey disco vibe that is a real collision of worlds. 

The title track ‘Azul Pscina’ is first and is a rugged affair with shooting synths, funky drums and a raw energy that really gets you going. Cosmic melodic explosions and knotted bass guitar riffs brush up with one another and make the whole thing really jump out at you. Next up, the equally interesting ‘Square Dance’ is a deeper affair, with rippling synths and big bass downstrokes taking you far off into the cosmos. It is a musical tune that mixes organic and synthetic sounds with real aplomb. 

Belgian-Italo duo Front De Cadeaux step up to remix and rework ‘Azul Piscina’ into a slow and ponderous, chuggy disco prowler with tumbling percussion and loose drums falling away from the groove. It’s playful and curious and makes way for Argentinian drummer and engineer Publicist to step up to tackle the same track. His version is much more direct and freaked-out with mad synths bringing a tortured feel, industrial sounds adding energy and slap-funk drums driving the whole thing along. 

This is a robust EP of tough disco sounds that are sure to move any club.

Tapan - Ghana (Front De Cadeaux Remix)

Front De Cadeaux dropped off the second edits volume which is a manifesto of the SUPREME RALLENTATO. 
This art is based on the wrong speed technique (playing 45rpm vinyl record at 33rpm +/8), so that you can enter frequencies, bass and rhythm just like you are watching a picture on the microscope or walking through a slow motion reality. It's immersive, it's hot, it's sexy.
Heavy funk, abstract dub, psychedelic tribalism, torbid acid. A bunch of tracks around the mid 90 bpm, totally relaxed in their lenght. 
Here you have the Front De Cadeaux "supreme rallentato" technique at its essence.

Parallel Routes is the new Various Artists by Random Numbers. 14 tracks made by artists we love across Europe: A Hand (Italy), Accou (Belgium), Anatolian Weapons (Greece), Artis (Nederland), Bss (Nederland), Black Seed (Italy), BXP (Italy), Carcass Identity (Belgium), Exhausted Modern (Czech Republic), Front De Cadeaux (Italy/Belgium), Heap (Austria), Új Bála (Hungary), UVB76 (France), Wang inc. (Italy).

After the first week of lockdown, we were forced to postpone all of our scheduled releases, so we started thinking about a new V.A.
Our inspiration behind it was the mutual support to overcome the lockdown and the discomfort it brought. As such, we started to contact the artists we love asking them to collaborate.
The result is astonishingly homogeneous, even if we were locked in our homes thousands of kilometers away from each other.
As a record label, we recognize the importance of not interrupting our work, to support independent artists during this global crisis.

We may be apart, but we're going in the same direction. We are in Parallel Routes.

A major thank you goes to all the artists involved for their kind gifts, the city of Brussels for their kind support and everyone else who makes this project possible.

http://c12space.com

C12 is a multidisciplinary nightclub and platform run by the Deep in House collective, located in the heart of Brussels. It's a safe place where freedom, diversity, creativity and alternative culture are protected from the restrictive and normative outside world. The project was launched in February 2018 and includes concerts, art installations, lives, club nights and exhibitions.

The Corona crisis is keeping our doors closed and dancefloor empty for several weeks now, with no hopes yet on new line-ups and crowds of enthusiastic dancers. But this unprecedented situation isn’t holding us still. Continuing to support our local Brussels and Belgian electronic music scene, C12 is proud to announce its own label with 10 music compilations dubbed Social Distancing. All artists involved are Belgian or strongly connected to the Brussels scene. Confirmed are Le Motel, Stellar OM Source, A.Brehme, Front De Cadeaux, Davy, OCB Casa Voyager, Cabasa, Techno Thriller, Orphan Swords, Different Fountains, Bear Bones Lay Low, Gols, Hadone, ... and our residents Session 4000, Kafim & Chris Ferreira. Compilations will also be curated by female artists promoting platform ‘Psst Mlle’ and queer culture collective ‘Benediction’.

Each edition consists of a collection of several tracks and will be released every two weeks, leading to a total of approximately fifty tracks. All music will be available to add on your favorite streaming service Soundcloud, Youtube, Spotify (coming soon) and Bandcamp. In addition for each track we offer a limited amount of 500 free downloads through our Bandcamp page, where donations are also enabled for those who wish to support us and the artists involved.

The origins of Front de Cadeaux can be traced back to a dating site for bears, some ten years ago. After Maurizio had spotted a Felix Kubin poster on one of Ugo's pictures, the two started chatting. Very much intrigued, Ugo invited Maurizio, who lives in Brussels, to play at a festival he organised in Rome. Shortly thereafter Ugo made Maurizio a resident of his Subwoofer night, one of the first bear parties in Europa that existed outside of the mainstream bear realm.

The two bonded over food of course, over their belief that dance culture is rotting from the inside, and even more over slow, heavy electronic music. You have to picture it: a flat in Brussels, a table with empty bowls and bottles, thick smoke and these two daddy dj’s listening to stacks and stacks of UK rave and breakbeat records on 33 instead of 45 rpm. Testing how deep and sexy these garbage records sound at a pace the bears can actually follow without dropping dead – Ugo & Maurizio baptised it ‘supreme rallentato’.

During those early encounters, their decade long dj experience merged into one, just like their vision that dance culture urgently needs a revolution. To them that means playing 90 bpm in a club at 3am whilst the promoters are shitting themselves, showing everyone that the body follows the groove, and not the bpm, a capitalist and macho construct that’s making crowds go numb instead of making them dance.

Around 2013, they officially started collaborating as Front de Cadeaux, referring to the Italian way of pronouncing Front 242, the Belgian EBM legends. “Le pédé BPM” (the bpm gay), their first release, followed one year later, with a Fabrizio Mammerella remix that kind of became an anthem in some circles. It's at the same time a celebration of their love for a slower groove as it is a queer manifesto, dissociating themselves from the mainstream gay culture in big cities, dominated by a horrible attitude and bad taste both in music and style. Second single “Infodrogue” came about after the drug line Maurizio worked at, stopped operating after midnight. Backed up by a bubbling bassline, it's telling the sad tale of a junk calling in and no-one answering. The references to culture and real life are everywhere, be it in the track titles of later releases – “Ouvre ta bouche” is a joke about Kate Bush, “Cogitate” a hommage to lsd wizard John C. Lilly – or their sound, which is impregnated by psyche music, mushrooms, dub, triphop and space rock.
Coming hot on the heels of the collaboration ep with long time friend Fabrizio Mamarella earlier this year, featuring their two oldest singles appearing on vinyl for the first time, came Front de Cadeaux’ new 12” on EMET records. “We slowly rot” is a manifesto and an epistemological breakdown of standard, empty club music, for in order to reconnect with what it should be about, our whole idea of dance music has to be deconstructed. As Front de Cadeaux militantly puts it: “every act of the human being is about transformation through destruction”.
