IG: @zaltan_antinote

A few words from the artist:

1/ How would you describe your personal connection to music and how it influences your creative process?

I think the word connection is not even powerful enough. Music has always been deeply rooted in my life and everything I do. I'm sure you totally feel what I’m saying—music is life!

2/ As an artist, how do you see the intersection between fashion and music?

Like a muslin dress over baggy pants. Or like a white tank top between a hairy torso and a denim jacket.

3/ What particularly interested you in collaborating with Études Studio to make this mix?

To make sure my style can fit yours.

4/ How did you curate this musical sequence journey?

Rock songs with Dream House, Dubby Electro with Street Soul, and Trancey Breaks. A good mix of feelings to describe my mood for this summer.

5/ Three words to define your mix for Études Studio?

Watermelon, Romance in the Garden, Sobriety.

Live Dj set recorded at Fanfulla (Rome, IT)
13 September 2024

Al Fanfulla

As the days become shorter and the light fades earlier the melancholy of winter dawns upon us. Nothing like some breakbeats, low slung baselines and woozy synths all mixed with some relaxing ambient to ease you into this new climate. Speaking of climate and change, the sounds of tomorrow and those of yonder can’t help but make me wonder… What’s next?

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”.
