Androgyne resident @gtidj signs his very first EP on Garde-Robe Records, the label and phonographic counterpart of the Nantes-based club Macadam; a kind of haven where he delivered some of his most beautiful sets behind the booth.

A tireless explorer and digger, GTI inhabits the club like a lab technician whose sets are percussive precipitates with explosive nuances. Since his beginnings, the DJ has established a clear and nurtured dialogue between himself and the dancers, whose exchanges are elaborated around hand-woven selectas, riddled with galloping structured sounds.

Thus, in the span of a few years, GTI has built a very solid reputation, both locally and internationally, with a remarkable technique and a rare ability to dig both contemporary and ancient treasures.

With Garde-Robe Records, the resident DJ has come full circle, asserting and consolidating the production aspect of the overall project that is the GTI alias. The evocatively titled EP "Sources" is composed of 4 tracks that shape a perfect echo to the different sides of the music he champions.

On the remix side, @cristofeu takes "Heiko" and creates a downtempo ballad with trip-hop accents and tribal touches.

As for @aleksalaska, she gives a more goal feel to "Machine’s Taking Control", adding some almost romantic singing moments, without ever losing the speed and the salient aspect of the original version.

Garde-Robe Records is the electronic music label of Androgyne. The phonographic approach is a timeless opening to transcribe the festive aesthetics characteristic of our events: physical, collective, versatile, adventurous, sensual.

In its musical primacy, Garde-Robe Records extends the path marked by Androgyne in the intersection of the arts : visual arts and literature will come together with music in the creation of the phonograms.
