Expedisound, folklore from the global zone in three albums

With the Expedisound series, launched in 2004, Marseille-based label I.O.T Records built surprising bridges between cultures. Just imagine: the label's members - and their many supporters - loaded up trucks with machines, samplers, recorders and microphones, and set off to discover traditional or trance music in West Africa, Indonesia, Ulan Bator or deep in China's Yunnan.

At the crossroads of the Sound Conspiracy adventure, Real World, and field recording's quasi-ethnographic but still punk attempts, Expedisound telescoped popular or folk music from the four corners of the planet with the libertarian ideals of freewheeling electronic travellers.

I.O.T. Records now offers a new version of the soundbanks: reworked, processed and of better quality... This new ready-to-be-composed sound database features, initially, the sound material gleaned from the Expedisound dedicated to Africa.

__ About Cinna Peyghamy Remix __ 

For this 4th and final rework of her Fifth Dream album, Azu Tiwaline simply called on her stage and studio partner Cinna Peyghamy. A percussionist of Iranian origin, he is behind most of the drums used by Azu in her tracks. In a way, this track is the beginning of a fractal. Cinna provided her with the sonic raw material, then Azu created Blowing Flow from it, and now he has appropriated it for something new. The process could be repeated endlessly. And it would still be just as beautiful.

A2 - Blowing Flow (Cinna Peyghamy Remix)

*Kid Loco's Belleville ina Marseille Remixes*

Rumors are swirling once again...
This time, it's none other than Kid Loco, the godfather of French trip-hop, stepping into the spotlight. He delivers sultry, laid-back tracks that feel like stolen glances exchanged through a haze of cigarette smoke in a dimly lit Parisian lounge. Effortlessly cool and undeniably seductive, it's a soundtrack for the dreamiest of late-night reveries.

KOÏÏ - Why (Kid Loco Remix)

"We're just shining for Ra's sake" There are many planes on which we connect. Ones and zeroes. A binary code. A binary star. Combining two coherent waves to intentionally amplify a frequency. Inner Space Navigators. This is an ode to sisterhood."


'The Grand Geode' is the 3rd and last single of upcoming album 'The Illusion of Being' (21. May 2025)
