MWTE est un groupe de musique électronique originaire de Metz. Si les premiers morceaux à forte tendance electronica datent de 2012, c'est fin 2013 avec la sortie d'un premier EP et les premiers concerts, que le quartet sort de la petite chambre dans laquelle il enregistre ses morceaux jusqu'ici.

Ce premier EP, Attraction To Light, est produit par Victor Ferreira (Sun Glitters) et masterisé par Antony Ryan (isan). Il comporte deux morceaux, ainsi que des remixes par Chapelier Fou, Sun Glitters, Herr2003 et Armagnac. L'EP est rapidement remarqué par un certain nombre de blogs musicaux (Hillydilly, Bitcandy, Soniscope, Novorama...).

Les concerts, eux, mènent le groupe du Festival Musiques Volantes (Atom TM, Discodéine, Elektro Guzzi...) au Out Of The Crowd (avec Breton, Siriusmo...), en passant par l'Exit07 (avec Baths) et L'Autre Canal (en compagnie de Pégase et Rich Aucoin), jusqu'aux festival des Inrocks Lab à la Gaité Lyrique (en mai 2014). Lors de ces dates, MWTE s'éloigne de la caricature du live electro : avec basse, guitare, voix et effets le groupe joue au milieu du public, une proximité favorisant probablement l'immersion dans le voyage intérieur proposé.

Quant à la musique, puisque c'est avant tout de cela dont il qu'est question, elle n'est pas si simple à définir, comme l'indiquent les multiples étiquettes hâtivement collées au groupe : chillwave ? Dream pop ? Postrock électronique ? Peu importe, finalement, tant que les rythmes, les mélodies et la délicatesse qui se dégagent de leurs compositions nous emportent au-delà, pour une odyssée où l’on se surprend à danser... dedans.

MWTE is an electronic band from Metz. While the first electronica tracks were made in 2012, the quartet came out of their small recording room late 2013 for their first shows along with their debut EP.

This EP, Attraction To Light, was produced by Victor Ferreira (Sun Glitters) and mastered by Antony Ryan (Isan). It contains two original tracks and remixes by Chapelier Fou, Sun Glitters, Herr2003 and Armagnac. The EP was quickly noticed by a number of music blogs (Hillydilly, Bitcandy, Soniscope, Novorama...).

The shows brought the band to the festival Musiques Volantes (Atom TM, Discodéine, Elektro Guzzi...) the Out Of The Crowd fest (with Breton, Siriusmo...), Exit07 (with Baths), L'Autre Canal (with Pégase and Rich Aucoin), and to the festival Les Inrocks Lab at the Gaîté Lyrique (May 2014). Live, MWTE tends to keep away from the electro show caricature : with bass, guitars, vocals and various effects the band plays at the center of the audience, a proximity that favours the immersion into an inner voyage.

The music itself is not simple to describe, as some have hastily labelled it : Chillwave ? Dream Pop ? Electronic Postrock ? It matters little as long as the the rhythm, the melodies and the finesse that emerges from their compositions carry us beyond, to an odyssey in which we find ourselves dancing... Inside.

Artaban is an electro band from Luxembourg founded by Charles and Max Nilles.
 
Their first album, called “Landscapes” was released in 2008. Some critics favourably described it as a
cross between Röyksopp and Boards of Canada.
After numerous concerts (among others as support for Modeselektor, Apparat, Foals, Wax Tailor, Sebastien Tellier, M83), a multitude of remixes and collaborations for movie soundtracks, Artaban are finally back with their second album, called “Flow”.
 
With the support of a new third member to the band, Artaban’s second Opus bears an analog touch. Flirting at times with electro-pop, yet keeping a darker energy and sound, this evolution also translates into the addition of vocals on some tracks.
 
The album "Flow" was released in collaboration with the label Chez Kito Kat Records.
