Chemical Love

Arno Gonzalez is producing a modern house sound that sometimes ventures into melodic territory close to Electronica, the Angevin artist was first spotted by the Parisian label Missive, then by Timid Records, on which he released his debut album “Encounters”, as well as a number of EPs and remixes...

Today, he is one of the spearheads and leaders of Brique Rouge, David Duriez's label, with whom he is on a mission to perpetuate and reinvent a certain vision of House and Techno music.

With this second album, which marks “the end of innocence”, Arno explodes the codes of his music to better transcend them. We find his inimitable touch, a particular sound that is sometimes minimal, sometimes warm and melodious, a real signature on 13 tracks that tell a real story.

If this is the end of innocence, it's also the beginning of maturity.




Brique Rouge label is a pillar of the French House underground since 1999.

The label continues to disseminate the electronic sound David Duriez believes in, far from formatting and excessive vulgarity. An eclectic electronic sound that remains rooted in the underground and on vibe above all.  In general, the team's artists benefit from a carte blanche, and it's above all the state of mind that counts. The label isn't looking for success, it's a success. The success of being able to release music without compromise. With one release a week on platforms since 2020, the label (and its divisions RZ Muzik & Obliqu3) is seen as a key player on the French underground electronic scene, given the activism it demonstrates.

Faithful to the spirit of this music's beginnings - Acid House, Chicago and New York House, or the power of Belgian or Detroit Techno - the label has been churning out releases for 25 years without ever sinking into cynicism, nostalgia or parody. Brique Rouge has established itself as a key French label for the distribution of emerging and creative artists (known and unknown) who draw their inspiration from the roots of the genre, but also pursue the search for new vibes. Without commercial imperatives, the label innovates and denies itself nothing. No formatting, no time sacrificed on the altar of the platforms of streaming, with Brique Rouge it's not the face of the human behind the machine that is highlighted, but its music.

TANTUM Photism / Follow Me

001 photism
002 photism chook remix
003 follow me
004 follow me arude remix

A fizzing, crackling backdrop powers a new sonic arsenal from southwestern Germany, Tantum explodes out of Karlsruhe in brilliant "Photism". Aural shards pierce the frequency spectrum with pinpoint precision as heavy beat anchors. "Follow Me" with continued narrative and sonic synchronicity. Bassline cadence and hi-hat groove are wrapped in warm rhythmic blanket while analogue motif creates a new melodic mosaic. Patterns swirl enriching the auditory senses – buzzing and swirling they saturate the mind in iridescent colours.

A Luxembourg star, once again in ascendance sparkles with a new "Photism". Synaesthetic colours emerge from Chook's mind, brilliantly conceived they converge in sonic patterns that spin and eddy across the mind's eye. Echoes of Tantum rip through bassline power and saturated brilliance. A Mango Alley debutant finds Arude forging his own path. "Follow Me" creates a new vision, unencumbered by convention as a legato lead slides in mesmeric fashion and familiar fragments permeate the sonic consciousness. Rising and falling with consummate ease, snare fills and rolling groove showcase talent in abundance.

TANTUM Photism (Chook Remix)

Following the release of "Asok", last month on Awen Records as a part of the two tracks Ep "Two Worlds", "Siam" is a new tribute to the city that is hosting me since october 2019.
I'm talking about the great, unique Bangkok.
Whereas "Asok" is a composition intentionally directed to the dancefloor, "Siam" is a dreamy, neverending journey which seems to reveal the real spirit of that magical city.

Milesaway - Farewell

Through experiences, we tell our stories, shape our personalities, and build our perception of life.

We thus also become subject to sudden and unpredictable changes of moods and to whims and caprice of life. Like the planet Mercury, we split into two. Our one-half freezes in endless darkness, while the other half glitters with a perfect shade of orange under the rays of our one and only sun. We thus become the Mercurials. We live through different tones of life, swinging from ice to fire.

Certain life experiences evoke certain emotions, and these emotions, at once, push thoughts to the surface - thoughts that puncture our life. An experience thus turns into an anchor that we hold fast and remember forever.

Contrary to traditional music labels, Mercurial Tones is about these experiences which are simultaneously fleeting and enduring, dislocating and connecting.  

The Mercurial Tones is about us; it is about the ceaseless battle that we fight with ourselves, creating this Mercurial cacophony. And it is about our story which will resonate throughout the universe, carving out a piece of art from this formless, anarchic background. 

If you want to reach us; please don't hesitate to contact. We are ready to listen.
