Venomous Drifts

In September 2018, Chat Noir Distribution released the first volume
of its House de France compilation. This release consisted of 21 tracks : 13 already released on different French labels and 8 exclusive titles from artists such as Bellaire, Groove Boys Project, Alva, Too Many Cars, Avorton, OHES, Matthieu Faubourg or Bwi-Bwi. This first volume was a big success with over 2,000,000 streams, 1,600 titles sold
digitally and more than 300 vinyls.
Since then, the French scene kept developping & reinventing itself and new faces have emerged within this artistic bubbling. Career development of some artists presented on the first volume leads us to believe that this project makes more sense than ever. It is a panorama of the parties involved within the new French scene.
Chat Noir Rec. is therefore very proud to announce the forthcoming release of the second volume of this compilation. The main goal remains the same (to highligh the new french scene) but the shape of it changes somewhat. This new project will include 16 exclusive titles in digital and will be accompanied by the release of a «Vinyl Sampler» which will include 6 titles from the digital version. Tracklisting is inspired by the mixed compilations from the 90’s: it is built like a DJ set with an evolution and coherent sequences between the tracks. We will use a promo mix which will feature the initial tracklisting with the mixed titles in order to promote the release.
The project aims to show the diversity of the new French house scene by highlighting different sub-genres of this movement: ambient, deephouse, tech-house, acid, minimal, italodisco, electrofunk… The artists present on this compilation represent the future of our scene and we are very proud to push them forward.

PREMIERE : Dub Striker - VV Cephei

A ten-course meal was awaiting the guests who huddled around a dimly lit wooden table wedged in the corner of the restaurant. As they exchanged pleasantries and drank wine they were slowly overcome by the implacable avalanche of taste: each ingredient dissected and singled out, each recipe deconstructed and elevated, creating newly discovered flavours. Each new dish quashed its predecessor with its soaring levels of palatable intricacy, leaving the guests' taste buds eagerly awaiting what lay in store next.

VONDA7, founder of Berlin-based art | werk has delivered her latest single "Change of Heart", accompanied by remixes by her jam buddies Danny Goliger and Byron The Aquarius. Today we share Byron The Aquarius' version; a sunkissed rework that matches VONDA7's dreamy far out vocals with weightless keyboard stabs and tripped out breaks.

Change of Heart

PREMIERE: VONDA7 - Change of Heart (Byron The Aquarius Dub Remix) [art|werk]

The sheets were soft and luxurious to the touch as he climbed into the expansive bed and rolled around in the midst of the darkness. He'd never felt linen like it, so delicate and comforting in such a grand room which lay beneath the stars. He popped a pill to help him sleep and gazed upwards into the black sky up above as the stars danced majestically atop a canvas of darkness. Soon he would fall asleep, comforted by the soft, dense warmth of a dream far away.

Premiere: Remi Wanless 'A New Wave'

Winter was fast approaching, turning the bright auburn and orange leaves underfoot crisp with cold. The grey landscape mirrored the expressions of the inhabitants that walked the streets. You'd be hard pressed to find a smile in these parts. Perhaps it was self-preservation, an "every man for themselves" mentality. Or maybe it was simply the turn in the weather; a sure dictator of mood in the city.

A celebration of the artists and friends who've worked with producer Thoma Bulwer at his TB Mastering studio in Hackney Wick, the next release on his own Parasol Culture imprint comes in V/A form, bringing together a huge line up of collaborators and affiliates. Aptly titled Wick Voyagers, the 14-track compilation showcases the sounds of the artists and their respective labels, featuring exclusive tracks from Voigtmann, Paranoid London, N-GYNN and Adam Curtain and, of course, Thoma himself alongside Anna Wall, Subb-an, Johnny Aux and Oli Silva.

John “Cyclonix” Wilcox is the original raver, the sort of person who knows the roots of his music inside out. He can craft an electronic music sculpture that echoes both the classic dance sound of the UK (bass heavy, chord based, break sampling and crisp), and the purest Chicago and Detroit house and techno influences. Some of the highlights on his career include releasing on cult labels like Tusk Wax, Smuggler’s Inn, Bristol’s Boogie Café and Phuture Shock Musik or contemporary dance floor soul staple Broadcite among other highly recommended projects.

“Efeito Borboleta” is his take on the Percebes sound and it features three incredible originals and a home-made remix by girl of the moment Sheri Vari.

It kicks off with “Butterfly Effect”: a deep stomper that could well have been released on Underground Quality or Sistrum. It is space and emotion, bubbling with jungle breaks and 909 power, channeled through the medium of deep, touching house music.

“Gift of a Patient Soul” is a slower burner, a crunchy jazzy mid-tempo acid funker - perfect to get that foot tap on. The remix by Sheri Vari flips it into a psychedelic deep trip, tapping into that odd parallel world where Rick Wade did a track with Maurice Fulton.

“Warm as Hoth” closes the EP. A funky live bass is intertwined by dreamy chords and chaotic melodies, made of stuttering vocal samples. The kind of thing you’d expect if Todd Edwards did a track with Marc Mac: classic UK garage with a jazz-funk vibe and a Detroit Techno feel. Hard to define, but very easy to listen to and play out.

Who else would have thought before the year 2020, that this new decade starts with a devastating natural incident that pushes the entire world in a health crisis and recession? Well, we sure didn’t. And still, after 11 months, this damn virus doesn’t seem to go away. But no matter how bad this pandemic is. There is no need to stop being creative! Many people used their time during the lockdowns as much as possible to make new music. And Jakobin is one of these guys who took his time this spring to work on brand new material, that is slowly but surely coming out the next months on various labels. One of them is his Locked EP on our imprint - fortunea. The title track on the A-side is an amazing piece of house music. A great homage on the raw punching Chicago sound and the late 80s/early 90s UK rave era. Heavy Breakbeat-loops blend in perfect together with the use of 909 kicks, low-frequenced acid lines and a stabbing piano. Turning over to the B-side there is the track ‚Pad Work’. A deep dub house tune with a nuance of Lo-ﬁ-nism in it. Mysterious voices that are coming forward from the background of this bouncing beat, a restrained but also smooth bassline and hypnotic string- and synthesizer-passages are the main characters in this tableau. While ‚Dreadbox’ is sealing the deal on this release with an abstract melancholic sciﬁ elektro approach. Overall a conspicuous release, that lets you forget the chaos that is happening right now in this world. All we wanna say at the end of this text is stay safe out there! And don’t give up!
