Longtemps Ezechiel Pailhes, avant que le succès de Nôze ne l’emmène découvrir le reste du monde, est resté prophète en: son pays. Longtemps aussi, il a tissé ce qui est devenu son premier album solo, attendant le moment propice où il ne pourrait plus contenir toutes les mélodies qui peuplent cette épopée nommée Divine Un voyage en monde libre, où la création est sans contrainte de forme, où tout mute selon l’inspiration déterminée du moment.

En 2003 Ezechiel a fondé avec Nicolas Sfintescu le Groupe Nôze, avec lequel ils composent pas moins de 5 Albums et donnent des concerts dans les clubs du monde entier.
Il s’est parallèlement toujours passionné pour la musique de film, et écrit en compagnie de David Lafore en 2009 la B.O du film « Bancs publics » de Bruno Podalydès. Il sort en 2013 son premier album solo Divine qui rencontre un joli succès, et en particulier le titre 'Matin' qui se retrouve en playlist sur Radio Nova et France Inter.

Son deuxième album Tout Va Bien sort en 2017. De belles mélodies de piano en forme de ballades, qui puisent leur inspiration dans le jazz, la musique classique et l’imaginaire cinématographique, des refrains chantonnés, des atmosphères entre nostalgie et rêverie, des instruments au timbre et au charme insolites, des percussions graciles et une subtile production électronique, telle est la recette de Tout Va Bien.

Avec Oh ! , Ezéchiel Pailhès se fait plus chanteur que par le passé, à travers sept chansons et quatre compositions instrumentales, aux modulations intimistes et chaleureuses, portées par des mélodies de piano hypnotiques, des instruments au timbre insolite et une subtile production électronique qui rappelle ses productions passées au sein du duo Nôze.

For a long time Ezéchiel Pailhès remained a prophet in his country and worked on creating what became his first solo album, waiting for the right moment when he could no longer contain all it’s melodies. A voyage in a free world, where creation knows no formal constraints, where everything mutates according to the determined inspiration of the moment.

In 2003 Ezéchiel and Nicolas Sfintescu formed the electronic duo Nôze. They composed five Albums and played in all major clubs around the world. He has always been fascinated by film score. In 2009 he co-composed with David Lafore the soundtrack of Bancs publics by Bruno Podalydès. After two first albums critically acclaimed in 2013 (Divine) and 2017 (Tout va bien), he is taking a new direction. 

On his third album, Ezéchiel Pailhès is exploring, through piano and synths, the encounter between poetry and song. In this new work he has set to music verses by William Shakespeare, Victor Hugo, Pablo Neruda and on three songs, those of the poet Marceline Desbordes-Valmore, a pioneer of romanticism who notably influenced Verlaine and Baudelaire.

With Oh !, Ezéchiel Pailhès has become more of a singer than ever before, through seven songs and four instrumental compositions, with intimate and warm modulations, carried by hypnotic piano melodies, instruments with unusual timbre and a subtle electronic production that recalls his past productions with his former duo Nôze.

In a world of ever recycled trends, Tiefschwarz (deep black) is that most classic of shades. Its timeless style is testament to its staying power, and with a DJ and production career spanning over 14 years, this German deep house duo have proven just how apt a moniker can be. Born and bred in Stuttgart, brothers Ali and Basti Schwarz’s passion for techno and deep house flourished their initial experience as DJs in the early 90’s at the now legendary clubs that Ali ran in their home town, ON –U and Red Dog. This led to the formation of Tiefschwarz in 1997, from which they found rapid success with their debut single ‘Music’ (on Francois K’s Wave Music label) and album Ral 9005. By 2001, this had been licensed to the London label Classic Recordings from where they springboarded to international recognition. They decided to make the move to Berlin, at the time fast becoming the epicentre of a true electronic music renaissance, from where they pursued a hectic touring schedule and remixing the likes of Cassius, The Rapture, Missy Elliott, Kelis and their personal heroes Masters At Work. They then scored a double whammy with their all-conquering crossover hit remix of Spektrum’s ‘Kinda New’ and the single ‘Isst’ off their 2005 long-player, ‘Eat Books’. This was also the year that electrohouse dominated the charts and minimal the clubs, but Tiefschwarz have never allowed themselves to be tied down to a certain sound, staying true to their love of melody as demonstrated on their contribution to the Fabric mix series that year.
A series of high profile mixes in 2006, including Depeche Mode, Madonna, Roxy Music, Booka Shade, Phonique, Plastikman, dOP, and many others saw them continue perfecting their distinctive sound. Yet this was also the year in which Ali and Basti gravitated back to Berlin to found their own label, Souvenir. Basti explains “We like the idea of seeing music as a souvenir, an impression you take from somewhere. Something intimate that you remember”. They haven’t let this slow down their impressive production workload though, with a ten year anniversary compilation and a 2010 follow up album ‘Chocolate’ made in collaboration with Santé, and featuring Cassy, Seth Troxler, Dave Aju amongst others. At a perfect time to take stock of their career, the brothers are proudly contributing the ninth installment in the Watergate mix series, and have chosen a number of tracks that simultaneously pay homage to the tracks that shaped the beginnings of their career whilst also remaining very much forward looking. After years of constant touring, however, their Souvenir label has allowed them to lay down more permanent roots back in Berlin. It’s a place to foster talent, both young and old, not only in a sense of releasing records but also as a platform to share mutual experiences within a common network, a close core of artists work together including Ruede Hagelstein, Maher Daniel, the brothers Santé and Re.You, Ali &amp; Basti at the helm. With plenty more artists on the roster as well as a digital only subsidiary, Souvenir Plus, and a debut LP from Hagelstein on the horizon, there is promise of plenty yet to come for the Schwarz brothers’ imprint.
