Two seasoned French DJs/producers team up in a Parisian studio for a vibrant alliance destined at the more elusive dancefloors - vous avez dit disco noir?

Long-time chums Jerry Bouthier and Julien Plaisir de France met at the beginnings of rave and forged an enduring friendship based on mutual artistic respect as well as a fondness for absurd humour and all things 80s. Both went on to define their own path whilst regularly contemplating working together on a project, alas to no avail. Until recently when, on a whim, they cracked open the champagne in the studio, let the jokes flow and finally got down to it. Created on vintage tools, fat synths and classic drum machines ‘Eccitatissimo’ (the clue is in the name) throws hypnotic basslines, chorus guitars and frantic effects into the mix; a 120 BPM peak-time banger that pushes the right buttons, groovy yet trance-like with spaced-out breakdown.

Balearic player of the early Parisian rave/house scene (with late brother Tom), long since relocated to London, Jerry Bouthier eventually joined the dots between dancefloor and fashion as he became DJ stalwart of the Kitsuné label/clothing brand (owned by Daft Punk’s manager), touring around the world on the back of his residency at infamous London club BoomBox; whilst simultaneously maturing as diligent sound-designer for the fashion world (Vivienne Westwood etc), a craft - characterising moods - tailor-made for Jerry. Over the years he has created hundreds of soundtracks for the catwalks of London, Paris, Milan, NY and deejayed at the parties of some of fashion’s biggest names, yet still relishes his me time in the studio looking for the perfect beat/melody.

Having learnt the bass in his teens in the aim of joining his mates’ band, Julien Plaisir de France quickly caught the electronic bug, released his first 12”s on seminal Parisian house label Pro-Zak Trax and soon scored a club smash under his Sweet Light moniker with electro monster ‘Abusator’ (championed by 2 Many DJs, Tiga, Ivan Smaghe…). He renamed himself Plaisir de France and became a reference on the edit scene breathing new life in plethora of classics. Julien has just rounded off twenty years of music-making with the release of his debut album '#20’ celebrating timeless French electronic pop with the help of a motley bunch of stand-out vocalists and his own personal gallic twist. Still, true to himself, he remains a generous, eternally enthusiastic dj.

Jerry Bouthier: “We both love the original new wave/post-punk of yore, the sound of NY clubs such as Mud Club, Danceteria etc, when electronic instruments started to infiltrate studios and dancefloors. Futuristic music to dance to - obviously fed by disco - but also packed with attitude and interesting new sounds. A landmark in time… With Julien our musical trajectories crossed again thanks to the current dark disco thump that harps back to that golden era, it was the perfect moment to combine our inspirations and contribute to this scene that keeps on pushing the limits… A good occasion to spend time with Julien who makes you look at life with a smile, priceless!"

Julien Plaisir de France: “Sure, ‘Eccitatissimo’ is all about dancing… from the past to the future, from maximal to minimal! Jerry and I go a long way, our friendship has lived through various eras and music styles. We may share an appreciation for bands, our roots I guess. Our initial bond stems from having succumbed early on to the drive of the synthetic beat though. We never fail to value powerful ideas or inspired musicianship, hence the logic of combining our skills - my tendency to let sonic concepts run wild and Jerry’s no nonsense study of what makes bodies move - in order to deliver fresh, effective tracks

Seb El Zin, the french composer and multi-instrumentalist known for being a rule breaker in music with his progressive, psychedelic and highly non-4/4 band ITHAK, and hip-hop-free-noise collective ANARCHIST REPUBLIC OF BZZZ, makes his debut in the electronic music scene by entering the stage through a door he designed himself : an atypical uptempo production, driven and influenced by two decades of exposure to turkish music, and filled with original and idiosyncratic sounds that will enchant every listener. By marrying traditional ottoman patterns with prog-psy elements in a modern electronic music context, Seb El Zin has created his own language. Unlike the name of his debut EP "Lingua Minimalista '' suggests, his productions are full of subtle melodic details and irresistible harmonies. We, at THISBE Recordings, fall for that paradox and the phenomenon Seb El Zin. 

The musician brings a fresh approach to the Indie electronic music world, making the label delighted to release his debut EP, a production that includes the title track "Lingua Minimalista" and the single "The Hashashins´Aksak". Remixes by French producer & DJ @Andrewclaristidge and Berlin-based label head honcho @Pyrame do complete the EP.''
