IAMBP (I Am Black Panther) is one of the rising DJs in the Parisian underground.
Passionate about rock and hip hop since a young age, IAMBP wishes to mix her different influences through a selection of very specific records, while transporting us on a robotic and atmospheric journey.
As a real enthusiast, it is with a communicative smile and an inexhaustible energy that she shares the fruit of her digging sessions between genres. Evolving in her own musical universe, each of her performances mixes dark and punchy tracks from electro to breaks, passing by old school gems with a ravy and newbeat sound to create a bewitching atmosphere.
She made her debut in the Paris’ clubs and then conquered the big French and foreign cities aiming at representing the women and racialized women on the electronic scene. Today she is one of the artists to follow and has convinced the crowds during her performances on stage.

In this podcast I added raw and grainy pieces, often sinister while venturing into electro & 80's dance music territory. I wanted to show my love for dark, brooding and emotional electronic music. 
On the menu : Electro, Dark disco, Ebm, breaks.

Enjoy.......

Cycast #011 IAMBP (I Am Black Panther)

We're thrilled to welcome LEGRAMVG to the podcast this week – the power-couple behind one of the world’s finest record stores. Now based in Lyon, their shop is a carefully curated treasure trove of musical gems, handpicked by Oscar and Anaïs.

Beyond the counter, you’ll find them behind the decks at some of our favourite dancefloors, their enigmatic sound, often groovy, deep and perfectly dosed with 80's flair, regularly leaving even the deepest diggers stumped. What a pleasure to welcome them onboard for DIM326 after a stand-out set at The Beach last summer.

VA - Shift Frequencies Vol. 2

In 2013, while playing a gig abroad, I shared this track with the promoter who had booked me. A few years later it somehow ended up on a DJ's USB stick (without my approval) and was played in a YouTube stream of his set that racked up a fair number of views. The track was IDed in the comments and since then I’ve had ongoing requests to release it. Since fitting 23 minutes on a vinyl record (at a decent level) is impossible and as I didn’t want to split it across 2 sides, I’ve decided to release it on Bandcamp:

Manos Hadjidakis was a Greek composer & theorist of Greek music, widely regarded as one of the greatest Greek composers of all time. He died in 1994 leaving behind a body of work of profound beauty (musical & philosophical), intertwining the Eastern & Western musical traditions through the scope of his Greek gaze. I grew up with Manos Hadjidakis' music, as back in the 80s and 90s it was taught to children from kindergarten till high school, which left a deep imprint on me.

This remix was produced in 2013 as a tribute to the composer. I sampled his 1973 LP The Wanderer, the Drunken Girl, and Alcibiades. It is far from his best known material, a rather obscure release among his most celebrated works. I chose it because the haunting atmosphere of the LP fits the electronic music scene narrative perfectly. The Wanderer represents the restless modern man searching for meaning through music. The Drunken Girl symbolises innocence but also the intoxication of youth. Alcibiades (the famously controversial Athenian from classical Ancient Greece) becomes a metaphor for ambition, corruption, charm and betrayal. Therefore, the original LP is a musical allegory on the human experience

Tokyo based French producer Laurent introduces his label State of Levitation, dedicated to releasing music that tries to grasp the elusive.
Taking charge of the first release, he delivers 4 tracks unraveling sonic landscapes he resonates with, a blend of styles between techno and electro, dark and bright, with an emphasis on melody and emotional evocations.

I am super happy to share a brand new podcast today. 
It’s one of my favorite I’ve ever recorded. Spontaneous, fully in tune with the vibe I wanted to create, kind of dubbyweirdydarky mood and connected to new atmospheres I’ve been exploring lately. 

I invite you to dive in and enjoy it fully to catch the whole flow :)

Slow Life Podcast Series - 5.2 - Laurine

We are thrilled to present a first split EP from Katia & Nizar - one of the most prominent and aspiring duos in underground electronic music right now. High Tide EP delivers 2 collabs and 2 solo tracks from each artist produced over the last 3 years. Mind-tickling, quirky and deep - this record sits somewhere between techy minimal, electro and breaks. Made for the dancefloor, its different moods and contexts.
