Loud and Clear (Instrumental Mix)

fka boursin is a DJ and producer out of Bristol, UK. 
Previously known as DJ Boursin, he is recognized for his deep, ambient-infused house music that explores political dimensions of clubs and identity politics.

Welcomed into the Scissor & Thread fold, fka boursin shares two cuts of deep and introspective electronic music. 

The original Listless Intertext is a hazy trip through ambient soundscapes, shuffling rhythms and half-caught conversations, drifting across a 12 minute run time that slowly evolves and shifts with time.  

"Listless Intertext is a track centred around the "failed" employment of cheap vocoder software that attempted to process explicit words and phrases across 11 minutes." says fka boursin. "Instead, the vocoder output made any words indecipherable and I was left with thematic vagueness. The final text of the track is simply a submission to its own limitations with some french thrown in."

When label bosses Frank & Tony step up for their Housebeat Dub, they keep the essential mood but introduce a thick, fat groove that works just as well in conveying the mood. 

"Our remix is a strictly dancefloor approach," says Frank, "an extended psychedelic beat rework perfect for late night, early morning vibes".

Je m’appelle IPAD, je suis artiste peintre et compositrice. Après avoir consacré une grande partie de ma vie à la peinture, j’ai commencé à créer de la musique il y a presque deux ans. Mes morceaux reflètent mon approche visuelle : un mélange de minimalisme, de sonorités modernes et de touches surréalistes. J’explore des thèmes comme le temps, l’introspection, et la mémoire, tout en cherchant à créer des ambiances singulières et immersives. Mon travail n’est pas là pour plaire à tout le monde, mais pour provoquer, amener à réfléchir, à ressentir...
Toutes mes créations, y compris les pochettes, sont de ma propre conception.

My name is IPAD, I’m a visual artist and composer. After spending a large part of my life painting, I started making music almost two years ago. My tracks reflect my visual approach: a mix of minimalism, modern sounds, and surreal touches. I explore themes like time, introspection, and memory, aiming to create unique and immersive atmospheres. My work isn’t meant to please everyone, but to provoke, to make you think, to make you feel.
All my creations, including the covers, are of my own design.
