“Whether releasing tracks as Abstract Source or through his many collaborations, you get the idea that this brilliant artist and teacher will touch the lives of many people. His steady flow of directed and passionate energy takes the form of a wonderfully unpredictable musical output"

Ashley Casselle
(Global Underground | Junior Boys Own)

Music means everything to Jules and after a chat about the many layers of his career, he reveals more than a few surprises. From his past DJ exploits playing on a desert island in Malaysia, a Chinese temple for NYE or, closer to home at Dalston's bustling Superstore.

He possesses a unique energy which fills his long white walled studio in Brick Lane, enthusing about the artists he’s collaborated with, like techno pioneer Russ Gabriel on 'The Return EP'. He's most at home among LED lights, flickering buttons and pulsing switches, while drum machines and sequencers roll effortlessly into action to reveal new tracks.

After a spell running the label Abstrakt Dance with techno kingpin Colin Dale, Jules is now focussing on his Abstract Source sound. From the lush house of ‘Day to Night’ on Chicago’s Large Records to the gyrating drum & bass of ‘Tell Me’ on London’s V Recordings.

His music has found its way into some esteemed places: Peter Gabriel's Cue Songs have picked up the rights to his catalogue while Finlay Cowan (Pink Floyd Illustrator) has commissioned him to soundtrack a new project, the intriguing 'Subway Slim'.

Jules is currently developing a music therapy project aptly named DMT (Digital Music Therapy) which stems from a recent bout of insomnia. He has already delivered sound workshops to over 200 people and an album is on its way.

Hip Hop & Electronic Music producer. Also member of Smokey Joe & The Kid.

Art-X, quatre lettres pour un homme et un instrument. Et pas n'importe lequel puisqu'il s'agit du mélodica. Jamais sans son jouet fétiche, Art-X revisite, remixe et compose des morceaux à l'instar de celui qu'on pourrait présenter comme son père spirituel : Augustus Pablo. A la différence près qu'Art-X ne se limite pas aux fondations du reggae jamaïcain. Indéniablement influencé par la scène Bass Music, le mélodiciste originaire de Tours navigue entre les remixes oldschool et les compositions innovantes... le tout pour un Dub énergique et méditatif.

10 ans après avoir fondé, avec son frère Olo, le groupe Ondudground  et le weblabel ODGProd, Art-X lance en 2014 son projet solo. Sa constante créativité l'amènera à sortir plusieurs EP et albums remarqués, comme « Toy Story », « Spiritual Father » ou dernièrement « Blue Lotus ». Musicien depuis l'enfance, Art-X écume les scènes françaises, européennes mais aussi mondiales. Le Mexique a par exemple pu apprécier son talent naturel pour les mélodies. Parfois accompagné d'un groupe, souvent épaulé d'un dub opérateur, sur scène Art-X propose un live à la fois planant et stimulant. En somme, une prestation singulière et difficilement imitable.

Par Hugo Lanoë
____________________________________________________

Art-X is a composer, keyboardist, and also melodica player since the age of 16. 


He founded with his brother the band Ondubground in 2004. After the release of 15 albums and EPs, and many collaborations with for example Biga Ranx and Brother Culture, Art-X decided in 2014 to create his solo project, with the release of his first album dedicated to his favorite instrument.

Titled “Toy Story”, the album is composed of 11 tracks through 9 collaborations : Ondubground, Roots Raid, Dawa Hifi, Panda Dub, Manu Digital, Hatman, Frequency Lab, Miniman and Brain Damage.

In August 2014, Art-X came back with his second album “Cook & Curry”. This release is inspired by reggae-roots classics. Thus, it takes us on a journey through the history of reggae music, supplemented by the specific touch of Art-X and his Melodica.

In 2015 he joined the beatmaker Atili Bandalero and release "Melodica Circuit" then Art-X make himself an album tribute to Augustus Pablo called "Spiritual Father".

All the albums are available in free download on the net-label www.odgprod.com.
