M.E.E.O. Emotional house and techno. A sincere and heartfelt producer.

In spite of an eclectic musical journey spanning the breadth of the globe, M.E.E.O (born Mathias Eriksson) has spent his career exploring the depths of the electronic music spectrum. Just as he likens his creative process in the studio to pulling a loose strand from a ball of yarn, his career as a whole has been an exercise in patience that has yielded a rich and dynamic signature sound. As a result, he now boasts releases on Drumcode, Riot Recordings, and Re:Sound Music.

After organically growing melodies and drum patterns, he identifies the core of each arrangement, and he adds and removes layers through a painstaking process of sound curation. What results is a style whose vibrant musicality is matched with equally rich textures.

M.E.E.O’s long journey as a producer has given him a more developed sense of musical identity.

Lausanne, end of the seventies. In their early years, David and Claudio Quinto are rocked daily by the home turntable. A music melting pot of Soul, Funk, Chilean folk music and Disco gave rhythm the italo-peruvian family days.

A few years later, the teen brothers are playing guitar, vocals and bass guitar in several New Wave, Grunge and Shoegaze Bands. They passionately follow the nineties Indie Rock movement.

Shortly after, David moves to Geneva and discovers the Techno, Electro and Drum’n Bass scene in local squats and clubs. A revelation. Everything falls into place: the incorporation of drum machines into his productions, the first steps toward electronic music and Djing. By 2004, under the alias of « David5 », he performed on stage and at festivals like inter alia Le Zoo, Electron Festival, Les Nuits Sonores and the FMR stage at the Paléo.

At the same time, Claudio played with some andin folk bands and performed live which led him to the Caribana, Electrosanne festival and Rocking Chair stage.

In 2010, David and Claudio decide to explore the synergies between their respective experiences and influences. They create QLONS (/klons/). QLONS first refers to the resemblance between both brothers and suggests the interaction between technology and nature, social formatting and individuality.

QLONS is kind of a cloning accident in a world in which conformity is omnipresent.

Therefore, QLONS’s compositions are characterized by a confluence of various inspirations: mix of instruments, household utensil samples (pans, teabox, drills, etc.) and of electronic music. With a delicate balance between melodies, hypnotic atmospheres, percussions and techno rhythms, this meticulous assembly aims to create an emotional journey, a road trip of sound.

In January 2012, Qlons signs with the French label Difu. Their first EP " Tus Ojos ", included the track " Etrange Lundi " played several times by Josh Wink.

Then, several EPs and remixes are released on Difu, Society 3.0, Progrezo recordings or Tea Boy Music, labels which have in particular Unkle, Elbee Bad or ScanX in their catalogs.
In 2014, QLONS participate to the compilation Tour de Traum VIII (Traum Schallplatten) with their track “Lejos”.

QLONS’s tracks are playlisted by Dave Clarke, Ryan Davis and receive support from artists such as Ian Pooley, Laurent Garnier, Max Cooper, Hrdvsion, Taho, Fabrizio Maurizi, Jonny Cruz, Patrick Lindsey, Werner Niedermeier, Noah Pred, Lukas Greenberg

In parallel, the QLONS play liveset or djset on stage at Electron festival, D! Club, Les Nuits Sonores, le Ninkasi, le Terminal Club, Cerise sur Electro, currently offering an intense dancefloor techno.

Yoann Lemoine aka Woodkid, is widely regarded as one of the most creative and exciting artists working in the contemporary music, as witnessed by his hugely acclaimed videos for Global superstars Lana Del Ray and Drake & Rihanna amongst others. Woodkid is the musical artist, the songwriter/singer/lyricist/producer, who has made this beautiful record. The visual aspect remains hugely important with Woodkid directing all his own videos and turning his live performances into a spectacle rarely seen in the world of pop music. Together with a 30-piece orchestra, he turned the venerable Le Grand Rex theatre in Paris into a place of ecstasy in front of 3,000 adoring fans last September. “When I started playing my own music, I wanted it to be as tall as a skyscraper. Images can achieve that. A really big orchestra can also achieve that.” 

This creative ambition and artistic freedom have allowed Woodkid to make such a unique sounding and powerful album as The Golden Age.  “It’s all about that time of passage between adolescence and adulthood, into that confusing hyper-reality,” Woodkid notes.

Daft Punk is an electronic music duo consisting of French musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (born February 8, 1974) and Thomas Bangalter (born January 3, 1975).[1][2][3] Daft Punk reached significant popularity in the late 1990s house movement in France and met with continued success in the years following, combining elements of house with synthpop.[1][2][4] The duo is also credited with producing songs that were considered essential in the French house scene. They were managed from 1996 to 2008 by Pedro Winter (Busy P), the head of Ed Banger Records.[5]
Early in the group's career, the band members were strongly influenced by groups such as The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones. Bangalter and de Homem-Christo were originally in an indie rock trio called Darlin', which disbanded after a short period of time, leaving the two to experiment musically on their own. The duo became Daft Punk, and released their critically acclaimed debut album Homework in 1997. The 2001 release Discovery was even more successful, driven by the club singles "One More Time", "Digital Love" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". In March 2005, the duo released the album Human After All to mixed reviews. However, the singles "Robot Rock" and "Technologic" achieved success in the United Kingdom. Daft Punk toured throughout 2006 and 2007 and released the live album Alive 2007, which won a Grammy award for Best Electronic/Dance Album. The duo composed the score of the film Tron: Legacy and in 2010 released the soundtrack album of the film.
Daft Punk is noted for its elaborate live shows, in which visual elements and effects are incorporated with the music. The group is also known for its emphasis on visual and story components associated with their musical productions, as well as for wearing ornate robot costumes in public and while performing.

La Fleur is nothing short of a visionary, with her every move an impossibility to ignore.

At almost 20 years since her first footsteps into the music space, the producer, DJ and labelhead meticulously fuses house and techno with infectious melodies to trigger even the deepest emotions. Her sonic palette carefully curates a story – and when lauded by names including Kerri Chandler, Sasha, Pete Tong and Kenny Larkin, its narrative is one of genius.

With her label Power Plant and consequent debut ‘Flowerhead’ becoming immediately lauded in underground communities, La Fleur’s discography has blossomed from strength to strength; including - but not limited to - releases via revered labels including Kompakt and Cocoon, a residency and valued relationship with Watergate Berlin, her remixing Kerri Chandler and Sasha (including a hit 2018 collaboration with the latter on ‘Förbindelse’), a remix by Carl Craig and an abundance of high-profile party and festival appearances. Think Awakenings Festival, Tomorrowland, Life Festival, Creamfields and Warung, an array of Ibiza’s superclubs, Printworks London and Motion Bristol to name merely a few — the Swedish artist shows no sign of slowing down.

Looking to the future with new album ‘Väsen’, she brings listeners on a journey with her intrinsic self — the archaic Swedish word models not only an entity, but also an essence, added to its associated meanings embodying the natural world, strength and noise. It is a truly introspective collection of tracks, embodying La Fleur’s journey-like sound.

La Fleur’s trailblazing ascent shows no signs of deceleration. Her beautiful sonic concoction of house and techno creates the perfect storm for dancefloors young and old — and her curation comes directly from within.
