AQUEDEUX BIO

Aquedeux (pronounced a-qua-dew) is Robyn de Jager, a psytrance producer & DJ born and currently residing in South Africa. Music has always been an integral part of her life. She began playing the piano at the age of 3 and violin at the age of 11 and attended an arts high school where she studied classical music.

She discovered electronic music and, more particularly, psytrance quite late in life – in 2009, her last year at university. She immediately fell in love with this strange (to her at that stage) music, mainly because it had perfect timing and amazing sounds she had never imagined could possibly come into existence. She also found the music perfectly and wonderfully confusing. In 2011 she discovered that she could make this music with a computer, all on her own, and her destiny was decided.

In 2012 she spent the year in Cape Town learning how to make psytrance under the masterful tutorship of Xatrik and since then has only gone from strength to strength as a producer. Her classical training is clearly palpable in her music, with her signature sound being characterised by elegant melodies, complex, interwoven harmonies and compelling rhythms.

With several tracks released on Phonix records and an her debut EP released in 2019, which made it into the Beatport top 10 of psytrance releases worldwide, this artist’s exciting journey into the realm of sonic sorcery has only just begun and she hopes to continue to entrance and ensnare your minds & hearts with her music for a long time to come.

As a DJ, she plays her own productions as well as afternoon & night-time twilight psytrance in the range of 141-148bpm.

This is not just musical creation. It is damage control. This is what i have been able to salvage from my life over the years, of beautiful and often hectic, psychedelic adventuring.  I still feel as though the sounds i make do not do justice to the memories i have or the emotions I've felt, but i will continue to seek better ways to describe the intangible. There is no time limit on this project. The music I make is a small aspect in the overall journey of my life. These are the seeds that one day will grow into sonic landscapes that try to describes the full spectrum of reality, as seen through my eyes. 


Peace

Biography :

It came as quite a shock when The Avener’s Fade Out Lines rocketed to number 1 in the German iTunes charts. It had been a long time indeed since a French artist had achieved that kind of success in Germany, especially with such a startling single. The triumph of Fade Out Lines opened a door onto a unique and yet instantly familiar world. Its irresistible, sophisticated rhythms conjured up a dual image of lovers ending up on the quays of the Seine at daybreak, and of an urban club funk beat.
Since then, the single’s phenomenal success has proved contagious, confirming The Avener’s prime intention: to travel the frontiers between genres, periods and styles; between the music we listen to and the music we dance to; between underground and high-end pop. As The Avener says himself: “Fade Out Lines is hard to define. It’s blues with jazz, folk and funk influences, and electronic instruments. It has feelings, emotion and nostalgia, but a lot of energy, too.”
It perfectly reflects his upcoming album, The Wanderings Of The Avener, a sophisticated electro manifesto in the spirit of St Germain and his Boulevard’s nu-jazz sampling, reconciling the styles of Moby and Wankelmut, King Britt and Cassius...
The ghost producer of many club hits, Tristan became The Avener when he decided to re-embrace the pleasure of music for its own sake, his early love of piano and melodies, his rich, eclectic, multilayered musical culture and deep house – an antidote to the mechanical chill that has crept into electro over the last few years.
Tristan shut himself away in the studio for months. “I began to rework old tracks that went unnoticed at the time, giving them a more modern feel...” He was determined to achieve a perfect balance: a mixture of acoustic and electro combining songwriting science with the intuition of a dance-floor specialist. And while The Avener wrote his own music, The Avener also covered Sixto Rodriguez, John Lee Hooker, Mazzy Star, The Be Good Tanyas, Andy Bey and Adam Cohen in a mosaic of seminal blues, underground folk, nocturnal pop, ironic rock and the work of forgotten artists from the 70s and 80s, exploring secret paths of memory. His sampling of Phoebe Killdeer & the Short Straws’ The Fade Out Line, a foretaste of the album, was quietly uploaded in summer 2013. It steadily gathered momentum by word of mouth in France before going massive in Germany and then all around the world.
The Avener’s delicate, radiant style has been welcomed as a So French Touch of Elegance and acclaimed as the missing link between harmonic emotion and the urge to dance worldwide. Confirmation of this triumph looks certain with the release of his first album, The Wanderings of the Avener, out on January 19, 2015.
