Release info:
"The show must go on as Freddy Mercury used to sing. Clubs are still shut and most of us are still locked down at home, so why not liven up that silence with a more upbeat twist?
To open the 2021 festivities, Swann Decamme releases our first EP of the year, entitled « Curfew ». The is the third record of the Parisian DJ and producer on his label Curiosity Music.

Swann is known for his open-minded style of navigating between minimal, deep, and tech house, with a predilection for hypnotic loops and sound waves. He distinguishes himself with this unique combination, that you will recognize in the two original tracks he delivers here. Composed during the second lockdown in France, this new Swann Decamme’s opus might be his most experimental and invites us to push the doors to another universe, dancy, classy, groovy, and cerebral. The first track, « Curfew », is a sweet deep house journey, mixing a light but effective beat to almost middle east inspired sounds. The second track, « Strange Situation » leads us to a mysterious introspective trip, coated in a smooth, chill tech house beat and few well-felt piano notes.

His good friend and techno legend Quenum complete the EP by singing a remix of « Curfew ». Very melodious, with its catchy vocals and bewitching loops, this track is a call to dance and to let go.

Quenum & Andrès Garcìa LIVE @Mapping Festival, Geneva (2005) - FREE DOWNLOAD

We’re delighted to welcome our next guest at Deep House Barcelona, @Quenum from London / Geneva!  QUENUM is an amazing artist with an established 30-year career that has gained the respect of techno pioneers as well as the following of the younger generation. He is also co-founder of the well-known labels Cadenza and Access 58. This mix is a perfect club hypnotic journey, reflecting a balance between his eclectic vision of deep house grooves and mysterious, warm vocals for your listening pleasure. While we’re listening, we feel inspired to dancing the days and nights away, and we thank you, QUENUM, for the outstanding and elegant house set you recorded for us! 

When QUENUM settled in London in the 90s, he started working with Paulo Nascimento, a studio musician and sound engineer. In 1997 they released their first EP on Pacific Records - that is how Access 58 was born. They performed live and played DJ gigs at all the legendary London clubs, such as The End and the Velvet Rooms, for Carl Cox’s Ultimate Base nights. Access 58 collaborated with major artists of the 90s, such as The Advent and Umek and released over 30 EPs on various labels including their own (also called Access 58).

In 2001 QUENUM moved to Switzerland, where he soon met another talented artist with whom he would make history, Luciano. Together, in Luciano’s studio in the Swiss mountains, they composed “Orange Mistake” – recognized as one of the anthems of techno music. But when they approached various labels to release it, no one was interested. That’s how they started their own label, Cadenza. Soon after Luciano moved to Berlin, becoming the label’s boss. From his base in Geneva, QUENUM continued playing all the big clubs in the US and Europe – especially with Cadenza in Panorama Bar where they invited Apollonia, Thomas Melchior, Loco Dice – riding the wave of interest that “Orange Mistake” generated.

In the next decade he continued producing groovy techno released on all the top labels (incl. Transmat, Crosstown Rebels, Cocoon, Fabric, Get Physical) and playing clubs all over the world. Above all, QUENUM is a classic DJ whose primary concern is to bring the dancefloor alive and ensure everyone leaves the club happy and fulfilled. His love for the groove was nurtured in his music-filled Afro-Caribbean home. When the hip-hop wave first arrived in France, he went crazy for it and became one of the country’s most skilled break-dancers (all his brothers are top dancers too). One day, when he was 17 years old, he went to visit his uncle who worked as a security guard for the Palace nightclub in Paris. That experience cemented QUENUM’s love for the dancefloor and nightlife. Around the same time, he saw DJ DST perform with Herbie Hancock at the Roxy club in New York and then he knew that’s what he wanted to do. And he’s never diverted from that path. Fast forward to the 2000s and you will find QUENUM playing all over the world. Standout releases include: Agbaja EP on Butane’s Alphahouse label (2007) / Captain Deutschland 2 on Dandy Jack’s Ruta 5 label (2010) / Dachshund & Quenum, the Mammoth on Damian Lazarus’s Rebellion label (2012). From 2013 to 2019 Quenum worked in partnership with Cesare vs Disorder. Together as Azimute they toured Asia, Australia and South America. They released Azimute on Serialism and ran their label nights in Brazil, London and Berlin.

QUENUM is known as one of the friendliest faces in techno, which explains why he loves collaborating with his brothers-and-sisters-in-arms. 13 years after releasing “Orange Mistake”, he was back on Cadenza with his EP “Solitaire”, which got rave reviews on Resident Advisor. His next release is a 4track EP on Melbourne based label "Balance Music" on July 9th, and we can’t wait to hear it!

➤ About:
We welcome dance music veteran Quenum to the Balance Music stable. The Cadenza Records co-founder is no stranger to the global scene. His releases on labels from Rebellion to Soma have cast deep spells globally for over 30 years now. He delivers a four-track EP on this Balance debut that feels minimal in aesthetic but maximal in expression.  If you find yourself lost in a groove, you’re probably listening to ‘Batman Wake Up’. Highlighted by warm bass which rumbles and rolls, the dripping percussion gallops at a steady pace. A distant synth rises like a wave, and with it, uplifts the listener into a controlled euphoria.     With a peculiar rising bass, there is a feeling of hypnosis that permeates ‘Briggs Street’. It would feel like a transmission from a different dimension if it weren’t for the almost languorous vocal, anchoring you in the present. This is one for the serious heads.  
‘Small Brain’ features an inviting jungle stomp that draws you in before a deep, blubbering bass catches you in its thick web. It forges into a breakdown thick with intensity and high on mystery. Approach with caution; on a massive sound system, this will cause a stampede of curious punters to the DJ box asking for the track ID. 
  On ‘Step by Step’, the pressure is released a tad. Random vocal statements float on top of a fantastic house rhythm. The beautiful discordant stabs, a throbbing bassline, and a direct house beat all merge to make this the most accessible cut on the EP.

A lover of music in all its forms, QUENUM has an established 30-year career and has gained the respect of techno pioneers as well as the following of the younger generation.

When QUENUM settled in London in the 90s he started working with Paulo Nascimento, a studio musician and sound engineer.

AIRCAST 070 | QUENUM

The 100Hz remix of Express Yourself is a light, airy, shuffling number that  gently floats across your brain like the dawn. 100Hz (AKA Lee Renacre) has his  eyes firmly set on the sunrise as the tune twinkles in and out of existence, pulsing  gently with piano and shimmering synth. One for those last standing.

4.PREVIEW - QUENUM - EXPRESS YOURSELF (100HZ REMIX)

Original Pacific Records London stablemate Marsden (Hot Lizard) roughs  things up on Express Yourself remix duties. He adds layers of squelch, snare and  syncopated crunch to give the tune a harder, more gyrating quality - like listening to  an orchestra on acid. He makes more of the vocal snippet on the original, giving it  prominence - and plenty of heart and soul.

Express yourself (Marsden Remix)

3. PREVIEW - QUENUM - EXPRESS YOURSELF (MARSDEN REMIX)

In 1997 Quenum released a record on Pacific Records alongside Paulo Nascimento. Since then his career has evolved dramatically and he has established himself as an innovative, expressive musician having formulated a thirty year long career in dance and electronic music. He has released material on the likes of Soma, Rebellion, Crosstown Rebels and many more. 

However, earlier this year it was announced that he would be returning to the record label which started it all for him. Pacific Records has recently relaunched and much of the highly sought after material from the late 90's is resurfacing alongside material from friends and family. 

Quenum has attempted to recapture the sound of the label in its formative years with a new EP titled "Express Yourself". The record features dubbed out synth stabs, soft rolling percussion and wonderful deep sensibilities which will delight on the dancefloor.

Fully charged like most of Quenum’s rich, chugging techno output, Express Yourself is a late night, eyes closed, full body journey through piano, percussion and pounding bass – woven with his occasional trademark chord stab and random vocal snippet to keep you on your toes. At 120 BPM, the track sits at ease on both the dancefloor and the long mix. This is a corker of a first new tune from Pacific after 20 years radio silence.

Premiere: Quenum - Infinity Circle [Pacific Records London]

Quenum dj set 2010

Quenum is an extraordinary individual. A professional breakdancer that was raised in Africa, he found love in London in the 80s through mastering the art of DJing to early electronic music and broke into the spotlight as Acess58 in the 90s before forming the Cadenza label with Luciano in 2003.

His debut album ‘Face To Face’ is deliriously deep and melancholic, rhythmically complex and gives a fragile new voice to techno. Across the eleven original tracks, Phillippe Quenum exudes a graceful temperance creating tracks that flutter and take flight (indulge in the soothing hi­hats of ‘Escales’ and synth voices of ‘Children Of The Sun’) as well as rattle the bass bins (sample the raw energy of ‘Basic Solution’ and delicate power of ‘Ritual’). Both sparse and insightful (‘My People’) as well as intricate and anthemic (Never Loose My Soul’) Quenum’s delivery is always quirky and slightly surprising and ‘Face To Face’ is a curious analysis into this honest musical soul.

BACKGROUND

o Deejaying since the early 80’s and living in London throughout the 90’s, Quenum gained notoriety founding Acess58 in 1996, before moving to Geneva and setting up Num records in 2005. Together with Luciano, Quenum founded the uber­successful label Cadenza, finding a home for their first collaboration “Orange Mistake” ­ one of the most played tracks of the last ten years in the techno circuit. More recently, Quenum partnered with Swiss producer Dachschund to found the Clapper imprint.

 Philippe Quenum is a key figure within the techno scene, garnering a considerable stream of releases on labels including Contexterrior, Crosstown Rebels, Orac, Trapez, Serialism and Toys for Boys, with tracks appearing on close to 20 compilations on labels such as Fabric (Carl Craig) and Cocoon.

o+o Crediting his childhood in Africa and his family background for his musical taste, Quenum has worked on music for documentaries and had a career as a break­dancer. A keen experimenter, his productions are known for their simplicity yet richness in detail. His flawless mixing technique and live sets are constantly redefining and upgrading abstract electronic dance music.
