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.

Following the release of our first compilation Volumes, and the debut of our second exclusive podcast series, Anotimpuri (The Four Seasons) with Iarna by Barac, we are excited to unveil the Spring featuring Sepp.

A season of new beginnings, colors, and life, Primăvara (The Spring) brings a fresh chapter to our Anotimpuri series.

His unique musical language perfectly captures the spirit of renewal, growth, and vibrant energy that spring brings. We are thrilled to have him join forces with the laminim family and contribute to this special compilation.

Anotimpuri is an exploration of the seasons through sound, a tribute to time’s passing and the emotions it stirs within us. Each chapter is a personal story, an invitation to listen deeply, to feel, and to reconnect.

Let the music bloom!
