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.

Natalie Gardiner - Slowly Softly (DRAGAN. & Mikhu Edit)

Release: 01.12.2014 Tracklist: A DJ Pierre - What Is House Muzik (Ricardo Villalobos What Is Dub Remix) B DJ Pierre - What Is House Muzik (Ricardo Villalobos What Is Dub Remix) watch out, it is ONE track/remix cut over 2 sides to ensure more sound volume. 16 minutes each side, total of 32 minutes! Short info: Anyone who takes it upon themselves to contemplate over the history of house music, along with its highlights and key players, will inevitably stumble upon DJ Pierre’s name sooner or later. The Chicago-born producer and DJ has been living and breathing underground dance music, namely house, since its inception in his very own hometown. For this very special Get Physical release, we’ve decided to pay homage to DJ Pierre’s contribution to the worldwide dance community by way of an epic re-release of that most iconic of tracks, ‚What is House Muzik’. Originally released in 1994, the classic gets the Get Physical treatment with a slew of remixes in celebration of house music’s eternal place in our hearts and its resurge in popularity amongst today’s club goers. A special-edition vinyl born of a very special digital compilation. The union of many celebrated artists in honor of a landmark of house music -namely, DJ Pierre’s ‚What is House Muzik’ - gives way to what we have here: 36 minutes of pure, unadulterated Villalobos at his most characteristic. 36 minutes of a master’s knack for deconstructing and putting back together in the most abstract of ways. Ricardo Villalobos asked himself What is House Muzik? and the answer took him to a deep, dubby land that he walks us through for all of 36 minutes, complete with bubbling rhythms and bone-dry kicks. 18 minutes on each side and a good long while to ruminate on that now almost-metaphysical of questions: What, indeed, is house music? Here’s one answer. As for the motive behind such an important release? Well, DJ Pierre puts it best himself: “I’m very happy “What is House Music” is being
