quintessentials 60: various artists - 10 years quintessentials
2x12"/Digital out late august/early september

'Time flies' as the saying goes and indeed it has as Quintessentials celebrates its 10 year anniversary. For a decade this mighty label has been getting some true love and support from all quarters. Listening to the back catalogue now, most of the tunes still sound fresh and keep the label's famous “deep, raw and real” motto alive. 

Quintessentials has always been a platform for new talents as well as established artists, and with he likes of Anton Zap, Vakula, Baaz, The Zohar, MCDE, Nicolas, Ugly Drums, Toby Tobias, Borrowed Identity, Mat Chiavaroli, 4004, Soul of Hex, S3A, Loz Goddard, Felipe Gordon, Javonntte……to name but a few, it’s an enviable back catalogue. 

This “Ten Years Quintessentials” compilation offers a wide range of styles: Detroit inspired Techno and House, a ruff Chicago stomper, some proper deep House, a discoish tool, and crafty beats and basslines all over! We hope you enjoy this compilation as much as we do. We are ready for the next decade! Are you?

quintessentials 60: v.a. - borrowed identity - for you

Upcoming gigs:





Born and raised in France in the early 80’s, Charles rapidly realized that he was highly receptive to all kinds of music. Things really became serious during his high school years when mainstream hits like “Armand Van Helden - You don’t know me –” and French touch bangers like “Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You” became available to the masses, making an impression to his young uneducated ears. Needless to say, those tracks were a complete shocker and made him start his own musical revolution. Crate digging became a weekly ritual as soon as he managed to get his first turntables and mixer setup. The first vinyl he bought was a Soma compilation—a complete game changer and the first bricks added to his own musical world. Exploring the underground was (and still is) the exciting part of the game!

Growing up in the Parisian suburbs, his track selection has always been heavily influenced by soul, funk, hip hop culture, groovy melodies and more recently a deeper minimal house flavour. Listen to his DJ sets carefully and you might hear heavy beats dropped “chirp scratch style”.
Now spending most of his time between Toronto and Montreal, Charles is always on the move to share his music with people and making new connections. He recently got into production, learning the job slowly but surely... keep your ears open fellas!
