REMAIN & daWad - We Are Le Turfu EP - LN054
Incl. Charlotte Bendiks Remix

Set to arrive in September, ‘We Are Le Turfu’ is the debut collaborative effort by creatively curious French producers REMAIN & daWad. REMAIN is a well known Rex Club resident,
founder of Meant Records, and has a plethora of releases on labels including Throne of
Blood, Darkroom Dubs, and Death On Wax. He is a man of many simultaneous projects,
namely Danse Alice, which has previously released on Lumière Noire. daWad has co- managed the IRM label which released Traumer’s first records, who came
from a musical family with his pianist mother and his grandfather an organist and harmonizer for a church in Provence. With releases on KNTRL, La Dame Noir Records, Beachcoma and more, this new project marks his debut on Lumière Noire.

Their duo alias known as ‘We Are Le Turfu’ was coined one night, playing records back to back, dancefloor receptive, captive, grooving, and bursting at the seams. With decades of
experience under their belts, this three track EP is the first studio effort of the combo and
flawlessly embodies the delightfully dark, cybernetic electronica CHLOÉ’s avant- garde label and club night is renowned for.

Opening track ‘Shame Shell’ see’s REMAIN & daWad enlisting a harsh, wintery mix of melodics to clash menacingly with the track’s probing bassline. Whilst somewhat sparse in parts, these producers have curated a deeply atmospheric and mesmerising composition, employing spidery synth patterns alongside me chanised percussion to produce a gloomy, subaquatic soundscape.

‘Still Care’ weaves sinister electronic measures with cutting EBM like motifs. The track’s abrasive inception, which features a coarse cluster of murmuring overtones and hypnotic drum rolls, methodically grows in stature and before long bursts at the track’s mid point to make way for glacial strings which adds an icy ambience to this dark, cosmic roller.
A special remix on this release comes from Charlotte Bendiks, an artist from Norway who focuses on alluring dance and body music. Although her main genre is classic house, her sets are inspired and influenced by music ranging from disco to African groove and Latin beats. Her live vocals and percussion, as well as integrating other musicians has become somewhat of a trademark. Her remix for ‘Still Care’ takes the original into a more downtempo, trippy edit.

The first single ‘Same Shell’ will be released on September, 13th and ‘We Are Le Turfu’ EP will be available from 4th October on Lumière Noire Records

Wild Ride - Dec, 20th 2024
Full EP - Jan, 10th 2025

We must be the spearhead of our own movements, and @MEANT is doing that with the forthcoming release of GET CLOSER EP, which has been penned and performed by founder and curator REMAIN as one half of the duo with @daWad aka We Are Le Turfu.

This EP features two original tracks from the dance floor-ready pair, as well as a remix from French electronic music legend @dj-oil (R&S, Multi Culti), and is the follow-up to their debut ‘We Are Le Turfu’ EP  released on LUMIERE NOIRE in Oct 2024.

With decades of experience under their belts, this second studio effort flawlessly embodies their signature sound & carefully crafted production with this particular raw intensity driven by unpredictable hooks, perfectly matching the avant-garde sound MEANT is renowned for in it's 15 year label history.

REMAIN, on top of being MEANT RECORDS’ founder and curator, is a well-known Rex Club resident, and has a plethora of releases on labels including Throne of Blood, Darkroom Dubs, and Death On Wax.

daWad was born with music in his blood (pianist mother and his grandfather an organist and harmonizer) and previously co-managed the IRM label which released Traumer’s first records. With releases on KNTRL, La Dame Noir Records, Beachcoma and more, this new release marks his debut on MEANT.

Now ready to unveil their machine-only live show, and to hit the road hard - REMAIN & daWad carefully selected those two tracks from their sessions in order to further orient you to the dancefloor whether you hear it at your local club, or in their live set. LE TURFU IS THE WAY
