Take a breath is a collaboration between Rim Laurens and Nika
This piece in the trip hop movement is a metaphor for these very small important moments in life and which he embraces with joy

TAKE A BREATH

“Les caravanes de l’exil” pays tribute to these men and women who cross the desert towards the sea towards an elsewhere they hope for better.
With its slow, organic and progressive house sound, it traces the dangerous journey of these exiles piled up and hidden in the back of trucks forming endless caravans across borders, deserts and the unscrupulous hands of smugglers.

LES CARAVANES DE L'ÉXIL

Set Rim Laurens and the Blue Code dans l'émission Electro Vision pour Radio Aviva, Guillaume Gardey De Soos live trompette

Dans les morceaux de soul, de jazz ou de funk des années 70/80, Grandmaster Flash cherchait le « Get Down », la loop, la boucle parfaite, infinie, qui permettait ensuite aux rappeurs, véritables sculpteurs de mots, d’improviser.
A l’instar de ce musicien exceptionnel, précurseur du mouvement hip-hop et des techniques de scratch et de remix, Rim Laurens and The Blue Code joue autour du « Get Down ».

Rim Laurens aux platines, sélectionne avec goût des morceaux de trip-hop, de deep house, de jazz ou d’électro, puis structure ces morceaux et fait des boucles en live pour laisser libre cours aux improvisations des sculpteurs de notes : Guillaume Gardey de Soos, membre permanent du collectif de musiciens The Blue Code, crée atmosphères planantes et grooves rythmés à travers trompette, bugle, sourdines et pédale d'effets.

Un univers captivant et entraînant pour un voyage dans la musique électronique en live.
