Two years after his debut album under the moniker Aboukir, Ralph Maruani returns with a new record titled “Change”. Fitting title for a record that was written and recorded during a period of great turmoil in his life. The intimacy of these songs are reflected in the music itself. 

Whereas Digital Introversion was floating in a sea of psychedelic infused echoes and reverb, Change is much more stripped down : tracks like 'Rolling On' or 'Last Monday' shows a different side to Aboukir’s music as it opens up to folk/country accents in a 1970s singer-songwriter vibe. But the sound of his first opus can be heardon the 8-minute Floydesque hazy jam "Release", "Awakening" and the upbeat opener "Alright".

The album was recorded between December 2022 and March 2023 in Paris, France almost entirely by Maruani except for the drums which were recorded by Louis McGuire in Berlin, Germany and pedal steel by Reggie Duncan in Mississippi, USA.

Quenum has always operated in his own corner of the minimal world, and his new album marks another subtle artistic shift. Change Time is a ride through cinematic textures and electronic shadows inspired by greats like Massive Attack, Archive and Burial. It was written in London during the quiet of lockdown and distils personal transformation and emotional depth into tunes written with his son Zac, who contributed vocals and instrumentation, as well as longtime collaborator Christophe Calpini. The result is an intimate audio diary with spoken words, melancholic pads and effective grooves that are profound even when sparse. It's a haunting work but comes with a sense of hope and rebirth.

PREMIERE: Quenum – I Still Dream (Rotary Phono Lab)

Quenum 07-11-2025

This year is coming to an end and, despite all that happened in the world, we're amazed to see that the power of music did resist, contributing to relieve the pain as far as possible. Today, we bring you into Noisy, a small city near Paris, where Guillermo Jamas and Jacan had the chance to spin some records during "Mawifamily x La Relève Covid Online Festival" to support and raise funds for all medical staff in France during the pandemic. The festival featured electronic artists and collectives from France and was supported by the local media. On that occasion, the Automatic Writing bosses, which is the home of artists such as Sweely, Charonne, and Gab Jr, had the chance to spin 3+ hours of nasty house and minimal beats, honoring a good cause. Enjoy the moment...
