Sentakasts

Arpège head honchos are joining the Sentakast series. 
We met each other a few years back in Nantes and got along so well that we've been enjoying annual gatherings ever since! 
Unfortunately, this year has been challenging for all of us, but we are proud to present you this drum & bass infused recoding, proper UK style! Big thanks to our two brothers for putting us in this awesome mood!

@botch-546294028 was first influenced by landmark french electronic groups of the 2000s such as Justice and Daft Punk. His electronic music education took place later on in the East quarters of London where he now lives. He has nurtured a true love for the underground house and techno spending his weekends between the dance floors of Fold, Fabric and 9294, or on boat raves along the Hackney waters. Collectives such as Phonoteque or Cartulis - just to name a few - were a turning point for him, and naturally turned him into a wax passionate and an avid collector. This mix is the fruit of this journey and what he hopes to be a first step of a longer, complex and unexpected path.

22nd episode is a blessing from our fellow Sick Seek. 
We met around 2 years ago and instantly clicked, we even had the chance to book him for one of our Choice venture. 
His origins come from a tireless quest that delves deep into the expansive sphere of electronic music, searching without constraints or genre restrictions for the perfect soundscape for every context and situation. 
A vinyl enthusiast and aficionado, Sick Seek effortlessly transitions between the darkest, most psychedelic beats of techno and the most romantic, sentimental expressions of house and disco music.

This recording is an ode to Raul, his forever four-legged traveling companion who tragically passed away last week <3

We met Dizzy over the summer in the mighty festival of Litoranea Festival in Sicily. We started talking and exchanged on non-dancefloor music and great album that inspired us and we clicked instantly. 
She is a Milan-based artist and food engineer from Florence on the roster of the new Tenax generation. She approached ambient & downtempo music in 2018 by creating meticulous playlists and musical selections for herself to listen while painting. When talking about her music, she refers to herself more like a selector than a DJ, with hybrid sonorities difficult to categorize into a single genre or style, but characterized by influences ranging from trip-hop, dub, to synth-wave and electro. The sets are often identified by an unstoppable crescendo, plenty to explore in the winsome, melodic, laidback feeling of her selections.

LIVE RECORDING OF THE INSTORE SESSIONS DURING THE 7 YEARS CELEBRATION OF FLIPPIN' RECORDS.

CREVETTE RECORDS - 2023 BRUSSELS

EVAN BAGGS - 7 YEAR CREVETTE INSTORE

If you have received a record from our UK-office over the past two years then there is a 95% chance that it was sent to you by Jamie, aka Jiminy Watts.

I’ve been on to him about getting a mix together for a while now so am pleased to say that he has delivered in style on this one.

Jamie effortlessly takes us on a trip through many spaces in this 1hr mix and proves that he is as good at finding his own records as he is at finding yours.

A few words from Mr. Watts himself: “In terms of the tune selection in this mix, I wanted to try and strike a balance between the Ba Dum Tish sound and my own sound. I hope I have accomplished this but I will let you be the judge of that.”

I thoroughly enjoyed this mix whilst driving from Berlin to London when moving house and I hope you enjoy it too.

JL has been active on the Parisian scene for over a decade whether with his very first collective Micro_Wave in 2012, with Reshuffle Music, and more recently with his label Momo's Basement. Over the years, he has had the opportunity to share his music from Paris to London, Switzerland, Brazil and many other places

We can't really recall the moment we exactly met but we can recall the good memories shared during parties and today it's this mesmerizing vibe that we are feeling through this recording.

Our 6th podcast is the brainchild of our co-founder, Helios Mac Garry. The Paris-based DJ delivers just over an hour of introspective and club-oriented music. As always, he oscillates from percussive rhythms to acid lines, with his characteristic dark and gripping mood.

Enjoy the trip!

Music to our ears Sentaku 25th installment has finally landed!

Known as a serious digger and a sincere collector, Chae exhibits her selection of records that span the 90s and modern times. 

As her sound embraces various genres and styles, it is loved by many fans for the rich flavors - and those mixed delicately, a luscious set gets delivered with a slight pungency. 

Going versatile, Chae works - or plays - as a resident DJ and as a hosting member of the promising party crew Antidote.

This mix is an ode to Oh-Ya who passed away, leaving behind a trail of shooting stars in our hearts, forever illuminating the skies with her spirit and warmth.

Lorenzo Aribone - Timeless Series #43

Almost 4 years to the day, our Breathecast crawled forth from the primordial soup, and since its miraculous conception, it has provided us with 23 splendid audio recordings from artists across the globe. 

Today it continues to give, with its 24th mixtape coming from French crate digger, Laure. Her mixing prowess and penchant for niche and rare sonicisms has established her as a revered DJ in the ears of those who know. She also recently set up a label, Pitched Peach, with the first release coming soon from Darwin Chamber.

Allez, this one’s a real peach 🍑

It’s after sharing the decks for many years and refining their shared taste in music that Josh Rawl and Massaï decided to form their own collective and record label: Sentaku. The journey started with an encounter that promptly reached an equilibrium: the story of two friends representing Ying and Yang, advocating two opposing forces able to reach a sense of balance when united. Meaning “selection” in Japanese, Sentaku was born in 2016 and has since aimed to develop its own personal imprint on the electronic music world through its distinctive aesthetic. More than a musical journey, the label also promotes a visual platform to be lived as an experience, with the help of graphic designer and animator JXQ.  

By building this collective, the founding duo wants to showcase the skills and productions of the new talents they encounter along their musical journey. Above all, Sentaku is a family, a creative community striving for diversity, quality and innovation.
