I:Cube (live with machines) at Lente Kabinet Festival 2023

PasoGrande 205 Caravan

I:Cube live au Forum des Halles, Paris, 18 Mai 2019.

A few words by I:Cube. 
I've always been collecting records—for the pure essence of music, of course, as a sound source for sampling, for my DJ sets in various clubs, and, not to forget, for the weird and captivating album covers.
During my teenage years, I had a unique Saturday tradition. I would explore Parisian public libraries in search of unknown records to feed my sampler. 
Records were expensive, and without the internet, apart from the radio, this was my way of discovering new music and refining my musical taste.

Fast forward more than three decades, a serendipitous encounter took place with Damien Poncet, a cultural mediator who works at the Médiathèque Musicale de Paris. This remarkable institution boasts an impressive collection of over 100,000 records. 
Following an extensive conversation, a captivating idea emerged: to craft a musical composition using samples from this vast vinyl archive. 
The grand stage selected for this daring concert? None other than the iconic Forum des Halles, located in the heart of a historic Parisian district. Once renowned as Paris' largest food market, bearing the moniker "le ventre de Paris," the Forum des Halles underwent a transformation into a massive shopping center in the early 1980s. 

Performing this diverse and otherworldly musical blend live at the very core of this consumer paradise was also an immense source of enjoyment and highly surreal.
The concert was open to all, inviting anyone passing by to join in and listen.
This project was a golden opportunity to pay tribute to Paris's public libraries in a place rich with history and full of personal memories.

Many thanks to Damien Poncet and the entire team at the Médiathèque Musicale de Paris. Additionally, I want to express my gratitude to Géraldine Hervé-Dannhauer, Mehdi Herzberg, Stéphane Laporte, Patrick Santos, and all the students from the Ecole Estienne in Paris, who contributed to the visual performance inspired by a selection of record covers during the show.
Music written, produced and performed by Nicolas Chaix.

Versatile records.

FOCUS on DJ ROCCA / AJELLO mixed by K.Rise  Brussels May 2024 - Studio32

Fourteen years ago DCSIS, the founder and showrunner of SOULMEEX, led another mix series named Digitanalogico that only lasted 3 episodes, unfortunately. A different time for streaming and music in general, but the concept was exactly the same than these days: just sharing good music, no matter where it comes from. It premiered on April, 5th 2010 with Ivan Smoka, a regular of Madrid club scene since the late nineties. You’re about to enjoy a meex that, just like the good wine, aged incredibly fine.

Moonlight Night Set

These were the sacrifices which had to be made, at times the best way forward was to compromise and break bread. This was all for peace.

As the sun began to set over the bay, they shared a glance, knowingly at one another. It were as if they knew that they might not see each other again for some time. This would be the last handshake for a little while.

There was an eerie sense of quiet across the island. The world watching and waiting for what was to happen next.

French electronic pioneer I:Cube is invited to remix MIND on a new EP. His remix is atmospheric and packed with elegant arpeggios and driving melodies which dance atop rugged bass driven percussion throughout.

I only want people to hear my music. Just that, no more.

Not everyone understand house music its a spiritual thing a body thing a soul thing.

Klaus Benedek grew up in a small town near Vienna. His interest in electronic music began during the 90s techno hype. He spent hours watching video clips on MTV and viva and thus gaining knowledge about electronic music. In 2004, he began teaching himself to produce. Gathering his inspiration wherever he could, he began collecting 12" vinyl records the same year and 2 years later got his first dj-gigs. From 2008 till 2010 he was one of the resident DJs at the MNML Thursdays in the Camera Club. In 2012 he started with Alex Kolodziej the event-series Tellerbetrieb. Currently he finds most of his inspiration in Chicago House, Deep House, Disco and Breakbeat. After releases on labels like Petrol Dollar, Subversaal, rekooda, Soul Shift Music, Clean and Dirty Recordings and tanzbar, Klaus launched his own label forTunea in 2014.
