DJAO "Talking Drum"

Julien Mier played a live set at the Valkhof Festival in Nijmegen including tracks of his recent EP Jane's Junkyard, some brand new remixes and some exclusive previews of his coming album. Looking over the Waal bridge and the setting sun, Julien saw the audience quickly grow from several dozen spectators to over 800 people in front of the stage. It was one of the musical highlights of the seven day festival, where amongst others Shigeto, Cashmere Cat, Tripeo, Kalima and Phacts graced the same stage.

Julien Mier - Valkhof Festival Set

Following three EPs for Musique Large and two albums for Melting Pot Music and rx:tx, Fulgeance returns to his label and home with “Cubes”, an album that is intense but also more personal, bred on funk, electronica and the combination of bass and beats that remains the Frenchman’s most memorable signature.
The album follows the EP triology of Chico, Low Club and Glamoure, each of which was received with interest and positive feedback from not only the press but also the public.
Different thanks to its analogue textures, tempo changes and a real desire to surprise, “Cubes” is, in the words of its maker, “the coming together of a variety of influences at at time where too many things sound the same”.
The nostalgia of “Neverending” and the back to basics of “Stupido” open proceedings, followed by the flurry of “He Knows” and “Velcro” designed to take the listener into the universe of the man once nicknamed “The Little Prince of the Beat” with broken rhythms that still manage to make bodies move. You may find your head nod on “Sheeeeiit” and “Down”, enough to make your neck hurt even. You may find yourself excited by “Chocolat Orange” before enjoying the lyrical volleys of “Whisper” and the flow of DistantStarr on “The Fan”. “Nightwalker” will take you into a hot and smoky night before “Comptine” brings things to an end.
This isn’t just an album of “beat music”. It’s purposefully open, as Fulgeance has always wanted, to touch a larger audience, fans of electronic music but also fans of dance music.
So don’t be shy, put together the “Cubes” to give them a colour, a living texture that will touch, tickle and seduce you

Nocturne ( Remix by ZO aka La Chauve-Souris )

Here is the 7th edition in my USED series.
I said I'd stop at 6, but I couldn't really do that, could I?

As with all the previous volumes, it's 100% original pressings of old tracks sampled in classic Hip Hop tunes, loaded into Serato (to save them getting wrecked and cos many of them are super rare), and then cut up on 2 copies.

Enjoy...

PRESS

"The soundtrack is simply outstanding. Provided entirely by Australian outfit Mind Tree, sweeping echoes of xylophones, glockenspiels, deep bass and electro beats sound as if they are coming out of the environments themselves. This sounds like the score of a Hollywood movie more than a game, and that’s saying something." - pixelsforbreakfast.net

“It’s absolutely gorgeous.” - PCGAMER.com

“Element4l looks a very impressive game that really is quite experimental but I love the way it looks and the design ideas behind the elemental block you change. It really is a truly novel idea.” - Indie Game Magazine
