@janloup & @maquissonsistem

It is autumn 2022, Alice and Stefan, also known under the artist names Jan Loup and Maquis Son Sítsom, went from Toulouse on a  tour of Europe. We were lucky and ran into them along the way. We spent some nice time together in Prague and Brno and recorded next part to Transcendanz series. Then the earth collapsed after them, but they promised that they would return one day. We will wait with hope.

Jan Loup’s territories of exploration are split in several directions. Sometimes on her show Mana-Machine (LYL Radio) and with her collective “Aïra”, she visits ambient sounds, soothing pads and organic glitches, depicting fantasy mental landscapes, at the crossroads of dreams and consciousness. Sometimes in her own music production and during more festive times, she seeks to transcend emotion through more intense rhythmic mixtures, filled with saturated drums and its distortions. She conceive her dj-set like rituals, associating track by image and texture affinity, always in this desir of expressing or liberating the emotions as well by listening as through dancing. In her univers the party time is lived as ceremony attempt, a rite to escapde from capitalism and the prison of the ego, to find back the sens of self and the connexion to others, rediscover our wildeness, with or without success.

Maquis Son Sistèm
~ dedicated to these celebrated areas, interstices forgotten by our peers where we engage to form and re-form spaces of collective trance ~

Maquis Son Sistèm is a musical project and alias of Stefan Dubs that expresses itself through the records of the eponymous label, a show on LYL radio ‘Le Son du Maquis’, and his live dub project which consists of live re-interpretations of his songs using the multipist as instrument but also sound effects and dub sirens.. using both the traditional techniques of the studio dub version and those of the mix session.

A new kind of event has just arrived in the city. Transcendanz is a carefully curated party that has a main purpose of gathering people together and creating a wholesome experience. Made by people who love night life, and want to explore what is beyond...

To celebrate Grid 2nd anniversary, we gathered together thirteen earth-shattering tracks from the bass scene’s most promising creators, all aimed to move you in the most primordial way. Evoking images of vast landscapes and deep underground catacombs.

This compilation takes the listener deep into the earth with twisted percussion workouts from the likes of Jabes, Piezo, Ronan and Sister Zo… and back into the light with serene compositions from E-unity, Tammo Hesselink and A Psychic Yes, whilst Jay Duncan, Basile3 y Clara!, Jonny From Space, Flaty, Seekersinternational, and blu-e join the dots with their genre-defying creations.

As was the case with Grid’s previous compilations 'Improvisations' and 'Da Capo Al Coda', the label once again puts its stamp on a moment in the underground by collecting together productions of the highest quality that push the boundaries but undeniably make you want to move.

incredibly honored to have been invited to contribute a piece of music for the new @companionmelb compilation.

this one is called ‘metanoia’ which essentially means the change in one’s life after a profound mystical experience. my intention with the music is for those moments of depth where your heart and mind have been opened and you feel raw and vulnerable and the music is just holding you there, reassuring that you’re experience is valid and you are seen by the universe, by the earth and by your fellow humans.

thanks to @pjenne and @milluu for including me in this amazing body of work and to all the other artists involved.

bless,

2023 marks the expansion of traverse as a label, with the first volume of series “traversée” and an 11-track opus from Qetsy. We’re now back with the second edition of traversée - a space for producers to explore their own versatility. A border-free home for artists to share personal ideas, wherever they are from. 

For this second volume, we are welcoming nine artists who, altogether, shape the vision of traverse through its diversity of music and places. 

Laenz: "For this track, somewhere during a hot bike ride, I felt compelled to make something punk-adjacent. I used to make a lot of guitar-driven music and haven’t picked it up in a while, so it was nice to play it for this tune. I suppose the track still leans on the more experimental side, but I think the angst of a punk-like demeanor still comes through in the track."

Additional sampling from drums recorded by Naman Agarwal

Zohar (28/10/23)

Release date : February 16th
Pre-order : gridrecords.bandcamp.com/album/contrast-ep

Grid kick off 2024 with Contrast EP, a mesmerising collection of future-facing tracks from certified one-to-watch Plebeian (@plebeiann). The NYC producer is quickly garnering deserved attention for his acutely detailed and explorative bass productions reminiscent of Objekt and Djrum.

With his EP Plebeian offers up four shimmering and lush dance organisms that exist in an ecosystem entirely of their own. Microscopic drum engineering coupled with flourishes of dubbed out percussion, moments of blissful beauty and infinitely oscillating synth swells, all distilled to create 4D soundscapes that will captivate and intrigue the listener.
