We continue our podcast love affair with French artists with another rising star in Nemo Vachez. If you have been paying attention this week you will have noticed that we have been showing some serious love to Nemo and rightly so. His debut album has just dropped on his co-ran buy on sight imprint Forest Ill Records and true to form it manages to shoe horn in a wide swathe of genres across the 4 x 12” LP. From chunky electro, low slung beats, nasty riddims, and our recent premiere “Hey DJ (Radio Mix)” which squeezes in a mind bending amount of samples into its run time. 

There is also the label itself, founded by Idris Bena, Nadir Sanchez, Steve Didion, and of course Nemo Vachez has been a constant source of fire. Nemo is more than just the co-owner of a really great label, he regularly drops slabs of science on labels such as Rakya Records, Opia, and Lowmoneymusiclove. These skills just happen to transfer nicely into the DJ booth and this takes the Parisian artist far and wide.

Moving onto the mix, and after a sultry lead in, the disco pressure is applied at just the right level. Cowbells, piano licks, deep probing basslines, all have their space at the controls of Nemo Vachez. As you might expect, there is a huge amount of musical content transferred into Vachez’s mix, but it never feels over-saturated or too busy. Just when the energy levels peak, Nemo pulls it back and slaps a funky bassline down and a new avenue opens up..

Happy New Year, you dirty little rascals. We are honoured to open 2025 with a special sequel in the Reptilian Mixes Saga: the very first recording of @atawel's live act.

Since the release of his Colors EP on 129 rec, our boi Raph has been fine-tuning his long-awaited live debut. The reptile farmer performed across multiple venues in Europe, with recent highlights ranging from the upper deck of our favourite Berlin boat, to deep in the ravy woods of the Cévennes. 

Take the middle row seat, grab your pop corn (sweet and salty), and don't skip the trailers. 

No director's cut but you can now listen to 192R-002 endlessly on your favourite streaming platform, and grab it digitally here: https://192rec.bandcamp.com/album/192r-002

Let’s gong 2025: Baby Please, One More Conversation.

Atawël - Reptilian (Live) Mix 13

Very grateful to present this first radio show of the year as well as the very first podcast format by Quenteckk ❣️

Here, Quentin offers a genuinely personal take on the task to deliver an emotional mix of wisely selected minimal and tech-house tracks with some deep influences. 

You may know him for beating at the very heart of miskine booking but according to some inside information @quenteckk is also intimately known for his misunderstood prior fashion attempts and his current stylish ones 📰

The whole team here extends their most beautiful wishes for the new year to you all, and we couldn’t have dreamt of a better way to do so ✨

RECORDING LCDO 002 - Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange - live experience.

A look back at the ambient live set of Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, recorded live at Le Chant des Oiseaux in September 2024.
A moment that resonated in a unique way for all the birds who gathered that night.

Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange is a musical project led by drummer & composer Ziggy Zeitgeist. Whether sitting or lying on the dancefloor of the Nidoaso stage, we witnessed a true musical upheaval, blending atmospheric jazz, broken beat, and fluid percussion, all within a chill-out ambiance…

Stretched out at the edges of the stage, some celestial souls could simultaneously admire the starry Cévennes sky, beautifully illustrating the rich sonic textures unfolding that night. It was a sensory & hypnotic journey, inviting gentle introspection, within a sort of collective contemplative trance.

A huge thank you to Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange.
