Eugen Grieg-Rezonik (Mellon Place Records)

Arno Gonzalez is producing a modern house sound that sometimes ventures into melodic territory close to Electronica, the Angevin artist was first spotted by the Parisian label Missive, then by Timid Records, on which he released his debut album “Encounters”, as well as a number of EPs and remixes...

Today, he is one of the spearheads and leaders of Brique Rouge, David Duriez's label, with whom he is on a mission to perpetuate and reinvent a certain vision of House and Techno music.

With this second album, which marks “the end of innocence”, Arno explodes the codes of his music to better transcend them. We find his inimitable touch, a particular sound that is sometimes minimal, sometimes warm and melodious, a real signature on 13 tracks that tell a real story.

If this is the end of innocence, it's also the beginning of maturity.




Brique Rouge label is a pillar of the French House underground since 1999.

The label continues to disseminate the electronic sound David Duriez believes in, far from formatting and excessive vulgarity. An eclectic electronic sound that remains rooted in the underground and on vibe above all.  In general, the team's artists benefit from a carte blanche, and it's above all the state of mind that counts. The label isn't looking for success, it's a success. The success of being able to release music without compromise. With one release a week on platforms since 2020, the label (and its divisions RZ Muzik & Obliqu3) is seen as a key player on the French underground electronic scene, given the activism it demonstrates.

Faithful to the spirit of this music's beginnings - Acid House, Chicago and New York House, or the power of Belgian or Detroit Techno - the label has been churning out releases for 25 years without ever sinking into cynicism, nostalgia or parody. Brique Rouge has established itself as a key French label for the distribution of emerging and creative artists (known and unknown) who draw their inspiration from the roots of the genre, but also pursue the search for new vibes. Without commercial imperatives, the label innovates and denies itself nothing. No formatting, no time sacrificed on the altar of the platforms of streaming, with Brique Rouge it's not the face of the human behind the machine that is highlighted, but its music.

KRUNK KULTURE - KK001 - Kaala Khatta - Flavours Of The East

Buy / Stream / Download here: fanlink.to/KaalaKhatta

Established in August 2020, KRUNK KULTURE is a record label from the future by Krunk. This compilation features cutting edge electronic music producers from India and guests from countries like Nepal, Japan & the US. While maintaining its roots in tradition, this collection of work showcases the modern sounds of the region dabbling in styles ranging from house, techno, breaks, electro & leftfield.

FLAVOURS OF THE EAST is a tribute to the integral ingredients that continue to shape the identity and perspectives of our collective homeland. This is an investigation into the memories and markers of a culture that is bursting at the seams with what it has to say.

KAALA KHATTA translating literally into “black sour” indicates the colour and taste of this iconic Indian flavour that is a popular addition to a “gola”, an indian snow-cone, made with a manual ice crusher. A blend of Jamun (java plum) and lemons, it’s characteristic sweetness and tang is imprinted in many a memory.

Founded in 2009, Krunk is one of India's Finest Electronic & Live Music Agency specialising in Events, Festivals, Artist Management & Bookings. More info: www.krunklive.com

West Midlands based selecta @Werdna-Rox, self titled Multi-Genre Blender, shakes up the club at every given moment by seamlessly blending through an everlasting artillery of dark, heavy & beautifully influential music, using diversity in genre's & selection as a key part in making his sets inclusive to the masses.
