"8 months ago, I released my first EP with YUKU.

Nomäa was intended to be hard-hitting, and was experienced as a daily outlet, both live and digital. Däarm continues an inner journey with new influences, deep and cathartic bass that will bring you back to your primal instincts.

I'm always carried by Afro/Arabic influenced percussion, it's my own style and it's going to follow me for a while. This kind of rhythm inspires me a lot, there's no doubt about it: it's like feeling each instrument through all the bodies, which are just moving.

A more ambient and low-key feel for Däarm came to me.
Nomäa was an opportunity to evolve and develop my drums. After that, it was natural for me to return to this more "melodic" side, more musical in a way. Some synths appear and I'm happy that this other part of me has emerged and merged with the percussive/groovy side of my tracks.
The bass is also more present. I wanted this time, that people make faces when listening to this new EP, the ones we make when it's too heavy inside and that it shows on the face (cfr "Vuil").

I had the idea to separate "Donker Dag" in two parts: the first one in Nomäa, and the second one here. During a live show I had transitioned Donker Dag with an old track "Az5". This transition seemed so obvious to me that I decided to make a second version, and I like the idea of two EP's finally being intertwined.

With Däarm we are still walking along this line, other new things just came on it."

"For my fourth EP (my first on YUKU), I was heavily inspired by "furtives" — polymorphous urban creatures that metabolize everything they touch, from Alain Damasio's science-fiction novel named "Les Furtifs". As a big reader, I love trying to create bridges between music and literature. My passions are music and languages. Through my music, I aim to create universes while questioning textures, traditional rhythms, and the boundaries of club music. Through languages, I tend to understand Alterity and perspectives of others on our world.

I'm trying my best for my productions being risky and surprising, touching on different styles, cultures, and languages, while connecting percussion, warm sounds, and exploration. My goal is always to reach polyglottism, joy and dialogue.

With "Vuvuzela", a track wrapped in a 'hard drum' beat celebrating the nightlife in the city, I highlighted rhythm. Through a work on different sounds like triangle, glass, birds whistle and a deep bass, I wanted to illustrate a night walk as if I could both fly and crawl quickly in the streets, walls, undergrounds. "Whatcha Gonna Do" is a grime-y collaboration with my friend and artist Goldie B, and it wanders in a secret, and oriental universe. Her voices reminds me of witch, questioning your soul and caring with mysterious brew - elements that I found as well in the sample of Arabic women voices in the instrumental. The last track, "On Wheel", is enriched with the participation of percussionist Cyril Atef — it's a call for dancing and club enthusiasm with a UK funky feeling : I worked with this fabulous drummer before, and every time it's a fantastic explosion of solar energy."

Counting from one to ten is one of the first things we learn when we try to speak a new language. It's also a universal language we use in our beats. Numbers are the inspiration source of this album, and its roots are in the inherent rhythmical existence of numbers in music. There is a numerical theme in all the tracks. Every number matches with different grooves and rhythms, and it all comes together around a single “groove pallet”.
