PREMIERE: Möd4rn – Reaching Hands

Klubikon — Wed, 21 Sep 2022 07:52:19 +0000

‘Decode Process Inform Decide’ is Möd4rn’s first release since ‘Green Planet Federation’ EP in 2019 and their first LP with all four members: Electric Rescue, Kmyle, Maxime Dangles and Moteka.

“This is a reflection on our current society where everything is just information. Humanity entered the information age at the end of the 20th century, with a recent acceleration due to the development of the Internet and so-called “social networks”. But rather than a liberation, a growth, a calming down, humanity has, on the contrary, become a slave to an overflow of informations, a permanent overdose and a general stupefaction. More than ever, information is manipulated and oriented to serve commercial, political or ideological ends. More than ever the Decode/Inform/Process/Decide mantra must apply.” – Möd4rn

‘Decode Process Inform Decide’ LP consists of 11 techno tracks, ‘Sea of Electrons’, ‘Mechanical Illusions’, ‘Signal Transmission’, ‘Lost Connection’, ‘Archived Data’, ‘Seduction 2.0’, ‘Ai and I together’, ‘Virtual Emotion’, ‘Meta Immersion’, ‘Reaching Hands’ and ‘Human Rhizome’.

We are presenting the 10th track, ‘Reaching Hands’.

‘Decode Process Inform Decide’ LP will be available after the 30th of September HERE.

PREMIERE: Maxime Dangles – Cascades

Klubikon — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 07:19:22 +0000

Maxime Dangles broadens his sound palette with his second album on Skryptöm, ‘Chanfleury’, showcasing a softer sound leaning towards electronica.

12 tracks in ‘Chanfleury’ LP were first created for the stage, in response to a modular live commissioned by the Astropolis Festival in summer 2016 and winter 2017. Maxime Dangles then developed new songs and delivered powerful, intense techno sets. In spring 2017, he signed an electronica version for the program Séquences on Culturebox and Radio France. For this new interpretation, the producer focused on the melodies at the heart of the songs.

Maxime Dangles then rearranged and reworked the compositions to record them and began to imagine a live transposition with two musicians: Thibault Morel on piano and Tommy Rizzitelli on drums. The luminous interventions of the two instrumentalists, initially planned for the live, were finally added to the pieces imagined in solo by the producer with his synths and his machines. It is these final versions that today form the ‘Chanfleury’ album, with compositions that combine the dimension of the live, a narrative force and a sweet intensity.

Chanfleury is the name of a district of Bourg-lès-Valence where Maxime Dangles lived for ten years during his childhood. Each title on the album recalls those years with titles evoking a person (Gigi), cities (Vélizy, Clamart, Fontenay, Châtillon-Montrouge), places (Robinson, Scarron, La Coulée Verte, Cascades, Parc de Sceaux), a newspaper (Pariscope). The producer approaches all these childhood memories with a sweet melancholy in the melodies and an emotional richness in the arrangements and textures of these dreamy compositions. The album ends with L’Oiseau Rose, a song for which Maxime Dangles wrote the melody with his daughter Alice’s ukulele (before transposing this melody to the synth). The children’s universe can also be found in the album cover, specially created by André Bucci, a Brazilian artist living in Italy.

Pop melancholy, intricate arrangements, ingenuity in alternating roaring ardor and calm climates, pianistic dimension, elaborate rhythms, Maxime Dangles develops in his album a dazzling setting in sounds which brings him closer to the worlds of Apparat, Clark, Jon Hopkins or Burial.

With ‘Chanfleury’, Maxime Dangles offers himself an assumed turn towards electronica and offers a sound journey in twelve pieces – and 51 minutes – that he will transpose on stage with the musicians Thibault Morel on piano and Tommy Rizzitelli on drums. This new live show will be available from fall 2021.

We are presenting the seventh track ‘Cascades’.

‘Chanfleury’ LP will be available after the 30th of July HERE.
