AMOUR PROPRE LINK UP WITH ORSAY FOR 'FALLING' ON KITSUNÉ MUSIQUE

"Falling" was born from the meeting of two French artists, Amour Propre and Orsay. A hybrid track, shaped by their respective influences and creative worlds, with a shared goal, to craft something timeless.

Amour Propre has emerged this year as one of the most distinctive projects on the French electronic scene. Backed by Solomun with a release on Diynamic, and by RÜFÜS DU SOL with an EP on their Rose Avenue imprint, the duo is building a sound that blends organic textures, club energy, and emotional depth.

Meanwhile, Orsay has been developing a bold and forward-thinking sonic identity. Signed to Adriatique’s label and preparing collaborations with WhoMadeWho and Carlita, he is establishing himself at the intersection of the underground and the international scene.

Falling stands at the crossroads of these two paths, a track made for the club, fully embracing its codes while maintaining a unique artistic imprint.

ZEBBLER ENCANTI EXPERIENCE RELEASE DEBUT OPHELIA ALBUM

Data Séance is the 7th album by audio/visual duo Zebbler Encanti Experience (ZEE). This album represents the A/V duo’s descent into their most ambitious material to date: exposing the hidden depths of deconstructed glitch-bass music that can only be conjured through an algorithmic communion with data.

To produce the sounds of Data Séance, Encanti captured the likeness of ZEE in several neural networks, trained to generate infinite variations of ZEE music. Some neural networks were trained “wrong” on purpose to generate colorful variations, and some sounds were fed back into other neural networks. All told, over 20

hours of neural audio was generated to be sampled for this record, in what might become known as perhaps one of the earliest examples of a bass music producer using custom AI to create a sonic mirror.

ZEE’s approach to using AI-generated media celebrates the artifacts of the medium, drawing upon the obscure glitches and uncanny ghosts in the hallucinations to reveal hidden structures in the data and processes themselves, while blurring the lines between what is and is not real. Through this practice, Data Séance aspires to summon apparitions from a space that lies beyond the algorithms, drawing into question the very nature of perception in the face of openly artificial realities.

Zebbler Encanti Experience, commonly referred to as ZEE, represents the synergetic amalgamation of two ingenious talents - Peter 'Zebbler' Berdovsky and Ben 'Encanti' Cantil. This dynamic duo has managed to transcend the boundaries of art, music, and technology to craft multisensory experiences that captivate and inspire.

Since their debut album Psychic Projections in 2012, ZEE has released music on Gravitas Recordings and Wakaan Records, while collaborating with seminal artists such as Mr. Bill, Of The Trees, and Woulg. During the pandemic, the duo released their first fully audio-visual LP Syncorswim, which was a departure from their usual heavy sound. ZEE is on track to release their next bass music album Data Séance in 2024, featuring heavily glitched audio/visual elements that are manipulated through AI technologies.

Zebbler is a visionary video artist and VJ who transforms live shows and installations into immersive psychedelic experiences. He is the founder of Zebbler Studios and the creator of the Shpongletron, a 3-D video mapped stage that helped revolutionize the concert industry. Zebbler is also a professor at Berklee College of Music, where he teaches live video performance courses. He is renowned for his work on designing stages for Envision Festival in Costa Rica, one of the most eco-friendly and socially conscious festivals in the world, and for collaborating with DEF CON, the world’s largest hacker convention, where he showcases his company’s video mapped and interactive sculptures.

Encanti is a maestro of the sonic realms. His sound seamlessly melds diverse genres, from global bass rhythms to intricate glitch-hop, presenting a dynamic aural journey that both challenges and captivates the listener. However, beyond the beats and tempos, what sets Encanti apart is his deep-seated knowledge of the science behind the sound. Renowned globally as an electronic music production educator, Encanti's expertise has illuminated the paths for numerous budding producers. Additionally, his innovative spirit is evident as the co-founder of DataMind Audio, a trailblazing company specializing in AI-powered audio plugins.

Together, as ZEE, the duo has embarked on a journey to weave a tapestry of sight and sound. They create electrifying performances that blur the line between the audience and performer, the real and the digital.

Their audio-visual shows are not merely concerts; they're portals into alternate dimensions of creativity and imagination.

Beyond their performance, ZEE is dedicated to fostering the next generation of artists. They conduct workshops, tutorials, and masterclasses, sharing their profound knowledge in music production, visual arts, and the intersection of the two.

OXIA RELEASES THIRD STUDIO ALBUM AELLE

Out now on Diversions Music, the twelve-track LP is a rich exploration of groove, melody and emotion from one of France’s most influential electronic voices

French DJ and producer OXIA, a leading figure in the international electronic music scene, releases his long-awaited third studio album Aelle, out now via Diversions Music.

Following this year’s acclaimed singles Presence and Colors of Life, as well as the upcoming Silk & Fur (out September 19), Aelle is a masterfully woven collection of tracks that balances the intensity of the dance floor with the intimacy of personal listening. Across twelve tracks, OXIA crafts an evocative sonic palette where melodies and grooves intertwine with moments of emotion, elegance and timeless beauty.

Speaking about the upcoming album, OXIA commented:

“As with my previous albums, I let my creativity run free once again, without setting limits. I wanted to bring together everything I love about electronic music – groove, melodies, emotion, intensity – and blend them with calmer, more reflective tracks”.

Aelle also highlights OXIA’s collaborative spirit, featuring contributions from long-time friends and creative partners. Faces sees him reunite with label co-founder Nicolas Masseyeff, while Silk & Fur and On The Trip see him team up with Yannick Baudino. The album also welcomes compelling vocal performances from Hen Wen (Calling The Sun) and Hacène (Silk & Fur).

Musically, the record flows through a rich spectrum: melodic, groove-driven tracks (Nuance, Faces), ethereal pieces laced with emotion (Calling the Sun, Saisons) and moments of deep, poignant melancholy (Aerial). The title track Aelle and songs like A Special Day and Run underline OXIA’s ability to move effortlessly between the club and the heart, creating music with enduring resonance.

With Aelle, OXIA reaffirms his place at the forefront of electronic music, offering an album that is as captivating on the dance floor as it is profound in personal reflection.
