MOON (feat. Lux Montes)

I remember finishing the sketch of a track and sending it to my friend Lux Montes, to see if she would have some ideas of vocals that could work with it. The following day (or night), she sent me back some vocals on it, and I remember having goosebumps listening to them: it was perfect! I finished the track during the day (or night) and it became my favorite track on the album.

MISERY
My best friend sent me some cool samples that could work for a track, and among them was the one that I used in Misery. I found that this sample brought something interesting to this powerful and lively track. For the little story: every time I listen to this track, during the big break, I always imagine myself playing at a big festival, on a huge packed stage, and having this tension that rises, rises, and BANG, the drop comes and people get crazy! For the moment this is still only happening in my head, but maybe, probably, hopefully, one day it will happen in "real life" too!

HEAT (feat. Lux Montes)

I called this track "Heat" for two reasons: first, the atmosphere of the track makes me think of the jungle at night, with a warm humidity in the air, and the vocals by Lux Montes bring something mystic, like a "vapor of heat" which takes possession of your body, your soul, and brings you somewhere else. The second reason is that I'm a big fan of the movie "Heat" by Michael Mann, where the night plays a huge role, and this track made me think of it.

KYOTO (cuts by Mr Viktor)
A lot to say about this one! First of all, its name, "Kyoto", is because I had the chance, in 2012, to travel all around Japan for 40 days, and Kyoto was one of my biggest surprises! In this track, you can hear a lot of sounds that I’ve recorded there: for example, the sound at the beginning, which sounds like a train stop, is actually a monk knocking on something during his ritual prayer in a temple! Another example would be the “bip” sound behind my voice (yes…that’s my voice 😅), which is actually a crosswalk alert (for blind people I think). I also loved working with my friend Mr Viktor (multiple DMC World Team Champion) for the scratch part at the end of the track, which brings something surprising and is a reminder of my love for the Hip Hop culture. And last but not least, I'm very happy that my friends at 128db helped me make a great music video (and of course, a big thanks to all the people involved in this great experience).

NEIL MCCAULEY (interlude)

As previously mentioned, I'm a big fan of the movie "Heat”. So when I created this interlude that made me think of a movie soundtrack, I thought that putting some voices from Michael Mann's movie would perfectly fit, and bring an extra dimension to the overall atmosphere. It also reminds me of a track edit from Dj Shadow called "Stem (Cops 'N' Robbers Mix)" which also uses some extracts from this movie. Finally, the title was obvious: "Neil McCauley" is simply the name of the character played by Robert De Niro in the movie.

APOLLO 85
I'm fascinated by the universe and the place that we take inside.
So when I found these free samples from NASA, I thought that it was a good opportunity to do something with them.
I called the track Apollo 85 simply because I was born in 1985 😅

ENCELADE

After listening to "Apollo 85", you should be somewhere up there, and "Encelade" is like if you were in a spaceship, alone in space, and in front of you something amazing happens, something so beautiful, so huge, that you can just open your eyes and smile, without thinking of anything, just letting go, floating until the end of the track.
Oh and "Encelade" is the name of a planet, for real!

Previous track Next track
ELLEBORE
""Ellebore" is the name of a plant that was used to cure madness. In this track, you have a rise that comes and goes, and for some people, it could drive them crazy! But between the rises, you have a deep and minimal atmosphere, like a cure for these.

JRP (feat. Lux Montes)

"JRP" was first named "Japan Rail Pass”, which is the name of the pass that you can buy when you travel to Japan, and with it, you can use their cool trains and subways for free during a specific period of time. I called this track like this because it makes me think of a train, and once again, it's full of Japanese sounds. Lux Montes brings a human dimension and transforms this train ride into a love declaration on movement.

EQUINOX (bonus track)
I made this track a long time ago, when my artist name was "Knuckles", but I thought that it was the perfect track to finish this album and give a last goodbye to my previous project.
