pierre bastien is a french legend that has collaborated with artists such as robert wyatt, jac berrocal and jaki liebezeit, to name just a few. he is also very well known for his compositions based on home-made mechanical instruments, designed and constructed by bastien himself. pure diy. using these instruments he would create a heady experimental mix incorporating poetry and some far-out music, all in all very intriguing and original indeed. needless to say when the notion of pierre bastien and versatile records potentially making a project together arose, it was a total honour! throw into the mix esteemed electro-acoustic composer eddie ladoire and now we ve really got something interesting. eddie and pierre met when they appeared on the same concert bill together and they decided to collaborate further with versatile being the platform for the fruits of this particular project. the original version of phantom dance is a beautiful piece where bastien plays a trumpet into some water blended with electronic drums and mellow organs lines, creating an otherworldly, subterranean jazz vibe for the freaks. suzanne kraft, the la native / amsterdam based producer turns the original into some mechanical broken funk vibes while rotterdam s oceanic delivers 2 fresh, reimagined versions. one for for the club with a strong afro beat feel while the other one is a slower affair for the after hours. both mixes bringing something new to the table. a truly original and interesting release from some very talented people, for those with open ears and open minds!

aprons protege is back at it with tracks that will fit perfectly with dancefloors and living rooms. you d better check this one!

22.02.85 is the new album from bastien keb. initially conceived as a concept album about a stripper lost in the city (like a straight-to-video follow up to showgirls), 22.02.85 has a distinctly nocturnal edge to it. the city at night, lost in a crowd, abandoned petrol stations, empty kebab shops, broken florescent lights. like a half-forgotten dream, familiar yet unnerving. he says all the songs are all about girls apart from two about a big lug. you may catch a phrase here and there but the context is all in the feel: there s a melancholy edge, but i don t wanna depress people. sad but hopeful? if that s possible.

after his first solo ep on funkinevens apron imprint bastien carrara is back on rawthenticity for a solo ep! gritty & emotional filtered sample based tracks made on his mpc 2000xl in his basement!

new apron artist bastien carrara, parisian bad boy beats the hell out of his mpc & records onto tape..

french composer and multi-instrumentalist pierre bastien delivers the latest entry into morphines increasingly diverse catalog. active for over four decades, bastien is best known for building automated orchestras, and his most recent lp, machinations, was released on aphex twin s rephlex label in 2012.
for this latest work, bastien recycled components of his silent motors live set and assembled new mechanical organisms—using amplified meccano parts, motors, fans, rattles, paper, and nails—to generate rhythmic scaffolding. live instrumentals, from prepared trumpets to the african kundi harp, javanese rabab, sanza, electric harpsichord, bass, drums, and gongs, were then superimposed on top.

last year fulbert & bastien released a very limited cassette including unreleased tracks and more experimental works, this has been sought after and a sampler of it is now available on vinyl. tracks differ slightly from their original cassette version but the atmosphere is the same: that deep and dark feeling of that cold october evening when they compiled all the tracks. at bastiens studio, rue du mont cenis, in montmartre. strictly limited to 300 copies

mile high records comes up with a first various artists release including janeret, fabe, supertape and bastien carrara. specially designed for sweaty dancefloors, this versatile 4 track compilation treats differents apects of house music. from deep and spacy cuts to smashing 90s groove.

vinyl only - played already by moodymann !!!!!!!!
once again showing their appreciation for forward-thinking music and supporting think-outside-the-box sounds, the latest ep on hold youth opens up the boundaries of electronic music and offers something more. the opening track sample n 909 has been injected with pure funk and sets the scene for the rest of the release, which maintains that groove throughout. well selected vocals can be found in the soulful harmonising of those voices or the smooth-speaking that makes rainbow slices the most mellow of the package. ending the b side with no more pretty, a joint stripped down to essential kick and high hats, you can feel the full strength of the funk once again as the jazzy keys enter… s3a is a breakthrough dj/producer from paris and resident of the illustrious concrete parties.

incl. kiko remix!

a1_relaxx, bastien grine is back on scandium with a huge raw and dark ep. relaxx is a mind blowing microtech track with non sense vocals. b1_single barrel attitude. the b side is a darker and even more mental track using weird distorted vocal. thats what french call >le son de la perche<. minimalism at its best!

on the a side, step back is an ultra fat minimal tune with both old school housy sounds and strong techno beat. the dark male vocal repeating step back won t leave your head for hours. on the flip side, bastien grine goes deeper on a mental trip. a fat bass line surrounded by clear floating sounds. he plays with stereo effects and we loose our mind … pure madness

nice price deal !!! raw and moody analogue mixture between house and techno. next amazing handstamped ab initio by sebasten san.

nice price deal !!! no frills, just thrills. sebastien san is back on his own ab initio imprint. time does fly when you are having fun, so this is already the sixth release of the series. and there is no hostages being taken here, because what you get is three straight bangers for darker and deeper dance floors, with that trademark sebastien san jack always keeping your feet and ears busy. >adrastea< kicks things off dark and dubby, churning away in devastating fashion for a full 12 minutes. one can easily imagine djs destroying berghain with this one. flipping over to the b-side we first find >120 bpm<, a track rooted in oldskool chicago jack with a healthy dose of claps and flangers that will be very hard to resist. closing the e.p. is >arp madness ii<, a very worthy follow-up of >arp madness<, which was a standout track on ab initio 02. intricate and devastatingly effective dance floor music.

nice price deal !!! its safe to stay that with every release on ab initio sebastien san raises the bar, and we can only hope more will follow! the first two releases on sebastien sans ab initio imprint have turned quite a few heads in the direction of the frenchmans sound universe. started as an outlet for his own productions ab initio is home to some of the finest work sebastien has put on vinyl in recent years. director to his own special style sebastien always succeeds in pleasing both house and techno lovers with pristine production and detroit-like sounds that are very much his own. the first two releases on sebastien sans ab initio imprint have turned quite a few heads in the direction of the frenchmans sound universe. started as an outlet for his own productions ab initio is home to some of the finest work sebastien has put on vinyl in recent years. director to his own special style sebastien always succeeds in pleasing both house and techno lovers with pristine production and detroit-like sounds that are very much his own.
