Bon Voyage is an ever-shifting constellation of musicians led by Paris-based producer and bass player Adrien Durand. Durand was first spotted in 2009 by Jamal Moss, boss of renowned Chicago label Mathematics Recordings, which released Durand s solo effort (Impersonnel Naviguant) under the moniker Les Aéroplanes. That first record, done using a very academic house music setup consisting of an eight-track cassette recorder, a drum machine, a cheap analog synthesiser and an even cheaper sampler, caught the attention of such DJ s as Beautiful Swimmer and Toby Tobias. For his Bon Voyage project, Durand recruited drummer Nicolas Ballay and keyboard player/engineer Maxime Kosinetz. While opening for legendary Italian DJ Daniele Baldelli, the band caught the attention of Chicken Lips s Steve Kotey, who released Bon Voyage s first two records (Sorciers des Aéroports, L Imposture) on STENDEC, a new imprint created for the occasion
