S8jfou (pronounce “suis-je fou” in french wich means “Am I crazy?") is a young French producer of electronic music. Chosen as a reference to the cynical philosophy, “Cynism” is the second album to come out of S8jfou’s creative mind, this time on Rennes’s imprint Parapente Music. This new record mixes skillfully UK Garage, IDM, Jungle influences, ambient music, ; and scrolls like a dream trying to escape, leaving through its melodies a message to the eternal children… “Cynism” is an self-produced album in a remote hut in the French Alps. In order to fully live his music and to produce it, S8jfou needed to be isolate in a self-built house in the mountains, far from noises and judgments. His electronic compositions are thus freer. Since 2016, he has gained in popularity among the young producers who love analog sounds and sound synthesis in France. The more alone he is, the more accomplished his albums become : “I discovered how to let go when one is completely alone, to live a trance-like experience when one composes, he says. By living there, I realized we don’t need anything to live. I make fire in the wood stove for heating but also for cooking, I go shopping once a month, a three hours walk away… The rest of the time I create.[info sheet from distr.]
