Welcome Into My House Vol. 2

Yeah. I felt like I was overdue for a new Tech House mix, but almost as soon as I set out to do one, I felt like I wanted it to be very Housey and not Techy. So, after a few weeks of track research and mix planning, here it is. I decided to make it the second [ READ MORE ]

Through the Past, Darkly

A couple of months ago, I was offered to do an ambient set on my friend Jeff Prémont’s radio show, in Quebec City, but for some reason, things didn’t pan out. Nonetheless, I thought recording an ambient mix was a good idea. While preparing that set I’ve titled Headspace, I decided I also wanted to record another [ READ MORE ]

I was itching and scratching to get a new Cosmix iteration out since my set at Picnik Electronik (which was basically Cosmix vol. 3.5) and the ensuing Cosmix vol. 4, last August.

Must-see: Synth Britannia

Synth Britannia from BrainDance on Vimeo. Documentary following a generation of post-punk musicians who took the synthesiser from the experimental fringes to the centre of the pop stage. In the late 1970s, small pockets of electronic artists including the Human League, Daniel Miller and Cabaret Volatire were inspired by Kraftwerk and JG Ballard and dreamt of the [ READ MORE ]

Spaceful of Astronauts… The lost album from Handful of Snowdrops’ alter ego is out!

In 1993, after the demise of Handful of Snowdrops Jean-Pierre Mercier, writer and composer of the band, began a new journey into instrumental electronic music under the new moniker Spaceful of Astronauts. After a couple of performances in rave events at the beginning of the 90s, he redirected his focus toward a more open and [ READ MORE ]
