about
Here we go for a wild ride. Not a fast or violent one, but a wild and unpredicatble, absurd, fun and ... free? Put your fluorescent ski wetsuit, your headphones and dive in.
Some words from the man himself:
"PSSGR stands for "passager", a passenger in french, or maybe the codename for an intergalactic vessel. Onboard this EP for an eclectic journey through future electronic sounds from the past. Follow humanoid cats, snails with superpowers, sci-fi references and mysterious blips and blops with Kroubikou.
Opening the EP, Skiing Recurring Slope lineae is a sci-fi martian dream.
In this scene an anthropomorphic cat is free riding Mars mountains, alone and soothed, in a nostalic retrosynth athomsphere.
The tribal rhythm part blends with the haunting bass line while ski marks appear downhill, only to be interrupted by rising synth leads...a music piece for a surreal freeriding experience.
Our journey have us questioning about this strange name, Kroubikou, but it doesn't mean anything and the eponymous track just lose us a bit more between loads of bells, breakbeats and groovy flute samples.
Listening to "Meow" we look to the horizon and ear funky cat synth growls slowly building a chill house track for future warm ups during sunny sunday morning...in fact we are unsure sunday still exists.
Things gets a darker in "Transferring memories between snails" where we cross the frontier between human drumbreaks and silicon binary beats, we don't know exactly how they work.
To end our exhausting trip under a rain of snappy synths "can't make it without sleep" move us for the last 8 bars before we go back to reality, and open our eyes again.
I hope you had a wonderful travel."
Kroubikou discovered electronic music with sounds from Laurent Garnier, Daft punk, the Chemical brothers, Detroit techno and the french Free party scene from the 2000’s. A bit of djaying at first, and then composing. A first album was made in 2001 with a yamaha groovebox ! Few years later he joined the french trio AlgoRythmiK for a fantastic adventure in breakbeats and samples. Today is another path with new sounds, still at the crossing points of different electronic music genres. Enjoy !

La personnalité de Julien Guillot se scinde à partir de Fluorhydrique EP (enfin, si on exclue ses performances en tant que Repeat Eater ou Julien Guillot lui-même) et sur Madness EP, c'est juste The Junglechrist qui opère. La personnalité de The Junglechrist se scinde dans Madness EP, car le DJ français y fait une sorte de mash-up avec du braindance dans "Madness", de la chiptune dans "PolyG" et du jungle très tendu dans "Waking Up My Girlfriend", le tout teinté de breakcore. Et c'est génial !

Pour un artiste comme Stazma The Junglechrist qui aura passé plus de dix ans à faire en sorte de transformer l'humain en corps dansant par la musique, Shapeshifter — enfin son premier album ! — est un aboutissement. Stazma y capture la pulsion à l'état brut. De la pochette qui transcende âge, sexe, couleur de peau (et qui paraît être sculptée dans ce matériau vivant qu'est le bois) à son breakcore qui, malgré ses sonorités cybernétiques, est fiévreux : on perd la boule et seul le rythme compte !

The Good Times

RA's masterful drum programming absolutely shines in this release. How can something be so frantic while also being so reserved and meticulous? Just a wonderful album from start to finish.

A stunner—dense, richly textured electronic music with songs that crackle like mysterious outer space transmissions.

Producer gonima's mix of ambient textures and glitchy IDM percussion is warm, melodic, and inviting.
