Le Catalyste Standalone: Arco5 (Arbouse Recordings / Toulouse / France) - IDM

This week is a live IDM session provided by French Artist ARCO5 (@arco5).
As many of IDM/electronica Artists, he was really active and touring a lot in the early 2K's, through various IDM/electronica/experimental events.

He also released a very nice Album on Arbouse Recordings, with other artists like Sink, Inlandsis, melodium, Audioroom... Since then, he continued releasing on his bandcamp, and I'm really happy to have him on Le Catalyste as his work merit some more exposure! 

Bye the way, there is actually a refreshing IDM/Electronica/Braindance wave which will en-light many younger and older talented artists.
Thanks Anthony for this great set !

A l'approche des Nuits Sonores, Le Catalsyte monte en puissance avec Madben, nouveau porte étendard de la scène techno française avec la sortie en 2018 de "Frequence(s)", sur Astropolis Records.
Un album qui a beaucoup fait parlé de lui, si bien que Maceo Plex l'invitera a integrer l'écurie ELLUM pour un très beau maxi sorti en décembre dernier. Ils partageront la scène lors du DAY 3 des Nuits Sonores 2019 avec Jensen Interceptor et Danny Daze.

Il nous livre un set très progressif, efficace de bout en bout, avec un esprit Rave bien ancré, une techno qui résonne, et des mélodies inspirées! Il conclu inévitablement avec quelques classiques vu ses attaches avec le festival breton Astropolis, miroir de l'histoire de la techno! Enjoy :) !
