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 !

Le Catalyste x Nuits Sonores 2019: Madben (Ellum / Astropolis / Paris) - techno

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 :) !

Le Catalyste x Nuits Sonores 2019: Melody (RA+RE / Paris)- techno

Cette semaine, Le Catalyste et les Nuits Sonores se mettent en cheville à l'approche du festival avec pour invitée MELODY (@melody-9)!
Cette artiste Parisienne fait partie du crew RA+RE Records (Qui se pronnonce "Rare" ;)), un gang de DJ féminin né à New-York et qui fera la clôture de l’édition 2019 tout le dimanche après-midi!

Melody nous livre ici un set frais, léger et très riche, un vrai voyage inter-style, avec des tracks rares et underground comme le revendique la direction artistique du label RA+RE!
Elle casse avec aisance les barrières des styles et passe en finesse de la deep house au breakbeat, atlernant références oldschool, techno décalée et diggeries bien pointues!
Un son parfait pour finir un festival qui s'annonce chargé comme d'habitude !

This is Le Catalyste #100 episode !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With one of My favorite Artist, named *///*// Cursor Miner ! *\\*\\\
This UK artist will come back soon with a new Album release! He has made his own style since the early 2k's with 5 albums from quirky pop songs to dancefloor stormers, which saw him touring around with some crazy costumes and a colourful and degenerated Rave spirit!!
This 1h45 live set he made exclusively for us starts with some modular Drone, grows into lofi dirty electro and squelchy acid techno, then comes back to some abstract beats with mad robot bongos all over the place! It ends with a very long dancefloor killer sequence with some more Beats ! Hope you'll all enjoy this excellent set as I do!!
