Behind the name of Courcheval hides Guillaume Cantillon, leader of the Kaolin groupknown in particular for his success “Partons Vite”. With this new project, he returns to the source of his inspiration and the desire to break his codes becomes the priority.
With his sidekick Benjamin Sportes, they then imagine an unreleased soundtrack in the song or French pop made of samples. The lascivious sounds rub shoulders with texts in a sometimes sulphurous French to put themselves at the service of an ambitious, complex, torrid, dancing, joyful work.
Courcheval allows itself everything, from old school US funk drums to a turnery that winks at Brazilian DJs. Whatever the theme, on the text side in French, on the music side, the density of the samples forces you to dive into the telescoping of brassy neo-retro influences. Cuba meets Los Angeles through the strong beats of London clubs.
