GERARD DELAHAYE – Garden of Eden

Gérard Delahaye has been singing since the early 1970s. Over the years, his song has intertwined the influences of French song, rock, folk, Breton and Celtic tradition. He seeks to insert text and melody into a large musical landscape which he describes as the “decor” of the action. There are many songs in which he tells a story, in the great tradition of Breton gwerz (Gao’s guitar, for example). On the visual, his Garden of Eden is sprinkled with a blood-red rain: an image of our time. It’s an album that swings between two poles, sweetness and violence.

THE CELTIC SOCIAL CLUB – DANCING OR DYING?

THE CELTIC SOCIAL CLUB A hell of a dose of rock in the tradition! About In eight years of existence, THE CELTIC SOCIAL CLUB has managed to impose a sound, a style and a name. With two live and four studio albums on the clock today, criss-crossing stages, festivals, studios and continents, the seven Franco-Irish never stop refining their daring and elegant reading of the tradition of Celtic music, shaken to great shots of rock energy, pop melody and folk magic. Quite a journey for this group which was to be only a one-shot in creation at the Vieilles Charrues festival, in July 2014… The energy, the desire and the freshness will therefore have been the strongest for this meeting of adventurers, gathered around a name, THE CELTIC SOCIAL CLUB, and a simple artistic programme: advancing traditional “Celtic” music (Brittany, Ireland, Scotland, Asturia) by blending it with rock, pop, folk and groove. Organized like a stage commando, the group played a lot in Europe, flew to Asia, then the United States, including an emblematic date in Central Park, New York. Then embarks on the conquest of the United Kingdom, yet little inclined to indulgence with the “Frenchy” groups. If the Pogues and the Clash have often been quoted to try to sum up this energetic and ambitious musical “mash-up”, the group has gradually found its marks and its stability, to the point of making references and comparisons obsolete today. . With their fourth album, DANCING OR DYING?, (Released October 8, 2021) still backed by the exceptional voice of their Irish singer, Dan Donnelly, Manu Masko, Goulven Hamel, Ronan Le Bars, Pierre Stephan, Mathieu Péquériau and Richard Puaud have ambition to spare and a formidable stage commitment to assert their position as challenger.

PICHARD VINCENDEAU – Nocturnal Alchemy

For their second album, Willy and Stevan will surprise you! Inspired by their musical encounters in France and abroad, the two accomplices wrote music outside the box, indulging in their distant desires: to free themselves from the classics and compose a repertoire with depth and modernity. The melodies are catchy, drawing their sources from the recognized rhythm of the duo. When their woodwinds are electrified, the two musicians give us flights that are both captive and wild. They surprise us with new twirling sounds, giving free rein to our imagination and free movement to our bodies. This album will give you a smile… and a mad desire to transcend yourself

BLUTCH – Promised land

‘Terre Promise’ is the debut album by French electronic artist Blutch. Between nostalgia and melancholy in his native Brittany, a journey to the borders of electronica, breakbeat, house and IDM. Following in the footsteps of Rone, James Holden, Four Tet or the Bicep duo, Blutch affirms with this manifesto his ability to draw meditative landscapes like dancefloor escapades, syntheses of multiple cross-influences over a flawless career, his his first hip-hop and abstract loves as a beatmaker who panicked on streaming platforms, his house vinyls released on the Barbecue label remixed by the cream of the genre’s guardians, from American legend Terrence Parker to the most confidential Red Rack’em and Strip Steve or the adventurous new chapter he started writing on Astropolis Records since 2020 with ‘La Cité des Étoiles’, remixed by the great Michael Mayer. ‘Terre Promise’ extends its unique trademark: smooth and inventive textures assembled like a mille-feuille, vocals that caress and kiss you, percussive and contemporary rhythms with immersive sound design and these catchy gimmicks of which it has the secret . By immersing us in his memories, Blutch opens the doors to the landscapes of his childhood and dreamed views, according to a plural sound palette: heritage of English dance music (‘Cobalan’, ‘River’), contemplative beaches ( ‘Les Bois’, ‘Terre Promise’), contemporary IDM with pop outlines and (‘Poplar’, ‘Rosko’, ‘Eussa’), crossovers with other instrumentalists (the violins of Mirabelle Gillis on ‘Choices’ and ‘ Cobalan’, guitar and drums on ‘Phoenix’ or the piano of ‘Poplar’) and dancing odes (‘Floatin’, ‘Les Sables Blancs’ or ‘Remparts’ with Maxime Dangles). A promising first feature film, as atmospheric as it is frenetic. Driven by the desire to bring people together and reconnect with the earth, Blutch invites a deep and spiritual introspective journey, where the listener easily imagines the producer’s intentions. And if not, just attend the live AV accompanied by the sublime visuals of motion designer Romain Navier for an electrifying experience, between colorful or abstract 3D and images of landscapes captured in Blutch’s North Finistère. A live that has already bewitched Panoramas in Morlaix, Clujotronic in Romania with other dates to come. Full of emotions, this beautiful, sincere and intense album is enough to send Blutch into the high spheres of electronic music in France. Evidenced by the impressive list of collaborations and remixes around the album, with key artists from the French electronic scene such as Mézigue, Maxime Dangles, Jennifer Cardini, Lauer, Madben or Maud Geffray, emerging artists such as Malcolm, or from the music acoustic like the cellist Mirabelle Gillis.

STARTIJENN – Talm ur braid

Undisputed master of the breizh version of the dancefloor, Startijenn, reveals himself in this 7th opus in a brand new light, in a mix of trad, rock & folk. A solid line-up combining traditional instruments and a muscular rhythmic base supported on four tracks by a drum set, which illustrates in its own way a modern and incisive Breton musical identity. Tangi Le Gall-Carré: diatonic accordion Lionel Le Page: binioù & uilleann-pipes Tangi Oillo: guitar Youenn Roue: bombarde & voice Julien Stévenin: bass
