Revealed in 2014 by Astropolis and the Transmusicales, Blutch has risen to the rank of up-and-comer, thanks to numerous releases on Astropolis Records, Nowadays, Délicieuse Musique, Barbecue and Dance Around 88, allowing him to collaborate with legends, such as US house pioneer Terrence Parker or Kompakt guru Michael Mayer, or producers such as: Mézigue, Lauer, Red Rack’em, Strip Steve or Maxime Dangles. From Laurent Garnier to Tom Trago, Blutch has received the support of the greatest artists, and the backing of media such as XLR8R, Resident Advisor, Tsugi, Trax or Radio Nova.
After promising beginnings between hip hop and abstract that have panicked the stream platforms, feverish and wandering house vinyls with soulful influences, contemporary and sunny disco beats, Blutch refines his production work with a thousand textures and sharpens a singular trademark between electronica, breakbeat and house, following in the footsteps of Rone, Bicep or James Holden. He unveiled the first outlines of this on Astropolis Records with the EP ‘La Cité des Etoiles’ in 2020, announcing the beginning of a new and long adventure on the label from Brest, which will host his first album in early 2022, ‘Terre Promise’. A tribute to his native Brittany and a sonic turning point revealing a suave and generous electronic music, weightless between breakbeat, electronica, house and dreamy tracks. The first three singles ‘Cobalan’, ‘River’ and ‘Poplar’ announce a first exercise of the long-format very successful, accompanied by remixes of the cream of the French and European electronic scene: Jennifer Cardini & Demon Jee, Mézigue, Lauer, Maud Geffray, Madben, Malcolm…
This album will take its full scope on stage with a fabulous live AV, in collaboration with the motion designer Romain Navier who accompanies it with a captivating visual fable, a total immersion between two worlds, real and dreamlike, mixing meditative landscapes and abstract dreams.
