Since he was revealed in 2014 at Astropolis and Transmusicales festival, French producer Blutch has become a new ambassador of electronic music in France. After a prolific year in 2020 with two EP, “La Cité des Etoiles” on Astropolis Records and “Cirrus” on Hip Dozer, and past releases on Nowadays, Dance Around 88 and Delicieuse musique, he’s back with a new single that comes with two classy and groovy remixes from Mézigue and Lauer.
Following his unique musical identity between abstract hip-hop and house music, Cobalan is an electronic journey, with emotive and dreamy melodies accented by Mirabelle Gillis violins. A wonderful trip to a nostalgic and intimate tale, direct from the artist’s memories. Indeed, Cobalan is the previous name of the street where he grew up. A tribute to his childhood, a leap in his native Brittany illustrated by an elegant clip produced by Sourdoreille that makes you as a passenger into Blutch’s brain.
His unique touch won renowned producers Mezigue and Lauer’s heart, after having won other artist’s in the past (Terrence Parker, Michael Mayer, Red Rack’em or Maxime Dangles…). UFO in the French house scene, Mézigue delivers, as he always does, a good vibes ovation following an oniric intro, between enchanting melodies, funny loops and his recognizable kicks and lo-fi signature, that is suited for the dancefloor. German producer Lauer delivers a roady remix with a delicious electro vibe, glitched vocals and his cosmic touch.
This singular melodic work from Blutch and his remixers provides us a breath of freshness in the greyish monotony of these times, a way to escape in these strange days.
