Since their debut in the 1990’s, within the electronic and chill-out scene, the DJ and sound artist duo founded by JEAN-YVES LELOUP and ERIC PAJOT are considered as pioneer of the french ambient wave with their mixture of electronic sounds and cinematic atmospheres, adding a narrative and darker feeling to this ethereal genre of music.

In the past, the Parisian duo was rather illustrated with mixes, sound montages and collages, presented in the form of radio broadcasts, cinemixes, performances or audiovisual installations.

Reissued by french label Irradiant Hologram with a new and powerful remix by cult-producer I :Cube, here is a new “Redux” version of their first real album published in 2012 (which was sold-out, and unavailable on streaming platforms).

The album gathers three original compositions, each one lasting twenty minutes. Mixing spoken words with field recordings (natural and urban sounds) and electronic sounds, as well as revealing a rich and poetic universe, halfway between ambient, drone, soundscape and sound art.

The characteristic features of Radiomentale’s sounds remain untouched: human vocals, immersion and hypnosis aesthetics, cinematic climate, sense of narration and atmospheres.
