His work is described as “a timeless sounding orchestra, both futuristic and slightly dada, conjuring ancient traditions in its surprisingly sensuous music.” Bastien has been called a "mad musical scientist with a celebrity following" by The Guardian. With collaborations with Pascal Comelade, Robert Wyatt, Aphex Twin to name a few, he is one of the most influential experimental musicians working in the field.

FACS (US / Trouble in Mind)
FACS features Jonathan van Herik, Noah Leger and Brian Case of Disappears. Using minimalism and space, FACS make abstract and modern art rock. As Disappears was getting ready to enter the studio and plan the next 2 years, not everyone was willing to make the same commitments as they had in the past. The band had become a conversation between the four of us about how we process music and art together as a group. There was no point in replacing someone or carrying on under a name that identified the four of us. We all feel strongly that artists have a responsibility to challenge themselves and exist in the now, rip it up and start again. It's exciting to be in an unknown space. First FACS album will be release in March 2018 on Trouble in Minds Records! FACS are ready to hit Europe/UK! Availability: Europe/UK from 21 March to 23 June 2018. Contact Etienne / soundcloud

LOVE THEME (CA / A L T E R )
Nous avions un peu perdu de vue Alex Zhang Hungtai depuis l’annonce de la fin du projet Dirty Beaches en 2014.

Peu de temps après, nous recevions les beaux morceaux du nouveau trio Love Theme dans lequel il s’entoure d'Austin Milne et Simon Frank. D’ailleurs proche de l’univers de Badalamenti, le projet est né de sessions improvisées mêlant saxos, percus, boite à rythmes, clavier, voix, et de nombreux voyages entre London, Los Angeles et Taipei. L’EP est sorti depuis le 23 juin, nous vous le recommandons vivement (en écoute sur The Fader) et sommes heureux de vous annoncer l’arrivée de ce beau projet chez Julie Tippex, premiers concerts en novembre lors du festival Musiques Volantes.

GOAT (JP / Headz)
Guitar, saxophone, bass and drums. Disregarding the musical scale of instruments as much as possible, the band creates songs that consist of noise and muted sounds that produce a techno energy. The trance and fatigue brought about from relentless repetition and the melody-like sounds that comprise harmonics outside the twelve-tone are both urban and tribal at the same time. A LIVE MUST SEE! Availability: Germany from 19 April to 02 June 2018. Contact Etienne / FaceBook Link / Short Live extract / Longer Live extract / Soundcloud

RADIAN (AT / Thrill Jockey)
The long-standing experimental group Radian has been dealing with the relation between structure and abstraction and gained world wide attention promoted by the label Thrill Jockey. Martin Brandlmayr, John Norman and Martin Siewert combine the traditional instrumentation of rock music with extremely minimalist, abstract structures. They create a space of tension between extreme dynamics, freely improvised parts and meticulous construction. Their fifth and recent release 'On Dark Silent Off' is about the juxtaposition of extremes and contrast. It took inspiration from modern and contemporary works of art, from the abstract paintings of Ad Reinhardt to 'Outer Space', an impressionistic horror film by fellow Austrian Peter Tscherkassky. Vienna is the home of Radian who have been influenced by and shaped the city’s vivid scene of electronica since the early 2000s. Available for fly-ins or special events / Europe/UK.
