"Le Catalyste" et "Mes Enceintes font défaut" présentent une nouvelle collaboration autour du travail du Montréalais Fxbip! (tracklist ci-après) Fxbip est un artiste au sens large du terme, très prolifique musicalement , il l'est aussi graphiquement avec des peintures où se mélangent les textures et les collages.

Il nous livre ici un set fait de collages et d'enchevêtrements qui se déconstruit puis se reconstruit agréablement ! Il a sorti ces derniers temps pléthore de maxis (environ un par mois) dont un sur l'excellent label lyonnais Concrete Collage (@concrete-collage), et une série "Colundi" assez réussie qui s'inscrit dans le mouvement créatif porté par Aleksi Perälä (Ovuca).

This week, Le Catalyste is super happy to receive Jude Greenaway aka “Scanone”, a London-based producer, DJ and AV artist who has been making, playing and releasing music for over 2 decades.

This mix is also the occasion to start a collaboration with the Montréal based Webzine "Mes Enceintes Font défaut", which is always looking deeper into sound, and show great taste about ambiant/IDM/experimental electronic music! https://www.mesenceintesfontdefaut.com/ https://bit.ly/2rHONsc
