"Electronic music has never been solely about the music itself or its fame. It has been a fight, a totem. Every week it becomes a universal communion, a celebration, a reconciliation with both ourselves and others. No frontiers, no territories, no certainties other than being as authentic as possible. As a musician and producer, after five albums, I clearly know that my proposition will always be about diversity more than a single crafted sound. This is how I am: multifaceted, nourished by social human exchanges and my encounters in science, art, and technology. I have one life and different bodies. I can be physical and digital, technological and organic, house, techno, and soul. This album is about shedding light in a vertical period where the fight for truth and visibility becomes crucial, where Blockchain might become our right to vote. It's about making complex things sound simpler, joining the dots. A proposition more than a promise: Unshadow. The metamorphosis is happening; embracing all generations on the same song with Nile Rodgers and Madison McFerrin! Embracing the diversity of backgrounds, styles, and geography, from Sacha Rudy to Dominique Fils-Aimé (Canada), through Natalie Sade (Australia). As a citizen of the world, having traveled endlessly for 30 years now, I know how lucky I have been to experience and experiment with various situations. If this album can simply share some of the joy I have received and spread some goodwill and white magic to the listener, I will be the happiest seeing the light that chases away the shadow." --Agoria

SAPIENS 002LP
|
.dev is an album from Agoria, French polymath known for his forays into visual arts and tech, as well as electronic music production and DJing. .dev was yet another collaborative piece from Agoria, aka Sebastien Devaud. As well as Blasé and STS, who returned after featuring on Drift (2019), Devaud worked with Domino's Ela Minus, flamenco innovator Niño De Elche, and the unique hip-hop delivery of Rome Fortune across the LP, with additional collaborators including Sacha Rudy and Oscar winner (The Sound of Metal), Nicolas Becker. Sonically, the LP sees Agoria presenting a kaleidoscopic haze of cinematic and evolving electronica that touched on house, techno, electro, hip-hop, and beyond but beneath the aesthetics. .dev is the work of an artist asking himself questions in order to create worlds out of his answers. Beyond looking to question the very systems of the traditional album format, his holistic approach to AI and NFT's within the thematic world of his work were laid out front and center through the visual and conceptual identity surrounding the album.

SAPIENS 007EP
|
Agoria's second outing on Sapiens presents some of his most uncompromising work to date. Boomerang manifests live percussion and analog pulse waves, rising through Shepard tone drama and succinct, minimalist form. Three additional solo performances accompany the title track; a clin d'oeil to the minimalist French synth pioneers of yesteryear. An exercise in humanity.

KOM 325EP
|
French mastermind Agoria follows his stellar remix of Michael Mayer's "Good Times" on Mantasy Remixe 2 (KOM 272EP, 2013) with his mesmerizing floor epic "Baptême." Bouncy, minimalist percussion is joined by an extensive, dub-styled sub-bass and floating shards of atmospheric synths, quickly escalating into a high-definition mover fitted with gorgeous swabs of piano and a keen sense for emotional space. Luke Jenner (The Rapture, DJ Tennis) adds more wiggle-room to the proceedings with enticing new vocals in his "Lucky Blue Eyes Version," which Agoria retouches to sharpen its blurry edges and put the vocals to work in a primetime environment.
