DISK 014EP
|
"DISK is more than pleased to welcome Bambounou on the label! He sent us 3 or 4 tracks of superior quality: the music on Parametr Pureskja has a strong and original characteristic which fits exactly DISK's style: Crisp beats interlocked in edgy grooves shaping a hypnotising drive with a dark tension. Like a giant clockwork relentlessly pushing forward entangling the listeners in its infectious repetition, thrilling their bodies and flooding them with an energetic buzz that seeks to blow up on the dance floor!"

Gatefold double LP version. After leaving both critics and the dancefloor in awe with his 2012 debut album Orbiting (50 011CD/LP), Jéremy Guindo aka Bambounou returns to 50WEAPONS in full-length form with Centrum. While his debut album painted a futuristic, extraterrestrial picture, Guindo now tries to explore what the future would look like on Earth: "For Centrum, the concept is a little bit different, it's back on Earth, still in the future and it's not so bright. Have you seen Akira or read Dune or even Foundation? It's this kind of vibe for me," he says. Hold on -- outlining a dark future in a techno full-length... hasn't that already been done? Not in this manner. Guindo paints a picture of a future where everything is in order and no one can get out of the system. "Composer" is a perfect example, with its grooves evoking the image of a conveyor belt for production or transport. Guindo tinkers with (real Detroit) electro synths throughout the album, leading the listener into a trance state that he interrupts with the slamming percussion of tracks like "Each Other." While Orbiting reflected Guindo's experience growing up the 13th arrondissement of Paris (home to big building blocks and the Quartier Asiatique), Centrum somewhat diminishes the presence of his bass and footwork influences. Ambient and techno are what Guindo is leaning toward now. Centrum may not be a typical club record, stuffed with bangers from start to finish, though it does contain material for good DJs to sink their teeth into. Instead, while it's sure please fans of Orbiting, it also provides the kind of listening experience treasured by mature techno fans.

50WXTR 003EP
|
50 Weapons proudly presents two stripped-back club tracks by Bambounou, the main man for dancefloor euphoria. "Feel Like This" is built around a hypnotizing vocal sample with hi-hats sharp enough to cut a hole right through your brain cells to activate your dance-nerves. "Onto This" sees Bambounou unleash his talents in a very NY-esque way, with those sharp skippy hats that are definitely drawing on UK garage and one of the grooviest organs heard since "Kaoz on King Street." Both tracks will definitely reap lots of support, from Panorama Bar to the beaches of Croatia and back to Paris.

50WRMX 010EP
|
The 50WEAPONSRMX10 EP lets Bambounou's heady minimal original "Ignition" shine in new glamour. Laurent Garnier, the pioneer of the French techno scene himself, steps up to provide a lush, dubby tech-house track that strictly aims at the big room. French Fries' version of "Take It Out on Me" is an austere stunner of the minimalist approach so typical for the new French sound. The two remixes couldn't be more different and they couldn't fit together better, each on their own representing an important facet of the label's catalog.

Bambounou, 50 Weapons' French connection, has released records on ClekClek Boom and produced remixes for Count & Sinden, Strip Steve, The Aikiu, and Modeselektor, amongst others. Each one is a crafty, minimalist techno/house/bass curveball with one single purpose: to make your ass move. And that's exactly what you can expect from Ignition/Take It Out on Me.

50 026EP
|
Barely into his 20s, Jéremy Guindo-Zegiestowski's output has prodigiously burst onto a number of emerging labels, from his ambient percussive algorithms on the Youngunz Alpha EP to the garage house bravado of his Clek Clek Boom release Night/Brawl. Still, despite his effortless ability to channel different genres all over the musical map, there's a volatile tension that sometimes rears its head in Guindo's work, showing a duality that is engaging, confusing, and awe-inspiring.

Previously sold via Hardwax Record Store/Berlin in August 2012), here's the chance to get a copy of this 12" in the limited edition series from the 50 Weapons label. Tigers didn't raise him, but he bears all the mysteries of the wild world inside of him. His beats can make an oasis appear in the middle of the Sahara. This shaman has seduced the electro jungle, from Sinden to Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team and Modeselektor.

This is the debut album from Paris-based Jeremy Guindo aka Bambounou on Modeselektor's 50 Weapons label. Guindo's first public DJ gig was at the age of 19, playing with two of his favorite producers Bok Bok and Lvis-1990. His first release was an EP on French electro digital label Youngunz called Animism, released in 2010. His main influences include African rhythm grooves, Chicago and Detroit house artists like DJ Funk, DJ Slugo and the Dance Mania label, in addition to UK dubstep, UK funky, techno and Drexciya. He's also really into video games, cat gifs, any weird animals on YouTube, Curiosity on Mars, fantasy genre books, fiction novels and swimming. As the artist himself explains: "I started with quite a minimalist approach. I essentially wanted to have some key techno tracks mixed with some serious dancefloor bangers. Even though I feel the tracks are all quite different within their own right, they still come under the umbrella of '90s house and techno mixed with some kind of bass music. I have a running theme throughout, which is space." On Orbiting you'll find UK funky flares, bonafide techno blasters, touches of Chicago house, deep arpeggiators and synths, Moog destroyers, experimental groove and acid house on crack.
