RELEASE DATE: 2/7/2025
15 Years Anniversary Edition of the debut full length from French producer/DJ Rone. Printed on neon pink transparent bio-vinyl. In 2009, Rone released Spanish Breakfast, an album that marked the first step of an extraordinary musical journey. Now, to celebrate its 15th anniversary, Infine is thrilled to announce a special edition reissue -- sustainably crafted on vibrant neon pink vinyl, created as a tribute to the album that started it all. This limited release isn't just a record; it's a piece of history and a celebration of where it all began. A record of simmering techno bubbles and gentle wells and releases swimming elegantly over its duration. A playful and woozy effort, Rone fills up the stereo field with widescreen synthscapes and dreamy bleeps popping from every audio crevice. In Spanish Breakfast, the young Frenchman has crafted a player that is primed for hazy Spring afternoons bathed in sunshine. Featuring Alain Damasio.

L(oo)ping is a story that began with great trepidation and an initial polite refusal and may have never have been told. Even for Rone, who's used to making bold moves, the orchestra had always seemed a step too far. Motion laid the groundwork for L(oo)ping, a journey in which Romain Allender (who worked The Grand Budapest Hotel by Wes Anderson and The Shape of Water by Guillermo del Toro amongst others) acted as a creative translator for Rone. Leafing through Rone's repertoire he selected the tracks that would better lend themselves for symphonic reinterpretations. The eleven pieces chosen each mark a different stage in Rone's trajectory, from one of his first-ever productions, "Bora," born in a studio flat in Paris in 2008 when he was still a student, all the way to the soundtrack composed for the 2022 short-film, Ghosts, written by Spike Jonze, directed and performed by (LA)HORDE. L(oo)ping isn't just an orchestral retelling of Rone's work, however. New life has been breathed into the music through Allender's arrangements as well as Rone's own interaction with the Orchestre National de Lyon and conductor Dirk Brossé. There's a rich dramaturgy to the music, but not once does the acoustic trample on the electronic nor vice-versa. Rather, L(oo)ping manages to achieve an elegant and playful tightrope balance between both voices that keeps listeners hooked on suspense and surprise.

Double LP, recycled color vinyl and recycled sleeve; includes two sticker sheets with the artworks of each track of the album. Tohu Bohu (released in 2012) has become Rone's most cult album, with tracks like "Bye Bye Macadam" or "Parade." InFiné decided to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the album with an anniversary edition in recycled vinyl (random color), recycled sleeve, and two sticker sheets with the artworks of each track of the album. It has been a decade since electronic producer and musician Erwan Castex, known by the pseudonym Rone, released his groundbreaking and breakout second album Tohu Bohu in 2012. Created in a three-month period soon after moving from Paris to Berlin, Tohu Bohu is more a contemplative, reflective record than it is an observation of his newfound present environment. The result is a truly transcendent, transportive album that has for ten years occupied a space in the electronic music landscape that is wholly its own. Tohu Bohu was met with a steady landslide of critical acclaim, and hailed by The Creator's Project as "a beautiful musical artifact from an increasingly powerful musical archaeologist," and "grand in scale, yet delicately intimate" by Interview Magazine. The tenth anniversary of the album will be celebrated with a special edition vinyl reissue on InFiné, made with fully recycled materials. In the words of Death + Taxes Magazine in 2012, "Rone is one of the shining lights of electronic music in a decade of micro-genres and artists that burst brilliantly then fade into internet obscurity," and the decade following the release of Tohu Bohu is conclusive proof of that. Features High Priest of Antipop Consortium and Gaspar Claus.

Sixteen musical vignettes of electrifying emotion at the crossroads of ambient, modern synthesizer productions and organic orchestral music experimentation, which tint French director Jacques Audiard's new feature film with the illuminated glow of a whole new generation. When Jacques Audiard contacted him, Rone was just a few weeks away from receiving the Cesar award for best film score for his very first soundtrack Night Ride, the highest honor in French film for a composer. Throughout his career, the French director has been able to surprise his audience by playing on the codes of "genre films", while remaining faithful to the aesthetics of "art film". His cinema is both profound and entertaining, sophisticated and accessible, dark and dreamlike. His new feature film deals with youth in general and their sexuality in particular in a way no one may have done before. The story is based on four young characters and their existential questionings, whose destinies intertwined against the backdrop of the Parisian "Olympiades" high rises in the 13th arrondissement. But time was already running out, as the film was set to be nominated for Cannes' Palm D'or at the rescheduled edition of the festival in July 2021. Between the releases of Rone & Friends (IF 1060CD/LP, 2021) and recent remixes, the producer decided to lock himself away in in his brand-new Isola Studio in Cancale, French Brittany. He also invested in a large screen on which he projected loops of the film and started manipulating his gear. "I had Miles Davis in mind and the way he composed 'Ascenseur pour l'échafaud' by improvising with his band while watching excerpts from the film." After a first conclusive test on three scenes of the film which allowed Rone to showcase the skills he had developed in composition in various musical fields, a relationship of trust developed between the musician and the director, which resulted in over 45 minutes of Rone's music used for the final cut. If the black-and-white aesthetic recalls the great hours of the "Nouvelle Vague", Rone's music gives a new layer to the film which fits resolutely with 2020's zeitgeist.

2021 repress, originally released in 2017. Stepping into Rone's music is like sleepwalking through a vividly colorful dream, eventually stumbling across a strange, scintillating Megapolis of saturated light and colors: Mirapolis. It's twelve tracks/districts, each with their own specific planning, pulsate as though animated by their musical mastermind. You snorkel through Mirapolis' musical depths. A city that generates constant wonderment, a desire for emancipation, a gathering of citizens connected to the collective's vital energy. The project was an opportunity for Rone to get reacquainted with long-time stage and studio partners John Stanier, Gaspar Claus and the Vacarme band, and Bryce Dessner (guitarist for The National), while bringing in new collaborators (and thus, new interpretation of Rone's dreams). You find American slam-poet Saul Williams, who happened to be in Paris for a moment and contributes a searing anti-trump screed; Baxter Dury, who brings an irresistible East London touch to "Switches", a kind of fan fic that reimagines the Beatles' Sgt Pepper lounging pensive in a club chair; Israeli electronic music muse Noga Erez, who inspired "Waves", which, despite being recorded remotely, betrays a euphoric partnership; and finally, Kazu Makino, Blonde Redhead's bewitching singer and multi-instrumentalist, who contributes to the album's closer, the gauzy "Down For The Cause".

2021 repress, originally released in 2009. At sunrise, stuck in the last floor of his apartment in Paris, with his elbow on the breakfast table, Rone sinks into his dream and ventures into a wonderland alternately fairy-tale and nightmarish. Hard to find a better illustration than the videoclip of "Spanish Breakfast" to introduce the melting relationship sustained by Rone's music with imaginary realms. This first collaboration with French short-film boy wonder, Vladimir Mavounia-Kouka could only give birth to a fantastic piece of work and a relevant visual metaphor for the daydreaming nature of this first album. After a first cut with Lucy on Curle, Rone signed a proper 12" on Agoria's imprint InFiné. Ranking among his best supporters Massive Attack 3D, English superstar DJs of the likes of Sasha, Lee Burridge and Dial's or Border Community's champions, his gliding Bora EP was a first tour-de-force, which reconciled electronic with indie amateurs. In everyday life, Erwan Castex is making soundscapes for exhibitions, adverts or short-films, but when he starts working on his own compositions, Rone becomes the guide of an enchanted world. But what makes Rone run: Some Spanish Breakfast entertainments; a catapult throwing juicy electronica towards orange-suns; a mound of strawberries, as pop and tasty allegory for Belleville, one of the most colorful and animated district of Paris; the progressive rocking of a coffee bath in the Nigerian highnesses of Aya Ama or the misty coziness of the lunar in"tea"rlude; Not quite so. Rather the pranks of a blind and kleptomaniac white rabbit! Compelled in a breathless race, Rone drives his listeners toward more dynamic and refined productions. In this underground of Mass-production, performance and conformity, the sarcasms of a French SF writer on "Bora" appears as a necessary release to the survival of creativity. From this sanitized and mechanical fast-food city emerge nonetheless the exulted and minimalist "Tasty City" and the hypnotic copper of "La Dame Blanche" in a three-colored and pornographic Pigalle-like district. A last breath of fresh air as "Outro" -- the music stops -- and the listener is eventually back to reality. Features Alain Damasio.

Rone & Friends has the musical color of Rone's friendships, of his crushes for a few additional less expected guest voices, but also inevitably of his own personality. The new collaborative album includes voices by Georgia, Yael Naim, Casper Clausen (Efterklang), Flavien Berger, Jenny Beth, Dominique A, and many others. In the social isolation of 2020, Rone felt the need to come closer to his artist friends and to reshuffle his creations with their voices as the new beating heart. This collection, entitled Rone & Friends, has the musical color of Rone's friendships, of his crushes for a few additional less expected guest voices, but also inevitably of his own personality. The collaborative album is based on an electronic backdrop of previously unreleased titles, alternative versions of Room With A View or his first feature film soundtrack La Nuit Venue. First of all, there's this title from his "buddy", the science-fiction author Alain Damasio, which Rone has had on his hard drive for a while: a slightly erotic pastiche to Serge Gainsbourg entitled "un". Rone unearthed a deep and pastoral version of "Human" where the voice of Efterklang singer Casper Clausen seems to take on the accents of Matt Berninger of The National. The artist reactivated the aborted collaboration projects with his close circle and spontaneously collected a big handful of titles. To these first "kind-hearted" reactions, came three female collaborations with the English singer and multi-instrumentalist Georgia, the Iranian Roya Arab (seminal voice of the "Londinium" of the group Archive) and a rising figure of the ambient scene, Malibu, with whom Rone had always hoped to work. It is a kind of pressure cooker of spicy and very diverse musical personalities that gives a fresh and offbeat appeal to Rone's music. Dominique A's lyrical skills rubs shoulders with the surrealist and psychedelic poetry of Flavien Berger. The vitamin-packed pop of Georgia is followed by the ethereal contemplations of Yael Naim. Jenny Beth from Savages even turns her post-punk attitude into French desireless-ness. Nods to American rock merge with '90s trip-hop in a mix of genres that is bubbling, fun, but never disconcerting. The visual identity of the project was created by the illustrator and cartoonist Coco and continues, in its own way, the work initiated by Michel Gondry on the imaginary city of Mirapolis. Also features Odezenne, Laura Etchegoyhen, Mood, Camélia Jordana, and Mélissa Laveaux.

LP version. Includes bonus track. Rone is electronic producer Erwan Castex and his fifth album is titled Room With A View, which marks a major moment in the Frenchman's career. The album was produced alongside a live show commissioned by the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris and developed together with choreography collective (LA) HORDE and 20 dancers of the Ballet National de Marseille. This new kind of collaborative approach allowed Rone to produce his most sincere and far-reaching music in some time. Inspired by discussions of collapsologie and climate change, Room With A View offers food for thought on how to deal with one of the most pressing issues of humanity. Room With A View sees Rone returning to his musical roots and the set-up of his early albums: purely electronic, solitarily conceived without any musical collaborators. At the same time, he was able to leave his comfort zone through a new kind of artistic liaison. The production of the corresponding show inspired the album and vice versa. Room With A View works perfectly as a standalone album, still the outcome is a firmly intertwined piece of modern dance and electronic music that comes with a more serious goal than mere musical innovation. Room With A View was written and produced in 2019 within nine months. Its foundation was laid during a stay at the former house of writer George Sand in the rural area of Nohant, the place where Frédéric Chopin composed a third of his music. Musically, Rone manages to let his trademark sound shine in a new light, pleasing early fans as well as every electronica enthusiast. Typically melodic beats like "Ginkgo Biloba" nestle against tracks that exhibit classic influences from Boards of Canada ("La Marbrerie") to SAW-era Aphex Twin ("Raverie"), euphoric dancefloor rhythms sit next to contemplative synth work. Tracks like "Sophora Japonica" showcase Rone's mastership in atmosphere, which sometimes requires no drums at all. Elsewhere, Rone is clearly reviving the club-centric vibe of "Tohu Bohu" and experimenting with elements of dub. It all makes for an adventurous and rewarding listen. Most importantly, Rone is redefining the notion of "organic" in electronic music through use of field and voice recordings. Room With A View has personal connotations for Rone, but it's also connected to how we observe phenomena in the modern world.

The seminal second album of Rone, Tohu Bohu from 2012, is at last back in stock in red, double-vinyl version. Including leftfield smash hits "Bye Bye Macadam", "Parade", and "Let's Go". The album has made Rone a cult figure in his own country, gracing the cover of one magazine after the other and being saluted by Trax magazine three times in 2012 (Best French Artist, Best French Album, and Best Music Video). French music legend Jean Michel Jarre has been effusive in his praise for the young man. His videos for "Parade" and "Bye Bye Macadam" have been picked up worldwide. His live performances during Tohu Bohu's tour have developed into a large-scale sound and vision show entitled "Module", bringing together the various video-makers (including Studio Fünf, Dimitri Stankowicz, and Valdimir Mavounia-Kouka) and stage technicians who have played a key part in defining Rone's visual identity. Tohu Bohu also revealed Rone's openness to experimentation, including a hip-hop inspired track with vocals from High Priest of Antipop Consortium ("Let's Go") and a beautiful collaboration with cellist Gaspard Claus ("Icare").

The flamboyant and off-kilter title track from Rone's latest album, "Mirapolis". With this new four-track EP, combined with a new video by Aurélie Castex, Rone extends the carnival of electronic cultures of his latest musical citadel to the dancefloor. Johannes Brecht offers a refined reading throbbing with cerebral pulsations. Matias Aguayo provides a playful and wild take, sweeping in with a ritornello of chiptune sounds and orchestral arrangements. French techno scene boss Laurent Garnier embraces the original piece in all its meticulousness and its psychedelic lifeblood. Coincides with the release of a new video by Rone's sister Aurélie Castex.
