Lucien-N-Luciano

b. Lucien Nicolet, 1978, Chile. While his musical romantic relationship with his house nation of Chile may possibly not be as pronounced as the Nortec Collective’s link with the indigenous music of Mexico or the Gotan Task’s association to Argentinian tango, Lucien-N-Lucian’s radiant machine music can be nevertheless forged using a obvious Latin American highlight. Located in Switzerland, the manufacturer/DJ’s music not merely holds prominent South American inflections but also a specific vivacity and ardour that’s readily from the continent. Section of a burgeoning Chilean underground of gifted electronic music manufacturers (such as for example Dandy Jack port, Microman and Ricardo Villalobos), Nicolet continues to be DJing since 1993 and provides issued some 12-inches singles via Euro brands such as for example Transmat Information, Perlon, Klang Elektronik, Lo-Fi Stereo system, Bruchstuecke and Cadenza and a combination record, Live @ Weetamix, via Thomas Brinkmann’s Utmost.Ernst imprint ahead of his debut album proper Blind Behaviour (that was actually his thirtieth discharge and featured paths recorded between 2001 and 2003). Sounding like hardly any else for the music picture, Blind Behaviour ensemble home music in inventive brand-new shapes, slicing across 4/4 beats with deep synths and refined micro-beats. The record’s delicious paths were perhaps as well busy and as well voluminous to accurately in shape the ‘microhouse’ explanation but nevertheless distributed connections using the genre, with skittering rhythms dance over songs like flawlessly choreographed armies of ants and an severe attention to fine detail that only actually became obvious with repeated takes on. The album is usually cut through having a interested feeling of melancholy that’s most explicit around the down-tempo ‘La Ondita’ with vocalist Cassy Britton’s tone of voice sounding especially bleak.
