Ekleroshock brings us ‘En Silence Remixes’ by Antonin. Named after his grandmother’s boat, Antonin is a wanderer both in France and beyond, a sun-drenched character of the open roads who grew up on the picturesque Cap Ferret and on a surf board.
His debut album ‘En Silence’ was an ode to the sea and stillness. The pop refrains, catchy ballads, and island-infused songs created a captivating charm that guided this bard on a summer tour across the roads of France in a van, where he opened for both the Oracle Sisters and Kings Of Convenience, and the European tour of Allah-Las.
On this remix EP, Antonin invites friends Polo & Pan, Yuksek, Kraak & Smaak, Omri Smadar, Lazy Flow, and Dorion to work their magic on three of the album cuts.
French iconoclasts, Polo & Pan, bring the tropical heat to the heartfelt ‘Je Veux Mourir Avec Toi’ (I want to die with you). Sonic dynamo Yuksek electrifies with his unmistakable nu-disco touch on ‘Antonino’, while Omri Smadar (Correspondent) adds luscious pads, thrilling live drums, and works the 303 a treat on his version. La Créole resident, Lazy Flow, takes us to a Caribbean dream island, while Dutch trio Kraak & Smaak bring bags of their distinctive boogie flavor to the title cut. Closing out in a more subtle mode is Dorion who persuades us to follow him to the seaside with his sandcastles and warm summer sunshine affair.
Parisian imprint Ekleroshock is an independent label and publisher that in its time, has sold almost a million records. Founded in 2002, it has been active for over two decades in the innovative electronic pop world.
