In July 2003, the CiTiZen crew receives an email from JLF with a mp3 file attached. An unknown track, which caught Vitalics attention, but no name, nothing.
We learn that JLF is fond of electronics, and that he has sent his music to CiTiZen only. His real name is Cyril Th..venard, and had already worked with Choice Records in 1997, releasing the Vulcan EP. Less tuff, but still radical, the Volt Age EP signs his come back on the dancefloor, six years after.
We are discovering a thirty-years-old man, whos originality and atistic identity are very marked with a stunning live act. A new citizen has joined us, for your body and hears pleasure!
His first vynil opus had been warm welcomed by major producers & the first CD project of this Dijon Based musician is a kind of darker and colder style, keeping a strong diversity in the tracks. This project is aimed at the electronic scene and at the deejays but also at a pop-rock audience not used to vynils.
Talking about the music....well start from the acid & mechanical « Music is not computer algebra » passing through the massive-electro of « George » and the Moroder trip of « So far away ».
Towards of the unpublished,
The epileptic remix of « Personal jesus » sacred union of trance music, hypnotic climb, huge beat and saturate reminds from the original song.
« Erase my anger » is an electro-pop hymn with "techno..ds" emanations.
« Never Change» is an electro /breakbeat tale ornate by the filtred vocals with hip-hop tone and finally «Slavery », is a travel to the SM/Fetish universe on hitch beats with "trash" lyrics.
In Bonus, some shorts synthetic tracks cary out this project...
In April/ September 2006 Debaser Cd gets a worldwide distribution.
The vinyl version is to be out in 3 part.
The PART 1 out since january include "Personal Jesus" , "Slavery" & "Erase my anger", it's already a bestseller vynil.....
