ARNAUD LE TEXIER
In 1990 Arnaud Le Texier started his career as a DJ in the region of Rennes (Bretagne) France. Inspired by the work of artists such as Herbie Hancock, The Orb, Kraftwerk and Pink Flyod, Arnaud began mixing at rave parties alongside various established Djs and later launched the weekly club party Promised Land at L'espace. It was during this period that he met Nova Nova (from the F Communication label) and he collaborated on the maxi single EX EP. After several years of managing the record shop Club News in Rennes, Arnaud moved to Paris where he managed another well known record shop. It was here that his career as a Dj really began to develop. Performing at the top clubs in Paris and worldwide, Arnaud soon had a residency at Queen that lasted five years, mixing with some of the worlds best DJs and the best clubs in Paris(1995/2000). During this period Arnaud also did many mixes for Radio FG, one of Frances leading electronic music stations, including a special broadcast. As well as touring all over France for many sponsored parties, Arnaud Le Texier also performed internationally in countries such as Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, USA etc. At the end of the year 2000 he played in Miami alongside British DJ James Warren and the two artists decided to launch the UK based labels; Atcha Recordings, which experimented with Deep House and Trip- Hop, and kailash Records which explored Tech-House, Break beat, Techno and Electro sounds. Through his focus on music quality and originality, as well as his performances on a international level, Arnaud Le Texier is becoming one of the leaders in French electronic sound. In early 2004 Arnaud and James launched Safari Electronique, which concentrates on more experimental and minimal sounds. At the beginning of 2006 Arnaud decided to live in London where he plays in various clubs & partys (Fabric, Tea Bar, Multivitamins, Zig Zag, etc …). Arnaud is perfect blend of natural talent and raw flare with a very distinctive music.
dub KULT
dub KULT is one of the few DJs and producers out there who has an instinctive feel for rocking a dance-floor while also having both something to say and the skills with which to express himself. Live and on record, he plays techno and house sometimes deep, sometimes hard but always infused with some kind of off-kilter alien funk. He doesn't just do looping bangers, and he doesn't get lost in self-indulgence, but he does produce superbly funky, danceable yet lush music that has both attitude and soul.
A special insight into party music that's great for your soul and your head sets dub KULT apart from most producers and this has made him one of those artists the techno scene relies on for peaktime sounds. His records get props from everyone from Steve Bug and Richard Grey to Ricardo Villalobos and Andy Weatherall, even Sven Vath. He's put out tunes through Warp's off shoot, Arcola, influential German labels Traum and Raum...Musik, plus he's already done the soundtrack for Channel 4's Burning Man film, the Tomorrow's World Live show, as well as for legendary fetish fashion show, The Torture Garden. Most recently, he's been putting his money where his mouth is and has started a record label all of his own. Living Records has been getting support from everyone from Dave Mothersole to Larent Garnier and is set to be a bit of a label to be reckoned with in 2007.
Kult has it's roots in the infamous club nights Dub ran with the Kult collective, since 1997. Dancefloors were wiggled and grooved upon from everywhere from the ICA to dodgy Dalston warehouses and swank West London clubs. Guests have included Nathan Coles, Tyler T-Bone Stadius, Richard Grey, Cylob, Evil Eddie Richards and Brit underground legend Tom Churchill.
dub KULT doesn't serve up an arid musical mono-culture, but a rich mix. The diversity of his music is a reflection of his background half-Indian, half-English, part-time member of both the cool crowd and the geek gaggle, neither definitively house nor techno. The music he makes is for both the head and the body. Even tunes that seem made for those moments when you're lost on the dance-floor always have some latent, brooding meaning an intention. Like few DJs of his generation, dub KULT understands that at the centre of clubbing madness lies a still, reflective core.
dub KULT is a man whose whole career has been dedicated to the un-ending call-and-response of rhythm, this time expressed in electronic music.
