Gary Brunton - Simon Goubert - Emma Rawicz - Léa Ciechelski - Benjamin Garson
SPACECRAFT is an intergenerational and multicultural jazz creation. It brings together an experienced rhythm section with Simon Goubert on drums and composer Gary Brunton on double bass. These musicians have been playing together for over thirty years. They are joined by three young musicians from Europe’s top conservatoires. A rich cast of personalities: two British and three French. Or rather two female saxophonists, Emma Rawicz and Léa Ciechelski, who also have Polish roots, and Benjamin Garson, a Franco-German guitarist. In fact, you could say that SPACECRAFT is a European project for the 21st century.

Split Brain presents an entirely instrumental version of their metal album Écrasés par notre Héritage named Overwhelmed by our Legacy, allowing us to appreciate every musical nuance and discover the compositions from a new angle.
The album, available on all streaming platforms on February 28, was recorded with spontaneous live takes and in analog.
The idea of releasing instrumental versions came from the label. They may surprise longtime fans, intrigue new listeners, and offer a fresh perspective on the compositions. More than anything, they create new sensations and expand the imagination in a way that only instrumental music can.
WAITING [FOR JOY], Harmonic Permanent Drive’s first album, captivates by its intensity and constant tension, between organic and synthetic. With short and dark texts, sometimes close to the haiku or mantra, the album explores disillusionment, unadaptation to the world, and the search for meaning. The visionary quartet merges influences of indie, noise and indus rock with avant-garde synthetic textures. Guitar, bass, drums and machines are in the spotlight to highlight frank and direct words in English. The whole forms a captivating, raw and timeless sound mass.
Gary Brunton - Daniel Beaussier - Celestine de Williencourt
LOOK NORTH by Gary Brunton, Daniel Beaussier and Célestine de Williencourt takes you on a unique journey that evokes the wide-open spaces of Northern lands (Island, Scotland…) with a strong vocal presence, performing original works and inspired contemporary improvisations. The trio express itself via a certain form of Jazz Chamber Music. Through a narrative and lyrical approach to jazz creation. Saxophones, double bass, tabla, oboe, clarinets, English horn, flutes, voice, flutes : each instrument playing its role in a fluid, organic musical conversation. A rich atmosphere, both intimate and expansive, where improvisation plays a central role.
SPLIT BRAIN presents an innovative fusion of thrash and death metal. The band stands out by using French for their lyrics, which gives their music a unique lyrical dimension and a strong cultural grounding.
« Ecrasés par notre héritage » was recorded with spontaneous live takes and in analog at Studio 180 with Arnaud Bascuñana (Damien Saez, Matthieu Chédid, Les Wampas, United Guitars), the band focused on details, surprises, and extraordinary arrangements.

QUATRE - L'ALBUM SANS FIN - PART.1
Get out the lassos and get ready to ride the absurd with BAGDAD RODEO! The super independent rock band presents “QUATRE – L’ALBUM SANS FIN – PART 1”: a wild musical experience that takes us into a whirlwind of social satire and caustic humor. Sensitive ears abstain because here, we chew neither words nor riffs. It is direct, frank and in good humor.
Natural Element Quartet present Premier Élément, the first album of the Parisian quartet composed by Clément Thirion (double bass), Franck Morin (piano), Renaud Védie (guitar) and Patrick Chenais (drums). Natural Element Quartet offers a mosaic of harmonies, elegantly fusing jazz hues, contemporary nuances, and improvised accents.
Singer-songwriter-guitarist Paul Péchenart, co-founder of the Dogs, talks about cities, relationships, travel, questioning and astonishment. If «Mon coin de ciel» were a film, it would be classified in dramatic comedies where the lightness of images meets darker atmospheres.
A sensitive rock album. Here, the emotional context is tinged with melancholy but also sunny enthusiasm.
Ni!L presents the album “Saṃsāra”, cathartic work for the duo from the Southwest: «home-made» that sounds strong, indie-rock that does good. A stoner rock album, a little garage and grunge, sung in French.
the saṃsāra is a reflection of a thirst for existence, of successive rebirths. The 10 titles are stages of an unending journey where everyone meets the ups and downs of life, while seeking liberation. Cycles of suffering and rebirth follow.
