Fréquence(s)

Description

It was high time for the French Techno prodigy Madben to release his first long-form album, and it is a magnificently successful attempt, accompanied by Laurent Garnier, Manu le Malin, and Rebeka Warrior (Sexy Sushi). In a climate of high pressure for the global dancefloor, the new generation of techno producers fueling this vitality carries a duty within them: to thank the pioneers by deconstructing their work. At this game, Madben is one of the best. An enlightened guardian of the rave spirit, a fixture of the tasteful Astropolis house, he has already been seen playing across Europe as well as at major festivals like Marsatac, Piknic Elektronik, Panoramas, and Les Trans Musicales, not to mention his numerous incursions into the best labels on the old continent and his many remixes. All that remained was to produce and succeed with a first album of music that is stubborn to tame in long format. Is Fréquence(s) a techno album? Above all, it is an album of music that forbids itself nothing. A splendid path to salvation for this music, which deserves to stay young as long as possible, and of which Madben is one of the most relevant architects.
