Facteur
Whilst browsing the vast internet world for music, one never knows what gems will be found. They are always around, waiting to catch you by surprise and remain in your life, beating to the sound of it. So it goes, yet another talented DJ/producer from the South, Marseilles, France, is on the radar, Le Facteur.
At a young age, Simon, Le Facteur, began experimenting on a keyboard at the academy he attended. He explored many genres including, rock and roll, jazz, hip-hop and later, electronic music. Influenced by not one specific style of music, he enjoys what ignites the dancefloor and is an admirer of classic Swedish ‘chip-tune’ producer, Dubmood.
The entire ‘chiptune‘ world is pretty amazing with its digitized rythmns – Music created with video game synthesizer chips. We hear so much of this bleep and blip sound in a lot of the dance music out today – Crystal Castles being one of the more successful integrators of this video game sound. Although this style is a lot more popular in Europe, it has been growing in popularity in North America and I for one am quite keen on it!
Back to Facteur – He has created his own identity which embodies the perfect crossover between old and new school, with a choppy, cut up style that can be heard throughout his work, especially in “California”. Simon has played alongside notable acts such as, Detroit Gran Pubahs (poker flat), Orgasmic (Institubes), Terry Poison (ekler’o’shock), Strip Steve (Boyz Noise Rec), Detect (mental groove), Meisterfackt (Kitty yo), Leonard de Leonard (ekler’o’shock) – and has done an excellent remix of “Elephantizer”. Expect to hear a lot more coming out of Facteur, with more remixes, “Mr. SEIR – Cobra (Factor remix)” and a collaboration with Meisterfackt. Have a listen to his latest remix, of New Europeans, “Dr Rhythm”, which really brings this track to life and ready for the floor. Enjoy!!
