[LEET 003] Cabanne – The Owls Are Not What They Seem EP


Time to clean the dust off your record players kids, there is a shiny new vinyl coming to town by non other than Cabanne, without doubt one of the most skilled house and techno artists of our time! Jean-Guillaume Cabanne owns a solid education as a Jazz musician and used to hold the guitar in various Paris underground funk bands.

He now has a solid 10 year experience as a DJ and live musician, touring around the world’s most reknown clubs and occasionally participating in improvised jams with Ark, Thomas Brinkmann, Daniel Bell, Audio Werner and most notoriously the Narod Niki live project initiated by Ricardo Villalobos. Cabanne also likes to engage in group activities, most noticeably with Ark as Copacabannark, with David Gluck as Ultrakurt or with John Thomas for his Blackstage project.

After countless releases on labels like Logistic, Perlon, Karat, 7th City, and his own Minibar and Telegraph, we are proud to present his latest work called ‚The owls are not what they seem‘. As soon as the first track ‚Gredingotte‘ starts, you will instantly notice the typical Cabanne style. Ass shaking beats with funky percussions, melodic bits and pieces on top of mystic pads and deep subs. Sprincled with vocal samples surrounded by an array of hats and toms, the A side is a leet club track, ready to hit the unwashed raving masses! The second track ‚Maki De Sade‘ is deep, spaced out and super trippy. A warped melody wandering through your speakers and fading into twisted cuts and freaky noises. Pure afterhour madness and the perfect B-side track.
