Rone

In a 12 year career, Erwan Castex aka RONE has established himself as a major talent on the French electronic music scene.

With  six  studio  albums  on  the  Parisian  label  InFiné  and  numerous  collaborations  (Saul Williams, The National, John Stanier, Kazu Makino, Georgia, Jean-Michel Jarre, Jehnny Beth, Etienne Daho, Yael Naim, film director Michel Gondry, or science fiction writer Alain Damasio...), RONE has been able to constantly step out of his comfort zone by going beyond the boundaries of electronic music. 

At the beginning of 2017, he filled the Philharmonie de Paris for a unique and singular creation, which made him win the Prix des Indés (Indie Award) in the Live category. At the end of 2018, during the web & television series “Variations“, RONE surprised the audience by offering a rereading of works by the great British composer Benjamin Britten, accompanied on stage by the Maîtrise de Radio France and its choir director Sofi Jeannin.

In  2019,  RONE  records  “Motion“,  a  12-minute  electro-classical  piece  in  which  the  dreamy arpeggios of his machines blend perfectly with the sound of the instruments of  the  85  classical  musicians  of  the  orchestra  Les  Siècles  conducted  by  François-Xavier Roth.

Invited by the renowned Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris for a carte blanche in the spring of  2020,  RONE  and  the  collective  (LA)HORDE  present  the  music  and  dance  piece  “Room With A View“ with 20 dancers from the Ballet National de Marseille. This was followed by the release of “Room With A View“, his fifth entirely instrumental album. During  the  long  weeks  of  lockdown  and  at  the  time  of  social  distancing,  RONE  decides to launch the “Rone & Friends“ project, by inviting 14 artist friends to put their voices on his compositions. One month before the release of the album, RONE won the César for the best soundtrack for the film “La Nuit Venue“, which marked his entry into cinema. More recently, his soundtrack for Jacques Audiard’s film “Les Olympiades“ was selected for the César 2022.

February 9, 2022 – Rone will tour North America this coming June, with a series of concerts kicking off on June 10th in Vancouver and ending on June 23rd in Washington DC.
 
The French electronic music producer Rone was born Erwan Castex in 1980 near Paris. Spotted by the InFiné label, Rone released his debut 'Spanish Breakfast' to critical acclaim in 2009 and has since released another 6 studio albums,exploring a sound that Pitchfork described as &quot;Existing somewhere in the intersection points of an imagined venn diagram between dance-y beatmaking, ambient composition, and neon-tinted synth-driven film scores”. A climate activist, Rone has collaborated to the short film “Nature Now” featuring Greta Thunberg and tackled civilizational collapse with his 2020 album “Room With A View”.
 
Throughout his career, Rone has demonstrated an ability to combine his music with other art forms such as literature with Alain Damasio, photography with Stéphane Couturier or contemporary dance with the collective (LA)HORDE. As for moving images, he composed the soundtracks of 3 of Vladimir Mavounia-Kouka’s animated films and in 2020, he won the French Academy Award Cesar for Best Original Score for his work on Frédéric Farrucci’s &quot;Night Ride”. His second soundtrack is for Jacques Audiard ́s &quot;Paris, 13th District”, which will see release in US theaters this spring.

At the core of Bottler’s diverse, multifaceted output is a foundation built on a brotherhood of sorts. The New York-based duo, Pat Butler and Phil Shore, are childhood friends whose bond is akin to that of blood relatives. Their parents are best friends and they grew up side by side, developing their deep love for music together; sharing discoveries and inspirations, learning to play and perform, and nurturing their creativity together. Now formally ordained as Bottler, they channel their eclectic tastes into a sound that encapsulates the love and trust that forms the foundation of the friendship. The duo blend a myriad styles to create songs that emanate warmth, joy, sorrow, pain and the full spectrum of human emotion. It’s electronic music inspired by a broad range of artists, all connected by their liberated approach to production. Bold, unpretentious, raw, dynamic and highly creative, Bottler are a formidable duo poised to ignite the dance floor with their kaleidoscopic collection of sounds.

Both classically trained on the piano (Pat learned from his piano teacher father, who also taught Phil), Bottler have strong grounding in music theory and practice. As kids they started out trying to imitate the Beastie Boys, before moving on to experimenting with synths in Pat’s parents’ basement to eventually forming their own musical identity in their teens.

Time spent playing in bands gave them the necessary skills to perform on stage, and channel their formal training into composing their own songs.Along the way, groups such as Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Queens Of The Stone Age, Nirvana, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and many others, have each left an indelible imprint on the duo’s appreciation of music. For Pat and Phil the legacy of these groups lies in their ethos and approach to making music, more so than the idiosyncrasy of their sound. Meanwhile, acts like Orbital and The Flaming Lips, have also been critical in shaping Bottler’s output.

Encoding a number of influences and cultural references into their productions, honouring their musical upbringing and embracing diversity is central to the duo’s vision. Most pertinent is the notion of self-acceptance. In a world where the dominance of limiting categorisation is still present, it can be impossible to establish a diverse sound. Yet, Bottler have pushed past genre boundaries to draw from their broad palette and express themselves through the lens of their extensive history. Learning to play music from the same teacher means the duo speak the same musical language and their longstanding friendship has led to an unspoken level of communication. These two key aspects of their production partnership fuel their jam sessions, providing a solid foundation from which they can create freely. The result is a catalogue of releases that traverse a myriad styles, from straight up house to indie, uplifting psychedelic rock, new wave and much more. A strong thread of deep emotion and universal appeal runs through their music, no matter what the style. There’s an ambiguity to Bottler’s productions, open to interpretation and full of vigour, rawness and vibrancy. Pat’s singing and songwriting,
combined with Phil’s precision and eye for detail, culminates in songs that feel as though they were recorded by a four-piece band. A full and rich sound, destined to envelop crowds in its depth of emotion.

Cuts such as ‘Cambrian’ and ‘Nobody Likes Me’ demonstrate their singular, yet expansive approach. Taking cues from a mood board that is full of bright colours and sombre tones, the duo’s discography includes their definitive releases with French alternative electronica specialists InFiné. Alongside their EPs, Bottler have also channeled their energy into a debut album Journey Work. Th rough the LP, which has been five years in the making, they experienced the overwhelming challenge such a milestone project can present. Personal troubles, self-criticism and self-doubt, impatience, along with moments of joy and inspiration, success and shared elation. Journey Work marks a key period of growth for the duo, personally, creatively and spiritually.

Through committing to such a pivotal project, they endured the best and worst aspects of the creative process. As a result they learned more about themselves, matured as artists and refined their approach. Now primed to embark on the next phase of their musical exploits, Pat and Phil are equipped with a renewed outlook, where they continue to distill a multitude of influences into their distinct sonic identity. With their vision set firmly on incorporating their band experience into a live show, and more beautifully eclectic music cued up ready to rouse the dance floor, Bottler stand at the precipice of greatness...

Marivs is one of the few true techno artists that represents the Toronto underground scene.

Born and raised in a town called Baia Mare in the mystical land of Transylvania, part of today's Romania, he first became dazzled by electronic music in the early 90s.  After a few years of his own musical exploration, he began DJing for a local radio show, which was dedicated to showcasing the best electronic music he could get his hands on.  That's where he played with two decks and a mixer for the first time.  Soon thereafter he was granted several placements in the clubs and festivals in his birth country, and he also began producing music, under the moniker Morris Newtone.

It wouldn't be a stretch to credit Marivs - then Morris Newtone - with instituting the techno scene in his hometown in Romania.  At that time Marivs, alongside his then DJ partner ALCA, held a residency at one of the largest dance clubs in Baia Mare, wherein he was given enough free rein on the music he selected that he was able to truly demonstrate to his town what he believed dance music should sound like.  And under the club's requisite of maintaining an energetic dancefloor at all times, Marivs quickly became adept at selecting and mixing tracks under pressure in order to produce that perpetual groove that he's known so well for today.

Marivs relocated to Toronto, Canada in 2013 and continued to pursue his lifetime passion - the art of techno in its purest form - for the first time as 'Marivs,' which is the original Latin form of his birth name.

Behind the decks, Marivs's presence is commanding yet inviting, in a similar way that his selections are dark and driving, yet delicate.  A perfectionist and a purist, Marivs has an innate ability to manipulate his music like few others can, whether the medium is analogue or digital.  He tells a story with each set that is so captivating that guests on his dancefloor have actually been cited as saying, "I didn't even know I liked techno until now."

Today, Marivs is still viewed as a techno authority, not just with his DJ performances and productions, but also with his side promotion project Kaleidoscope, which is yet another avenue for him to show people what techno looks like through his eyes.

In his words: "Music shouldn't wake you up. It should make you dream."

Marivs's productions have been released on labels such as Architextures (CA), Fly High Records (UK) and Skills Records (RO).

Les Louanges

Doors 7:00 Show 8:00 PM
 
Pre-Sale: May 3 10AM EST &amp; May 4 10AM EST
On Sale: May 5 12PM EST
 
Les Louanges is the project of Vincent Roberge, singer-songwriter of raw talent and established musical audacity. Originally from Lévis, Vincent Roberge hits hard with the release of his first album, La nuit est une panthère, which charmed critics upon its release in September 2018. The album continued to gain momentum in 2019 as it was celebrated with numerous awards and nominations, notably honored with a spot on the very selective Polaris Prize short list, a Félix-Leclerc and Rapsat-Lelièvre award, as well as a Juno for Francophone Album of the Year, and the coveted title of Révélation Radio-Canada. To top it all off, he went on to win three trophies at the ADISQ Gala: Album of the Year - Alternative, Album of the Year - Critics' Choice and Arrangements of the Year (an award shared with his sidekick Félix Petit). Announcing a shift towards a greater pop influence, while still remaining as ambitious and inventive, Les Louanges now presents his sophomore album, Crash. This new effort represents the aftermath of the impact, the dizzying yet revealing imbalance experienced by its author following the frenzy of the last three years.
