French by way of Berlin DJ/producer La Fraicheur finally delivers with a first 9-track
album, Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, her first release on the InFiné label.
This remarkably dense, dancefloor-oriented album oscillates between techno,
ambient and electronic music, a mesmeric yet pounding effort that gets the body and
the mind moving. Gone and The Movements, the most vindictive and propulsive
tracks are veritable ecstatic missiles that are sure to create aftershocks on
dancefloors for months to come.
While this album was primarily produced in Berlin, where La Fraicheur has been
living for the past six years, it also owes a debt to Detroit. Over the summer of 2017,
the young woman was privy to a six-week residence at Underground Resistance
mythical studios. There, she alternated between immersive work sessions,
surrounded by the machine that birthed some of techno culture’s most iconic tracks,
and long bike ride among the city’s deserted highways and luxuriating abandoned
gardens. She also met Mike Banks, the label’s mythical figure: «one of the most
important meetings in my life.» She ventured into the adjacent General Motors
Fisher Plant to record takes, which make up the raw material for the track «Plant
21».
The musician has been making strides in the electronic sphere for over ten years
now, at first solely as a DJ, and then as a producer. Having been initiated to the art of
mixing since her teenage years, she absorbed a number of music styles before
focusing on house and techno, which her older sister introduced her to by taking her
to clubs such as Le Pulp. At the beginning of the 2000s, she played regular set in
Paris and elsewhere |
