Actually, this Frenchman’s plan was to become more “sensible", well he is in his 30’s, has a family and a regular job….He used to be a punk who one day or night, discovered the 4/4 nightlife, which never really let him go again. He has always produced music as a passion and not with the goal of actually living from it. That, of course, is a good thing for a musician, it means that there’s no pressure, he can take his time without compromising his work. So, as his music began to develop and become better and better on the side, in 2007 he began to take his music more seriously. He runs the labels “Time has changed” and “Time is now” and as Acumen nonchalantly leans toward the career ladder instead of scratching at the bottom step, electronic gurus like Richie Hawtin have described him as the “Newcomer of the year". We are especially pleased about his release on Upon You. The two beautiful tracks “Firmament” and “Middle” will be complimented by an exclusive Digital version called “Modus", how does that sound?
