I made an EP!

Hey everyone, hope you're all having a lovely week-end. I recently did a lo-fi house EP as a commission for a licensing company, it's not out yet but I thought some of you guys might appreciate an early listen. 🙂 Love y'all<3

Free stuff<3

In this post I will be listing a whole bunch of audio tools you can get for free. I've stumbled upon quite a few of these when building my plug-in arsenal over the past couple of years and I though it could be useful to some of you! Alright let's do it :

- Spitfire Audio : These guys are absolutely amazing and offer high quality VSTs and sample packs. They sampled the whole BBC Symphony Or...

All The Tigers Guitar Tab

Here is the Guitar Tab for my track All The Tigers, whose guitar part is played in Open C tuning. Alternate tunings are a great way to come up with new ideas and voicings as you can't rely on muscle memory as much. It's a challenging and often rewarding exercise. ✨ Anyway have fun with the tab!

All The Tigers Multitrack

Here is the Multitrack Recording of my track All The Tigers. Feel free to do whatever you want with it, providing it's not for commercial use. If you do want to use it for commercial stuff, hit me up in private and we can talk about it!

I Need A Forest Fire Multitrack

Here is the Multitrack Recording of my James Blake cover. Feel free to do whatever you want with it, providing it's not for commercial use (especially as it falls under copyright). 

First Livestream Incoming!

Hey boys and girls, I hope you're having a lovely Sunday. ✨ In a couple hour I will go live on Youtube for a little livestream, my first ever on the channel! This one is probably going to be a messy blend of improvised music, Q&A and technical issues but it should be fun so come hang out<3

I set up a countdown in my Instagram stories or alternatively you can hit the notification bell on my 2022-03-06 12:56:34 +0000 UTC View Post

The first Q&A video is out!

Thanks again to everyone in the Rainbow & Rainforest tiers for sending questions last month. I'll collect new questions in March for the second Q&A video which will be available somewhere in April. Have a lovely week-end guys<3 

New Single Preview

Hey guys, hope you had a great week! I'll be releasing a new single in a couple weeks and I thought I could share a little preview with you<3 It's a pretty classic lo-fi track with a nostalgic Anderson .Paak vibe, I'm quite happy with the production on this one. If you want you can pre-save it on Spotify here! This helps a lot. ✨ Anyway have a wonderful week-end everyone!

Happy New Year + Quick Patreon Update

Hey everyone, I wanted to thank you all for your precious support and wish you a Happy New Year 2022!

Following the poll we had a couple weeks ago, there will be some small changes made to the Patreon formula starting this month. The poll result was not unanimous so I decided to split the difference :

- there won't be new Sample Packs in the foreseeable future, instead I'll release a new Q&A video e...

Replacing the Sample Packs with some other stuff?

Hey everyone, I hope you're all enjoying the holiday season, wherever you are<3 Today I need your inputs, I'm considering removing the Sample Pack benefit from the Rainforest tier and I was wondering if that would be okay with you? Is there anything you would like to see instead?

To be completely transparent, I'm currently working on the 10th Sample Pack and it has become a bit exhausting for me to artificially come up with new sounds all the time. These days I'm cre...

New Stuff Sneak Peek

Hey, hope you guys are doing good<3 I'm about to do something new and quite scary on the channel : sing in front of the camera! I've been hugely inspired by the energy in the new Dijon album and its companion performances. There's something super raw in that project that reignited my love ...

Hey, this is my face. 🐨

Hey everyone, I'm going to start uploading my jams in this new format on Instagram and Tik Tok to comply with their vertical ratio. My face will now be visible along with my shiny little machines and I thought I could share this here as well, just in case some of you don't follow me on there. Not that it really matters but it feels right...

Random Jam #45 Sneak Peek

Hey everyone, here's a little sneak peek of the new jam I recorded yesterday. For once I thought it would be cool to share the "dry" version with you. This is the basic mix I have in my ears when I'm performing, with just some EQ and a smidge of reverb for comfort. The video should drop this Sunday. Now onto the mix and mastering!

Oh and just a quick update on the Patreon content : I've been behind schedule these past few weeks, sorry about that. This month Sample Pack should be availab...

Random Jam #40 Sneak Peek

Hey guys, here's a little sneak peek at the next Random Jam which will drop on Friday. The mix is almost done and I think it's going sound pretty cool. The arrangement is a bit different from my usual stuff, I don't have any guitar on this one(!) and I brought back some vocal chops. See you on Friday for the full version<3 

Random Jam #37 Sneak Peek

Hey guys! After three month of moving around houses I finally settled down a little and started to record some new Random Jams<3 To thank you all for your patience, here's a little sneak peek at the new one which will drop on Friday.

This month's Jam Breakdown video will be about this one so it will probably drop shortly after the release, hopefully this week-end. Anyway have a great day everyone!

Extra Tasty Sample Pack [Perfect Circuit giveaway]

Hey everyone, here's the new sample pack. This one is a bit special, it's part of a collaboration I made with Perfect Circuit and Elektron. We are giving a Digitakt away(!) and I made this sample pack to promote the whole event. It will be available for everyone for free, which is not very fair for the people in the £10 tier. I'm sorry about this, there was a small misunderstanding with the guys at Perfect Circuit (I initially thought the pack would be available for a limited number of peopl...

Microgroove #5 Sneak Peek

Hey everyone, here's a short bit from next week's Microgroove video. Before France went into lockdown again I raided my local thrift store and stumbled into some great records, one of them was the Sacco e Vanzetti OST by Ennio Morricone featuring some vocals by Joan Baez. I never heard anything about this before but dang, it's really great! I ended up sampling that track and I think it's probably my best Microgroove...

Microgroove #4 Sneak Peek

Hey guys, hope you're all safe and well. I just finished mixing/mastering this week's jam, here's a short clip from the outro. This time I sampled some Deafheaven, any black metal/shoegaze listeners around here?<3

Microgroove #3 Sneak Peek

Hey guys, here's a short clip from this week's Microgroove video. I sampled some old jazz record and ended up with some super dusty lo-fi hip-hop. The mix still needs some work but I think it's going to be pretty sweet. The full version will drop on Youtube this Friday so stay tuned, and have a lovely week<3

What do you want to see in May's Jam Breakdown video?

Hey everyone, as you have probably noticed by now, the Random Jams are on hold for a bit, mostly because I'm currently moving into a new place and I don't have enough space for those. Before leaving I shot one more Jam Breakdown video (about the Random Jam #35 and how MIDI-looping works), it will be out at the beginning of April.

My question is what do you want to see in May's video? I recently started a 2021-03-27 18:26:58 +0000 UTC View Post

First look at my new video series<3

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing great! As I mentioned before, the Random Jams are on hold for a few weeks but there's still a bunch of stuff on the wayyy. I'm switching to a smaller setup, the idea is to sample some vinyl on the fly and turn them into short hip-hop beats. I'm shooting the first one tomorrow! The picture above is from a quick video test I made yesterday, any thoughts? 

Once again, I really want to thank you all for being here. This series is most likely going ...

Random Jam #36 Sneak Peek

Hey guys, here's a bit from the upcoming jam. This one will drop next week and will most likely be the last Random Jam for a while! I'm moving abroad very soon and won't have access to a proper studio for a month or two. The video format will change a bit but stay tuned, I've got some cool stuff on the way<3

Random Jam #35 Sneak Peek

Hey guys, hope you're all safe and well, and welcome to the newcomers! Here's a super rough demo of the next jam I'll be recording this week. It's a bit out there for me, more on the trip-hop side I guess? Anyway, time for rehearsal!

New Stuff Sneak Peek

Happy New Year everyone! Thanks a billion time for your support last year, it made those weird times a lot more enjoyable and thanks to you guy I feel like I'm slowly getting closer to being a full-time musician/youtuber/whatever, which feels very good<3

Here is a sneak peek at the first video I'll be releasing this year, and it's actually a cover, woohoo! I've been wanting to do this for a long time and I'm pretty happy with the result. Can anyone recognize the song? If not, tune in...

A little Christmas gift for you guys<3

Merry Christmas everyone! 

To thank you all for your incredible support I put together a little sample pack with some of my favourite samples I made this year. You can do whatever you want with them.

They're all part of the regular Patreon sample packs so yeah, sorry people from the £10 tier, you won't find anything unusual in there<3 That said the January pack is almost ready and I think it's a good one so stay tuned! Anyway, enjoy the holiday season, love y'all.

Random Jam #30 Sneak Peek

Hey everyone, hope you're doing great! Here is a short Sneak Peek at the new Random Jam which will be released tomorrow. Can't believe this is the 30th alreadyyy.

If you want you can catch the premiere tomorrow on my Youtube channel. It will be a tiny bit later than usual, 6pm UK time which falls somewhere in the morning for our american friends and somewhere in the middle of the night for Asia (sorry about this!).

Also welcome to all the newcomers! Your support means a lot and I ...

Some cool stuff I'm working on & a question for you.

Hello everyone, hope you're safe and well<3

I recently got a bit more into "regular beatmaking" because I suddenly had a whole lot of VSTs that happened to be super inspiring. I'm planning on putting beats for sale on my Youtube channel very soon and I thought I would share my first creations with you guys!

Patreon will only let me stream 1 audio file per post so here are the three other demos :

Random Jam #28 Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek of the next jam! I don't want to brag or anything but I think this might be my best one yet, aha. I'm really happy with it and can't wait to share the full version with you guys. If you wanna catch the premiere, it's going to be on Friday at 5pm UK time. Love y'all<3

Random Jam #27 Sneak Peek

Here is an unmastered sneak peek at the next jam! The full version will be released on Youtube this Friday. The video will premiere at 5pm UK time so come hang out if you want to chat about music and stuff<3

A closer look at my guitar tone

While doing all those guitar samples for the last Sample Pack I thought it would be cool to show you guys how I process my guitar signal. I'm not a "tone expert" at all but it's something I get asked a lot on Youtube so hopefully it will be useful to some of the guitarists around here.

First of all, I don't use any amplifier. My guitar signal usually goes through some effects (ZOIA, Pralines, etc.) then into my looper (Ditto X4 or Octatrack) and finally straight into my Focusrite Scarle...
