Biography

Durmenach, Alsace, France
French producer Catalepsia aka Jérome Bazzanella has been around since the early days of the French house / techno scene in the mid-nineties. Starting out as a promoter in France, Germany and Switzerland he quickly drifted into djing and production. His roots firmly anchored in Manchester post-punk / Chicago house and detroit techno, his eclectic output burst with roughness and indie spirit. Now based in London, he runs his own label Métis recordings and is part of the Brixton based collective/label Days Of Being Wild. Remixed by artists such as Nam Gabo, Hardway Bros or Area, Catalepsia has earned respect from his peers for his uncompromising, to the floor, funked up techno/ house production. dayofbeingwild.corp AT gmail DOT com

New 10" Vinyl "Les Seigneurs" inclunding Naum Gabo remix at Juno Records


This cut by DOBW's co-funder Jerome "Catalepsia" Bazzanella, is a straight and heavy on the floor slice of futuristic techno, constructed around a cyclic discoid baseline. As distressing sci-fi effects collides and crash into each other, a dehumanized vocoded voice enunciates random numbers. Scary.

Jenifer Cardini: Love the Naum Gabo remix !

On the B-side, we find a remix by mighty scottish duo James Savage and Jonnie Wilkes known as Naum Gabo.

Naum Gabo's varied palette of sounds - noir-ish hybrids of seminal underground house, muscular arrpegiated italo, dubby cosmic atmospherics, jagged percussion of new-wave discotheque, analogue synthesized funk - has been distinguished by releases on Kompakt, Cross Town Rebels, Eskimo Recordings and Endless Flight, releases with which the duo have built a reputation as purveyors of the high quality electronic music and production.

For their remix of "Les Seigneurs" by Catalepsia, Naum Gabo have completely re-built the electronic rhythm and brought it fully into the forefront, creating a solid bass spine for the track, layering jacking hi-hats and hand claps. Naum Gabo retain the originals spectral, fluttering keyboard signatures, re-calibrating the atmospherics into a muscular slice of a soundtrack perfect for any dark-room rave.
