Naïve indulges following an intense end to 2010, which saw A-Trak, Zdar Cassius and Busy P crammed into an Arches one night stand. In the first of a series of four Art School parties we celebrate the filtered French Touch sound with performances from two of the genre’s most significant artists, Fred Falke and DJ Falcon. The Gallic pairing will soak the Art School’s Assembly Hall in filtered bass and erotic synths; follow the French example and touch yourself.
A man of many side projects and even more collaborations, Fred Falke certainly gets around. Falke’s career has developed from working alongside fellow French House luminaries Alan Braxe and Kris Menace to reputedly forming part of the mystery Monarchy and Vandroid production groups. Always looking to experiment and never happy with just one production partner, he’s currently steaming up the studio with Scotland’s own BURNS, coming together for the anthemic ‘You Stopped Loving Me’ and soon to be released ‘First Move’. Rarely performing live, Naïve truly appreciates Falke’s appearance. Blending live bass guitar with Ableton, his performances have a unique quality to them unmatched elsewhere.
Over his career DJ Falcon has placed quality before quantity, with a scarcity of releases but an undoubtedly impressive influence over the French Touch movement. A long time collaborator with Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter, Falcon released on the pioneering Roulé label before working with Bangalter as one half of Together, producing tracks such as ‘So Much Love to Give’, ‘Together’ and ‘Call on Me’ (samples cleared and released by Eric Prydz). Reportedly returning to the studio, potentially with cousin Alan Braxe, Falcon isn’t simply a Franco Funk throwback but an artist with the potential to remerge in style.
