Parisien DJ and producer I:Cube is one of the greatest talents on the international electronic circuit, thanks in the main to a sound that's described of a conflagration of “concrete” music, dub and electronica. Listen to a mix by the hot talent here...
Hailed as the “Master of Abstract“, producer and DJ Nicolas Chaix aka I:Cube has played a major role in the french electronic scene over the past ten years. From an early age, I:Cube was influenced by an erratic mixture of sources. He grew up without a TV and so found entertainment by tuning into alternative Parisien radio stations. His musical curiosity was heightened even further when he became exposed to sound clips from “laboratoire radiophonique“ from France Culture.
He is the mastermind behind quite a few essential 12"s and albums and he's also got an impressive string of remixes under his belt. His first widely notable release under the I:Cube pseudonym was a remix of
Daft Punk’s Around the Worldin 1996.
Nicolas is also one half of the superb Chateau Flight outfit, teaming up with his partner in crime - who goes by the name of Gilb'r (and who also runs the Versatile imprint). Nicolas manages to cater to a wide a range of musical tastes fusing deepest Technosoul, bottom-heavy dope beats and abstract house runnings to create his inimitable I:Cube sound. He's an incredible talent hidden behind the ghosts in his machines.
For this Trainwreck Mix from Red Bull Music Academy Radio he dips deep into 80's electronica, Italo disco and some of his own tracks and special edits...
