CHATEAU BRUYANT VOL.1
VARIOUS ARTISTS
We re one year old ! Or so…
Our first official release was one year ago, soon followed by a dirty dozen of fine bass Eps we have been very proud to promote, with artists such as Tambour Battant, Zimo, The Unik, Niveau Zero, Habstrakt, Broad Rush, Brown and Gammon, Addergebroed, MC2, Baxter Beez, Flore…
From Dubstep to Tropical House to Glitch Hop, we’re glad to represent a wide range of subgenres, sharing a unique love for Bass !
So, we thought the timing was perfect to drop this first compilation. Mixing brand new unreleased material with previousy released stuff that we thought deserved a new focus, Château Bruyant Vol.1 is a first statement on what our label has to offer.
It’s also for us a unique occasion to welcome new artists on CBR. We’ve been following some of them for a while, and they all deserve much attention, so expect some more release from them (and others) on Château Bruyant in the months to come.
MC2 ‘Beat Em Up’ [CBR010] by Château bruyant records
1/ MC2 – Beat Em Up (Original Mix)
2/ MC2 – Feel Roll In’s (Original Mix)
3/ MC2 – Computer Slave (Original Mix)
Marseille’s glitch hop duet MC2 comes up this january with a wonder of an EP. Adding some dubstep in their glitch, Miosine and Ckel yet stick to their very own style : somewhere between yesterday’s electro funk, today’s bassmusic and tomorrow stuff. Beat Em up has all it takes to make a great track : classic synthlines, surprise at every drop, this EP is as eficient as beautiful.
Title track is an epic dubstep banger, based on a great melody supported by fat distorted basslines and surrounded by glitchy sounds and arps. Delightful. Feel Roll In is a drumstep glitch hop tribute to whom you know. As weird as it might seem, it does exactly what it says on the tin, while rockin any Phil Collins hater at his own surprise.
Asfor Computer Slave it s another glitch hop banger : bad bass, beautiful pads, nervous cuts, and another mad melody on second drop. It’s all about power and surprise.
Also watch the freebie that comes with the EP as this huge mash up of Infectious Groove classic Violent and Funky will please all 90s lovers.

SUCK MY JOYSTICK #1
La proposition, pas si indécente, vient du duo MC2, fleuron du glitch hop français. Mais ne vous méprenez surtout pas, aucune connotation graveleuse, il s’agit bien de joysticks, totems vibrants des hardcore gamerz.
Livers fous toujours a la recherche de nouvelles interfaces, MC2 a développé son propre patch, permettant d’utiliser le joystick d’une façon plutôt rock n’roll. De belles images valant mieux qu’on long discours, jetez plutôt un œil : SUCK MY JOYSTICK, épisode 1(à suivre).
SUCK MY JOYSTICK #1
Don’t get us wrong, it’s all about music, or better say ; playing music with joysticks (you know, those hardcore gamerz vibrating totems).
Obsessed with the need for new instruments, french glitch hop act MC2 engineered their own patch, letting them use joysticks as midi instruments, in a rather rock n’roll way. But let’s cut the crap and just watch this : SUCK MY JOYSTICK, episode 1(more will follow)
MC2 en live sur LCM
FRANÇAIS
Electro, hip-hop, dubstep, MC2 explore l’ensemble d’un spectre musical bien vivant, y apposant sa patte singulière: un goût du glitch et des mélodies, un engagement live sans concessions et une énergie qui tient autant du rock n roll que du hip-hop.
Le duo naît à Marseille en 2008, rencontre entre Ckel & Miosine, respectivement DJ et musicien plutôt versé dans l’expérimental. Un mélange qui fait des étincelles, swag et innovation allant aisément de paire. Leur son séduit vite : MC2 passe Missill, Nasser ou encore Tambour Battant à la moulinette glitch pour des remixes qui marquent les esprits. Un premier EP suit bientôt sur le label I.O.T., qui sonne comme une carte de visite pour le groupe : voix hip hop cutées, énorme beat futuriste, basses ronflantes et synthés funky : un modus operandi, une marque de fabrique.
Mais c’est en live que MC2 se révèle : deux performers au diapason, maniant claviers et joysticks comme d’autres les guitares, poussant le vice jusqu’aux solos. L’engagement est réel, l’énergie palpable : MC2 ne triche pas. Les réactions du public ne se font pas trop attendre et ce goût de la scène les propulse sur la route pour une première série de dates qui les emmène en 2011 jusqu’à Montréal (Les Pik Nik Electronik, Totem Festival).
ENGLISH
Hailing from Marseille, France, MC2 is an up and coming glitch hop duet. Playing live with joysticks and pads, they could easily be seen as a proper rock band. Their music is a blend of glitch hop, dubstep, idm and discrete yet strong mediterranean influences.
Miosine and Ckel started making music together in 2008 and quickly released remixes for the likes of Missil, Tambour Battant or Nasser on labels such as Boxon, Leonizer or Discograph.
In 2011 they released their first EP on Marseilles imprint I.O.T : Mc Slicing.
MC2 soon join the Château Bruyant Team alongside Tambour Battant, Niveau Zero, The Unik and Habstrakt, and are ready to launch some new glitch bombs, and perform furious live sets.
