about

First Word Records is proud to present a new full-length project from Souleance!

Following on from 2013's acclaimed 'La Beat Tape', the Parisian duo return for 2019 with 'French Cassette'.

As well as the recent single 'François / 'Sète' (both included), we have 25 new tracks dedicated to all things Français. This mixtape opus is a true labour of love; A French voyage through time and genres, as Soulist and Fulgeance like to do. Each track is purposefully named after various French clichés; characteristics, phrases and places. You'll excuse our French, and check those out for yourselves..

'French Cassette' is comprised of an array of noises from various French composers; from boogie, to jazz, to sound libraries, to chansons. Cinematically sultry sounds, with a lot of funk; where Brigitte Fontaine meets François de Roubaix in a back alley somewhere near the film set of Calmos, whilst pumping out the soundtrack to La Haine. A little moody, a little sexy, a little rough around the edges.

Whilst the film noir-esque interludes accentuate the theme, Souleance's unmistakable grooves ride throughout, with a symphony of synths and scratches, beats and basslines. This is undeniably, unashamedly a celebration. Boom bap and breaks, all flavoured with a healthy layer of "je ne sais quoi".

The first single received love from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Tom Ravenscroft, Jazzanova, Huey Morgan, Bill Brewster, Kev Beadle, Hector Plimmer, Red Rack'em (Rinse), ThrisTian (Worldwide FM) and Chris P Cuts (NTS). Meanwhile, the duo recently spun special sessions for Laid Back Radio and Le Mellotron, as well as their numerous DJ sets and live shows across Europe, and recently self-releasing another mixtape tribute, dedicated to the late great Galt McDermot, and featured on Okayplayer. The Souleance saga continues. Vive la France!!

Its impossible to choose 1 track The whole Album is 🔥.. I love respect & truly appreciate this band. They are both extremely gifted & most definitely belong alongside each other. They made my last 2 years. First time seeing them live in London on the 19th May 2021. I have all their albums now. Bless you both neviah
