Is it the tickling of the cerebral cortex or the sound of the wind in the treetops? Is it the Earwig in the ear or the ear put on the Earwig kingdom? Acoustic ecology or acoustic imagination inventing new worlds? Underwater communities poured into the left ear. Gigantic anthills poured into the right ear. What a wonderful world that will soon be completely silent.

Hi, I’m Grégoire from Musique Muscle.

The new LP of one of my favorite artist in Barcelona.
Perfect in all circumstances.

Middle age music for shy people.
Arkanar - les cris de Mélusine (Le Syndicat des Scorpions)

It’s unclassifiable but I like to say it’s « ambient pop ».
Attention Le Tapis Prend Feu - potion vadrouille (AB Records)
I’m in love with this band.
A narrative story made with perfect pop music.
The first album of the new project of my friend Yanka.
Psychedelic trap-pop for romantic smokers.

Happy disco for sensitive people.
Clara Le Meur - hier à la plage (Le Syndicat des scorpions)
It’s not release yet but soon.
The first solo album of Clara from the band Campagne.
It sounds sweet and melancholic.
A new track of Losange.
A kind of video game track to rescue princesses.
Saint-Gilles Reggae Club (Radio Béguin)
To finish this is a selection of mixtapes I made for the webradio Radio Béguin to promote my love for
Reggae music and its derivatives.
