  the whole biography

  Spending the past few years honing his sound and technique, Bambounou, a key figure in the Parisian scene, has gained his position from his genre bending and jubilant electronic music productions and laying down solid freight train DJ sets around the globe. Born Jeremy Guindo, Bambounou is the product of vast internal landscape where he roves freely in search of inspiration. Just as his alloyed French-Malian-Polish background has grown him a strong backbone of musical independence, so too has his love for astrophysics and dystopian sci-fi been distilled into futuristic interpretations UK techno, IDM and tribal sources. His effortless straddling of experimental eclecticism and 4x4 beat mastery helped Bambounou to early on catch the eye of Modeselektor, whose 50Weapons released two albums and five EPs of his axiom breaking dance incantations. Bambounou’s originality and craftsmanship has earned him some first rate remixes with the likes of Laurent Garnier, Jessy Lanza and Sampha. Collaborations with Margaret Dygas and Simo Cell also demonstrated his ability to innovate both creatively and technically. Add to this his experience ratcheting up the dance floors of some of the world’s best locations like Berghain/Panorama Bar, Concrete, De School, Freerotation, MoMA PS1 and Nuits Sonores and it should come as no surprise that Bambounou’s upcoming releases are being served with a healthy dose of anticipation.

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Born in Diadema, greater São Paulo, it was in Londrina where Roniere Santos actually began his DJ career in 2010. From his experience in the neighborhood came the influence of Brazilian rhythms and syncopated elements. RHR, now based in São Paulo, takes a careful look at his ideas in electronic music. Hence the invitation for a monthly residency on French radio Rinse FM with the program “Som Sistema”. Defined by himself: percussive soundscapes form the combination that is gaining more and more space in the music scene in Brazil and around the world. Always seeking to understand the stimuli of São Paulo, the artist continues to expose research in multiple genres such as techno, bass, dancehall, electro, baile funk. He has participated in line ups such as Mamba Negra, Tantsa, Dekmantel Festival SP, ODD, Gop Tun Festival and DGTL SP. One of the highlights of RHR's career was his debut at Boiler Room São Paulo in August 2022. With five solo EPs released and one in partnership with North American Danny Daze, Roniere is preparing for a new release where he intends to share his artistic talents even more. In addition to partnerships with labels such as Omnidisc, Pac Recs and Nice and Deadly, RHR is an integral part of the NY-based label TIJOLO Records. Recognized for the precision of transitions and the creativity behind the choices made, RHR illustrates like few others the discomfort with the obvious. The ability to reinvent yourself in the midst of a wave of creative burnout makes RHR a potentially liberating force. All this without losing the artist’s characteristics, references and ideas. We can say that RHR has achieved everything without giving up anything.
