At a very young age, Rémy Tran became passionate about electronic music, which he considered more spiritual.

Benge - Micro Mountain
Ben Edwards is a composer, producer and collaborator, writing, recording, mixing and created his own studio: Memetune. I started working with him when he was doing Tennis (a duo with Douglas Benford from Sprawl Imprint) and released 2 albums on BiP_HOp. Later on I had pleasure following/supporting his Expanding label and his playing more and more beautiful Vintage synths…

Ben Carey - Some Energy Is Always Lost
Ben Carey is a Sydney-based composer, improviser and educator. He makes electronic music using the modular synthesiser, develops interactive music software and creates audio-visual works. Ben’s research and practice is concerned with musical interactivity, generativity and the delicate dance between human and machine agencies in composition and performance.

Thomas Dupouy - 294
Thomas Dupouy studied graphic design and sound art in France. He left to work in Canada and rediscovered the "petanque" game and his Frenchness. In Montreal he worked for Montreal Assembly (guitar effects) and Analogix a synthesizer repair shop. On his return to France he opened Synththomas in Reims, a workshop for the design and repair of analogue synthesizers and joined the Sonopopée collective, which is a group of artist-musicians thinking about interactivity and new lutheries.

Batchas - The jungle in my brain [Part 1]
Batchas - The jungle in my brain [Part 2]

"While our sessions document those who make the music today my desire is to transmit some pioneering works which paved the way to what we try to create. Realizing that most of those seminal recordings were not available I decided to archive them in a contemporary way, DJing-mixing them and while most of the time running several sources together or in medleys I made sure to respect the original intent of each composer as I want to transmit their message rather than mine. The only one I would dare deliver being that they should not be forgotten… " — Philippe Petit
