about

Belliqueux is the outcome of a long running friendship between Nessim Nazal and Rookie Sanchez, who met 10 years ago while they were still students. Sharing a common hunger for musical exploration through squatted alternative venues, early enthusiast of the growing new wave of tropical and global bass electronic scene, their sonic experiments led them to compose dancing tracks setting up jerky, unstructured, complex rhythms filled with insane melodies.

Mechant Mechant is a musical project created by Rookie Sanchez, and Nessim Nazal. In 2019, Pedro Del Son, DJ and globetrotter producer, joined the project, marking the transformation of the concept into a collective. Based in the cosmopolitan district of La Guillotière in Lyon, Mechant Mechant mixes genres, styles, cultures, setting no hierarchy between Durban Gqom, UK Bass, Cairo Mahraganet, Sao Paolo Baile Funk, as long as the music invites the audience to travel and dance.

Inspired by their own Latin, North African, and Slavic roots, the duo breaks with western styles, firmly establishing themselves within the Global bass scene. ... more

My whole body agrees with the pace of this short but solid track list. A generous helping of acoustic rhythm samples ignited by breakbeats add extra attention to full range movement on the dancefloor. Not a beat wasted. cherub420
