With disconcerting simplicity, this futuristic duo presents a daring mix of dancing accordion rhythms alongside the abstract repetitions of electro. Working with long techno crescendos, dissonant squeezebox sounds, and the birthing of confused emotions, these young musicians move between dance hall and club, in a hypnotic trance, which is simultaneously gritty and uplifting. Matthieu Souchet (LoG, XAMAN, Science Fiction), on drums and synth, is jazz-trained and has a background in electro, but he is equally at ease with traditional French music, feeling at home with its country style and its foot-tapping invitation to dance. Raphaël Decoster (Zlabya, Kate, and Raphaël) and his accordion have left their mark on the dance halls of Europe, but as the heady fumes of electro music intensified around him, they eventually became too hard to resist. Souchet and Decoster’s common aim is to get people dancing. Inspired by techno, repetitive riffs, French trad, and a generous pinch of mischief, together they are building a repertoire filled with love, partying, and a love of partying! After a host of live gigs and a debut EP in 2019, the duo is ready to release their first album, Astrale Nouba, on the Airfono label. With it, a more electronic aesthetic emerges, described by TURFU as ‘Dark Guingette’ (to capture the album’s mixture of rawness and frivolity). Against the sonorous backdrop of a grand fluorescent ball, TURFU tackles the subjects of passion, frenzy, and drunkenness. These Dionysian themes translate into sometimes rustic, sometimes wild melodies, accompanied by synthetically-driven rhythms.
