about

« Sounds cool. Nice textures. Gave me some Endtroducing vibes in parts. Well done ! »
JJ Whitefield (Poets Of Rhythm, Whitefields Brothers)

« This is very dope. Elestre have a great ear for making music! I wish there was more music like this being put out »
D-Styles (Beat Junkies, Invisible Scratch Pickle)

« Aurore is full of songs and soundscapes that have been beautifully crafted from old samples. Highly recommended for fans of instrumental hip-hop with a more musical ear »
DJ Format

DJ and producer with multiple influences, Elestre defines himself first and foremost as a music hunter. His references range from The Heliocentrics, Massive Attack, and Four Tet to David Axelrod, Sun Ra, Alain Goraguer and Tangerine Dream.

Elestre distils an organic Downtempo, with hypnotic sounds and obsessive Groove: Hip Hop Beats and vibrant bass are studded with captivating Rhodes, delirious Jazz brass, psychedelic guitars and rippling synth.

"The inception for this album is a need for liberation, to reclaim my time. Its design is dominated by the idea of renewal, hence the title ‘Aurore’. I had just quit my job at the record store to devote myself to DJing when lockdown happened. Therefore, I benefited from all the time I needed to experiment in depth, I worked on these compositions day and night, reaching a hypnotic quasi fugue state. This is where the magic happens, when intentions give way to the unconscious mind, the most unexpected things occur, it’s that part of mystery that fascinates me and which I try to capture in those tracks."

Composite in essence, Elestre’s music is almost entirely based on vintage samples unearthed from his dizzying collection of obscure 33 rpm vinyl records. It draws its boundless influences equally from Soul, Funk, Jazz, as well as Rock, experimental music and original film soundtracks. The samples are sheared, transformed and assembled in surreal collages to deliver a unique vision of Beatmaking, all at once innovative and imbued with the very soul of Hip Hop.

With ‘Aurore’, Elestre invokes the spirit of dark Trip Hop and erects worlds inhabited by persistent mirages, in the form of sonic magma extracted from the folds of his psyche. By bringing his ardent visions to life, he creates an unreal, cinematic music, for an intense psychic voyage.
