As we continue our trend of follow up interviews, we find ourselves returning to an old-time favourite, The Toxic Avenger as he reveals another EP. You may remember him as we sat down to dissect the Shifted EP which would go on to gain momentum around the world. The producer
Now, it’s clear that we’re slightly obsessed with French producers and the unique music they can create which is why we were particularly intrigued when we learnt about Antoine Chambe, the producer who manages to combine French-touch with American pop elements, resulting in something akin to synthwave. His latest single,

“I don’t wanna go to school, I just want wanna break the rules,” proclaimed Charli XCX in 2014. This was no frivolous remark. If only we’d understood just how serious she was, perhaps her path as a pop star wouldn’t be regarded as the oddity it is today. Truthfully, XCX

Aside from his own work, in particular Viol, gaining traction, the French techno-punk producer was tapped to produce for none other than (the artist formerly known as) Kanye West.
