43°C, the debut LP by French electronic producer Basile3, is the result of a decade of cultivating a musical identity that focuses on hybridization, sonic recycling, and playfulness. The enigmatic title “43°C” signifies a haze of bliss (4+3=7, the producer’s lucky number) backdropped by the ecological state of a world that’s grown slightly but surely warmer. In this anticipation fiction, Basile3 offers a soundtrack that is an exploration of urban electronic music, minimalist techno and lofi house. Basile warmly invites listeners to his state of mind, blooming with genre-bending floating soundscapes.

The first single “In the clouds” is a groundbreaking track that seamlessly blends Breakbeat, Drum & Bass, and Abstract IDM Leftfield. With its percussive rhythms and deep basslines and melodies, Basile3 offers us a glimpse of his anticipation fiction.

Basile3 has developed his sound and identity through multiple intimate artistic collaborations across the UK and Europe. This is shown from his early participation in Gang Fatale (London’s former “nerd kids” club music collective), to his recent live and studio collaborations with InFiné labemates (Deena Abdelwahed, Sabrina Bellaouel, Gaspar Claus), as well as his latest collaboration with AD93’s Minor Science. It’s, thus, no surprise to find many collaborations on his debut album, which features the vocals from Thelma Cappello, Daisy Ray, Lloydfears and Lucy Sissy Miller,  Minor Science‘s work on the mix, and the artworks by Thelma Capello.
