→ Stream / Watch
As dreamy, breezy and sunny like its predecessor Adorer, Party is a sand-drenched track that evokes a sense of ease and reflection. It’s a ballad with assured pop accents, inspired by a pivotal moment in François’s life. It offers a delicate perspective on ‘‘the festivities of the ultimate frontier’’, a poetic journey that provides an original outlook on the end of life.
This single serves as a preview of the album Âge Fleuve, a work crafted over four years marked by the pandemic and the passing of François’s father. Navigating between two labels, Domino and InFiné, François transformed this period of transition and emotional release into an album that flows with organic fluidity.

Murcof’s New Album “Twin Color, Vol.1” drops today
Murcof, a mastermind within the electronic underground, releases his long-awaited album “Twin Color (vol.1)” today → Stream / Order
Fernando Corona aka Murcof is a Mexico-born, Spain-based artist who started dabbling in music
in the 1980s. Although Murcof has toyed with everything from ambient to industrial to acid house, Corona’s discography is united by his thoughtfulness that shows his full potential on Twin Color (vol. 1).
Murcof’s new album leans into a crunchy, motorik sound and sits nicely within the context of the his brainy catalog. Twin Color came to life in 2020, shaped by the early days of pandemic lockdowns. Corona had just turned 50 and found himself in a wistful mood while revisiting his poppier material from the ‘80s. Melancholy and poignance permeate the album, which conjures a sense of ruminative motion.
Twin Color is also accompanied by a partnership with Brussels-based visual artist Simon Geilfus, who imagined a whole graphic universe to complement the music. The album is InFiné’s first collaboration with the french institute IRCAM, the legendary French institute devoted to pushing the boundaries of music and sound.
Twin Color stands out from the Murcof albums that came before it, but Corona ultimately views it as a return to his roots. It’s a reimagination of his origins, infused with the nuanced touch of a thoroughly seasoned innovator.

Kaito releases new EP “Summer Mood” as an extention of his last album “Collection”
Hiroshi Watanabe, known as Kaito, drops his new EP “Summer Mood” to continue building up his world of “Collection” → Stream / Order
Hiroshi Watanabe, better known as Kaito, closes his Collection chapter with the dreamy, piano driven track Summer Mood and two exclusive pieces that explore ethereal classical and space techno landscapes.
As one of Japan’s most revered electronic musicians, with a career spanning over two decades, Kaito continues to refine his craft, delivering soothing and introspective sonic experiences. Collection, released on September 13th, features re-edited versions of tracks composed between 2020 and 2022. The album delves into themes of resilience during the pandemic, highlighting Kaito’s mastery of deep, contemplative soundscapes that evoke nature’s serenity. These works have found renewed relevance, offering solace to a world still in turmoil.
The EP opener and title track, Summer Mood (iF Edit), with its piano notes seemingly suspended in time, captures the essence of stillness, evoking both nostalgia and tranquility, while setting the reflective tone for the rest of the release. Layered with airy synth waves and driven by delicate piano, Encounter (iF Edit) transports listeners into a more ethereal, spiritual space, inviting them into a lucid dream state filled with hope and harmony.
On the other hand, Paradigm Shift (iF Edit) introduces spacey elements reminiscent of Detroit techno’s golden age. Although it diverges from the album’s overall mood, its layered dystopian synth notes evoke a sense of transformation and exploration, creating both spiritual tension and a longing for physical release.

Coco Em is back with her new single “Kwa Raha Zangu”
“Kwa Raha Zangu” drops today via InFiné along with its remix track by Emile Papandréou → Listen
‘The hardest hustling DJ,’ according to Okay Africa, Coco Em is a force to be reckoned with. Her new single Kwa Raha Zangu has a unique story of its own, like many of her songs. Initially aiming for a club anthem, Coco EM took a different direction mid-creation. Driven by a need to lift her own spirits, she let her bruised heart steer the song, giving rise to a song that turned out somber and reflective. Influenced by the rich, expansive qualities of Lingala music, the track captures the power of music as a balm for the soul.
Written after a night at Nairobi’s underground club Mist, Coco Em channels the bittersweet blend of joy and sorrow through her layered production and vocal work. “When the 4 a.m. breeze hit, it reminded us that morning was coming and sleep was slipping away. The music had such a powerful, almost spiritual energy that I lost myself in it. After all the dancing and human connection, I thought, ‘niko hapa kwa raha zangu’ – I’m here, for better or worse, by choice,” she wrote.
The EP also includes a remix by Emile Papandréou, injecting a mutant techno energy with broken beats, morphing bass lines, and ethereal waves that push the track deeper into dystopian territory. With Kwa Raha Zangu, her first release since her 2022 debut Kilumi, Coco Em makes a singular return, crafting a sound where uncharted musical territories intersect with themes of self-liberation and responsibility. This release offers just a glimpse of her evolving sound, leaving listeners eager to explore the rich musical world she continues to shape.

Bruce Brubaker releases “Eno Piano 2” as a sequel to “Eno Piano” → Stream / Watch “The Big Ship” / Order your bundle
Bruce Brubaker who is deservingly named “one of the most exciting pianists in the contemporary American classical scene” by Pitchfork releases his album Eno Piano 2 today.
The album explores Brian Eno’s ambient music using a Steinway concert grand piano with electromagnetic bows to create sustained drone textures. Building on the acclaimed Eno Piano 1, which received praise from The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Line of Best Fit, Brubaker draws parallels between Eno’s music and American Minimalists like Philip Glass. The album includes reinterpreted tracks like «The Big Ship» and «Music for Airports, 1/1,» using advanced IRCAM spatialization tools to create an immersive acoustic experience, turning the piano into a supernatural synthesizer.
Aided by electromagnetic bows that create sustained drone textures from a Steinway concert grand piano, Brubaker shows that, as he says, “A musical instrument can be a studio.” A good-natured response to Brian Eno’s often-repeated remark that, “The recording studio is a musical instrument.”

O’o shares new album ‘Songs of Wishes and Bones’
French duo O’o unveils new album ‘Songs of Wishes and Bones’ → Stream / Order
O’o ‘s much awaited album “Songs of Wishes and Bones” drops today via InFiné. This album marks an abundance of newly found inspiration for the band. For the albums preparation, the duo; Mathieu Daubigné and Victoria Suter has found solace in the quaint village of Mézin in southwestern France. Victoria reflects: “We left Barcelona to live in the middle of nowhere in the countryside, and we made this record while being very isolated. We lived together for almost a year in a family house in a tiny village and were immersed in nature. It became our biggest source of inspiration,”
The name of the album holds significance as to showing how contrast and duality inspires the band. The plays on contrasts become more perceptible as you listen to the songs, which indeed speak of life and death, nature and artifice, past and present, and light and darkness, as for instance in the track ‘Le jour et la nuit’. These narratives are seen through the keen eye of chanteuse and lyricist Victoria Suter and complemented by the electronic sorcery of her musical partner, Mathieu Daubigné. Throughout the record, it’s the environment that informs the electronic soundscapes, which Mathieu writes in direct dialogue with Victoria’s words. Her use of personification hints at wider themes, with tales that are absorbing, moving, and sometimes wickedly funny.
Suter’s voice, often compared to icons like Kate Bush and Björk, paired with Mathieu Daubigné’s precise production, creates a captivating soundscape. Promoted by the French label InFiné, the campaign targets major French and global radio stations such as France Inter and FIP, amplified by dynamic social media campaigns, targeted ads, and compelling live performances.

The question was asked prior to the single’s release, when Léonie sat down in front of a piano at Gare du Lyon to play “Réparer le monde” to passengers.
With “Réparer le monde,” Pernet returns to the lyrical and poetic sensibilities that have always set her apart. The single offers a first glimpse of her upcoming album Poèmes Pulvérisés, due for 2025.

The album features nine ambient and melodic tracks crafted during the Covid-19 pandemic. This work offers a majestic blend of minimalism and harmony, serving as a soothing response to world’s adversities and marking a return to the height of his artistry.

Therefore, Kaito’s music belongs to a tradition found in many Japanese artistic practices, from calligraphy to poetry to theater and dance, often developed in an animistic relationship with nature, its rhythms, forms, and seasons.
«I believe music has the power to connect us, especially to our deepest selves. When I compose, I seek keys within myself, I try to follow my state of mind and translate it into music. Composing is like diving inside oneself, bringing visions to life. It’s a bit like traveling through time and space, like a kind of meditation.» Trust in Kaito’s artistry to lead you to a deep, inner connection with yourself through his transformative and healing melodies. Kaito explains.
Tune in, zone out and let Kaito’s artistry to connect you to your deepest self through his healing tunes.
