Several releases under the Martin Alix alias have seen this young Parisian tastemaker become a core part of the contemporary French house scene. He has landed on key labels before turning the ear of the Circa ‘99 boss Boston Bun. This project opens a new musical chapter that finds the producer drawing on a broader range of influences from house artists like A-Trak, Chaney, and LF System to r&b and indie pop, with vocal melodies a core part of the sound. He is working on a live show to debut later in the year, and this first tune more than excites.
The superb ‘Transcendance’ is a smooth, catchy house groove with warm bass and neon keys. The standout feature is the delicate female vocal that loops next to elastic synths and starry-eyed melodies. It’s perfect for back rooms, festival main stages and cross-over radio play as the summer gets ever closer.
‘Transcendance’ is an intriguing first tune from Makinn, who has several more tracks, collaborations and remixes ready for the coming months.
