HUGO LX
Paris
with no less than two dozens of releases in the last 5 years, he keeps on weaving a constantly expanding, ever organic, yet electronic musical spectrum.
his most notable dance outputs - a pair of eps with ny revered music master dj spinna on the prestigious ndatl imprint, a couple of singles for mcde recordings and mona musique, and numerous remixes for luminaries such as satoshi tomiie, rick wade, karizma or black loops - got him a special place in the current electronic soundscape.
closely associated to the japanese dance music scene, he has been curating the japan connection festival in paris, alongside kuniyuki takahashi, while he also continued working on his hip-hop and ambiant catalogues.
hugo is currently working on two long players to be released in 2026, and a couple of dance numbers for yoyaku chapelle xiv imprint."Had the intent of conceiving a mixtape that would fit in one tight pocket, one that could carry multiple energies at once, the way I like most things in life, whether its music, garments, or any form of art: I enjoy timeless things in general, and I do enjoy them even more when they can exist in many different contexts.
Because what's the real difference between a mellow hiphop beats and tight jazz cut, or a soulful house track? I want to be able to walk the street, dance in the club, work on my photographs or chill at home to this soundtrack with the same delight.
Here you'll find a few rehashed classic - "Inner City Blues" in reggae mode, "Souther Freeze" turned into bossa nova - some deeper cuts from beloved 2000s instrumental volumes, and a bunch of new beats and late 70s, early 80s favorites."
