Agoria – Baptême [Kompakt]

by Isabella Rossi March 26, 2015

It seemed that Agoria last EP “Baptême”, was not going to be released.

For a long time the fans of the french DJ, have wondered where the track was and when it would come out.

But nothing, the same Agoria did not answer about it. But now Baptême is finally out and listening to the EP, we’ve found something interesting to say.

Last work by Sebastien Devaud, the real name of Agoria, is very different from previous, especially from Scala released on Innervisions.

Scala, a rhythmic track where the notes of the piano were repeated up to create an harmonious sound, is completely opposite compared to Baptême.

The track, long-awaited, presents magical and mysterious sounds, percussions that resemble those of the label Pampa, space synths and a piano, yes still a piano, from which come out low notes.

A darkest melody that maybe represents a new way to produce and live music. Something more intimate and conscious. But in the EP you will also find the rework made by Agoria of the Lucky Blue Eyes (DJ Tennis and Luke Jenner of The Rapture) version. Trumpets, a hint of a guitar and a voice that seems to come directly from the 70’s, are the success of this evocative and suggestive track made definitely special by the talent of three great artists. It took a lot before we could hear Baptême but the wait was rewarded. This EP is another jewel in the career of Agoria and is already considered a cult.

Listen carefully, it can be addictive!

Release Date: 23-03-2015
