The EP. Neptune, the eighth and last planet of our solar system, Roman god of the oceans but also name of the fifty-second Boxon Records label release. Between Mogwai, Brian Eno and workers of Ambient field in Electronic music, François Ier focuses his work on thoughtful, visual and effective compositions without falling into caricature. Between space travel and Atlantide decor, the artist is playing with the duality of Neptune name, offering us a trip mixing tridents, atlants and others leviathans. This mysterious world with his azure dress, too far from the sun, worth to bear the name of King of seas. And now, you’re felling like flying or flowing, choice yours, in a bottomless abyss. Close your eyes and nods. His compositions are simple, yes, but incredibly efficient. Nothing else matters except the dampness and the darkness of the infinite. François Ier, young DJ from Toulouse revealed by Boussole Records, is not on his beginnings with this EP which follows the sublime « 1515 EP ». After sharing the stage with artists such as Brodinski, Panteros666, Club Cheval, Monsieur Monsieur, Ateph Elidja, KorgBrain, Embrace, Duke Dumont, Eton Messy, Mangabey, La Petite Grande, Nu Circle, François Ier signs on Boxon for this always simple, effective EP, which reminds us Richard Wright‘s keyboards or Brian Eno’s sound tribulations. Let’s go meeting the king of seas and oceans, on the road to the abyss…
