Petit Biscuit - Discipline - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2016 . Petit Biscuit is a 16 year old French artist whose real name is Mehdi Benjelloun. As a fan of Nils Frahm, he excels in giving sampled voices a unique treatment. Mehdi records the sounds with his friends, then edits and mixes them until they become autonomous instruments. This gives his songs an exotic sensibility while being strangely familiar to the ear. Thanks to years of training at the Conservatory (French classical music school) learning the cello, piano and guitar as well as music theory, Petit Biscuit is able to play all the instruments present in his songs, from the percussion to the keyboards and guitars. His tracks started to travel too, being shared organically by millions of listeners.

2017 debut album from classically-trained French artist Petit Biscuit. Recorded over the course of the past year, Petit Biscuit - AKA Mehdi Benjelloun - wrote, produced and mixed Presence completely independently, finding time between high school exams and sold out tours across the U. S. , Europe and beyond. The album is his complete creative vision, and includes contributions from Lido, Bipolar Sunshine and Panama. The album was mastered by legendary engineer Chab (Daft Punk, Air, Sebastien Tellier) in a nod to the forefathers of French dance music. Presence is the first new music from Petit Biscuit since the of his debut EP featuring smash hit InchSunset Lover,Inch released in 2015 when he was only 15 and streamed more than 350 million times to date. Petit Biscuit plays piano, guitar, cello and more, and began experimenting with electronics to form his signature sound at age 11. Presence is heavily informed by his schooling, combining acoustic elements with innovative electronic production and his trademark vocal manipulations.

After playing together for nearly two decades, Luciano Mosetti and Anders Ferdal agreed it was about time to finally their first joint album. The duo is joined here and there by friends, making a rich repertoire of Brazilian rhythms and jazz, American evergreens, a Swedish melody and ballads, as well as an original composition.
