8 Tracks Of: Antinote History with Zaltan

I met D.K. soon after launching Antinote in 2012. He’d just moved to Paris with LowJack from French Britany. Marimba Theme features on the 2nd record he put out on Antinote. I’m so proud of him and i admire him as a producer and human being. We play B2B a lot together and he knows how to make me laugh even when i’m super stressed before a DJ set. Check out his new EP series from this year, it’s so dope!

Nico made two records on Antinote. A third record will be out later this year. He’s one of my favourite music producers and the man responsible for every record cover on the label, alongside Mathias Pol. I speak to him literally every hour on the phone, I have lunch with him on monday, tuesday, thursday… i basically spend my life with him. He is Antinote. He is my brother. mucho love 4 ever Nico.

I met Raph when I was 15 years old. We DJed at every bar in Paris together for 10 years. We did everything together as young adults. I know everything about him, he knows me as if he made me. He’s my favourite DJ. I love this record and i’m so proud to have released his first ever record. Nico Motte, Raph Top Secret and I made the 18 Rays record 2 years ago and i had the best time of my life making music with these two guys in the studio.

One day I discovered i had a mail box on soundcloud! I was going through many messages and one dude sent me a message with Dumont’s music. I was shocked. I’d never listened to something like this before. I tried to get in contact with the man and i finally got an answer after a few weeks. Everything started like this. I feel so lucky because their music moves me so much. They released a second record in 2018 and i’m still a hardcore fan of their music. Hopefully a new one soon !! If you don’t know them now, go dive into their unique world.

My favourite song from the rock’n’roll star from Tel Aviv!! A pure Hit !! big up Ori!

My little protégé from Melbourne. I met Raudie because he moved to Paris for one year, following his girlfriend doing an internship in a very nice art gallery in Paris. He’s young and cute. He started to work for me at the Antinote office and one day he played me a few demos. It blew my mind. I’m such a fan of this guy, of his music and i’m so happy a new EP is out now!!

Alex and Leopold are from the Simple Music Experience crew in Bordeaux. One of the most interesting music crews in France. This Lp was released on cassette a few years back. They did only a few copies… We used to listen to it in the car with my girlfriend Mélanie. One day she said that I should release it on record. We easily agreed to release it on Antinote because those guys are the sweetest dudes. It’s one of my favourite records on the label. They just released a second LP this year and i think those guys got something really special to say. I also have to mention that they are strongly politically engaged and you can feel that in their music. I love art for art but no need to say music is a good way to protest too. big up guys !!

Théo and Paula are from the Bordeaux crew too. Théo is from the Simple Music Experience crew too, he used to live in that big house / studio with léopold and Alexandre from Radiante pourpre too. Together they form the band Violent Quand On Aime. Paula is the singer of the famous garage band JC Satan. They have released 2 records on Antinote. They are the bad ass of the roster, they always kill it when they play live, you should go if they play near your city.
