The great Ruben Marin, caught me smoking (in the two weeks I’ve been smoking again) and from now on it will be forever on the internet of the net of the youtube’s web.Clone is the second track from CLUB COPY to finds it’s music video. Feel free to share, comment and jump on a banana
Club Copy brings us a futuristic world dominated by standardisation, in which, your place on Earth no longer matters. In Paris, Bangkok or Hanoi everything is the same. Visitors are doomed to find the same street, the same shops, playing the same music, frequented by people wearing the same clothes, made in the same places…
However in one of these towns, a small oasis of resistance is emerging in spite of itself.
Club Copy, a small, outdated photocopying centre has been converted into an alternative venue.
Here, each photocopy generates new variations. Because of the obsolescence of the equipment and the technical incompetence of its managers, it is impossible to make a photocopy without deviating from the original.
Initially on the verge of bankruptcy, the shop soon becomes a new place of resistance for the freaks….
Built on the ashes of Manu Louis’ latest release (Front de Cadeaux’s remix of Internet), Club Copy bounces again to the sexy BPM of the slowed-down clubs.
Manu is joined by an impressive cast of collaborators: Spanish singer from Las Victimas Civiles, Héctor Arnau; Brussels experimental jazz vocalist, Lynn Cassiers; and performer Vicente Arlandis offer their voices. Mastering by the cult Rashad Becker sculpts the bass and widens the space, and Spanish artist Escif’s hijacked covers plunge us into the heart of the beauty of the photocopy shop. Club Copy is undoubtedly the Berlin singer/producer’s most accomplished, touching and disturbing work to date.
CLUB COPY LP just landed in Brussels and it looks absolutely wonderfull ! Release date is the 30th of september on Igloo Records but It can be pre-order on bandcamp (and it’s Bandcamp friday) today!)
The artwork has been made by great Spanish Artist ESCIF (previous collaboration we did include Coltan Major Harmonics LP and the Magic Piano) and design is by FORMO

Along with Dirty Feetz we’re starting this new Festival at Panke in Berlin. It will mots likely happen every six month
« Rents are rising – Freaks have to leave – Berlin is dying. Everyday it looks more and more like the same city you see in Bangkok, New York, London, Paris or Liverpool
Everyday it looks more and more like a BigMac
Celebrate the carnaval! the outsiders, the unadapted, the different! Ambition, has to die! «
a brand new campfire remix of my track PLAYBACK that features this absolutely fantastic compilation “Hope for her future” by the Underground Institute in collaboration with the Afghan Women’s Association
The compilation’s aim is to collect funds and raise awareness for the current situation of girls in Afghanistan – with the new restrictions on education set by the Taliban; currently schools are only open for female students up to the 6th grade.

Keep the shape Louis !
With French composer Sylvain Chauveau, we‘re now launching an impossible label : Zero Carbon Records.
The beauty of Zero Carbon for a label founder is that it makes recording and record manufacturing impossible.
Fortunately, our born-failure label already found a reconversion in sport and scout guitars.
We will now deliver you those impossible-to-record new music as 100% acoustic show (zero amplification) carried from city to city biking.
Sylvain and I will be experimenting a first tour of that kind next spring before we hopefully send more people on the road (for example Julian Sartorius) in 2024! (get in touch if interested).
