Release Notes:
Agoria is the recording moniker adopted by film school graduate and atypical
techno producer Devaud. According to legend, the Lyon, France-based producer
played his first DJ set as support to Richie Hawtin and Carl Cox, and has played
alongside Jeff Mills, Joey Beltram, Colin Dale and Cristian Vogel. Increasingly
bored of playing other peopleÆs records, however, Devaud began creating his own
tracks that were explicitly intended to transcend what Devaud calls æmotorway
technoÆ. He was the first DJ to be taken on by FAIR, a French support fund for
new acts. The son of an opera singer (who taught him music theory and piano from
the age of 10) and an architect (who was apparently a big fan of Steve Reich and
Brian EnoÆs repetitive musics), Devaud cites the inspiration of Pierre Henry,
Stockhausen, hip-hop and Prince alongside Detroit luminaries such as Derrick
May, Kenny Larkin and Underground Resistance. While his DJ sets are
predominantly Detroit-style techno, DevaudÆs 2003 album debut was intended to
cross genres to reflect his home-listening habits. æLa Onzieme MarcheÆ (The
Eleventh Step) was a particularly classy and perfectly poised slab of
Underground Resistance-inspired techno. Blossom featured a trio of
collaborations: with Sylvie Marks of the Berlin-based BPitch Control label (on
æSpinach GirlÆ), Ann Saunderson (on æWorth ItÆ), and Tricky (on æ2thousand3Æ).
Devaud has released music via the UMF, Tekmics, Zebra 3 and A-Traction labels
and his Agoria alter-ego has been remixed by Alexandre Kowalski, IntecÆs C1,
Eedio, Phil Keiran and Kompakt RecordsÆ Michael Mayer.
