at 25, nicolas chaix had already developed a deeply personal
universe through intensive listening to paris free radios (
aligre, libertaire, nova, fg), and frantic scrutinizing of all
things graphic-related not mentioning the obvious frequent
participation to paris burgeoning rave and free party scene.
after sending several demos to gilb'r, at the time one of radio
nova's main sound-programmer, chaix signed to the newly founded
versatile imprint and produced the label's first release, disco
cubizm, under the i:cube moniker. the ep features a nifty daft
punk remix that put versatile on the world map of "hot" electronic
talents.
although nicolas' later releases " metamorphik" and " picnic
attack" did not quite catch public attention in the same
proportion, his debut lp " picnic attack" received a particularly
warm welcome from the british musical press. a twisted and
personal interpretation of detroit techno, chicago house, movie
soundtracks and absurd jingles, picnic atack inaugurated the
concept of "library recorded background music".
after a string of remixes for various artists and the release of
his first collaboration with gilb'r under the chateau flight
moniker - discobole ep- i:cube unleashed new musical mayhem with
his series of deeply inspired and irony-tinged ep : scratch
robotniks, " tropiq" and " pooh pah". this material was compiled
on his second lp adore. its amazing mixture of dub, bossa, techno,
electro and house music revealed i:cube to a larger audience and
established his talent as a unique composer.
in october 2000, versatile released ch?teau flight's first lp
puzzle to much critical acclaim and the duo plans a live-tour for
the year 2001. also in store is the release of faceball 2000
material -one of chaix' alias- focused on eighties-inspired dance
music.
