█ █
█ It's been a while since the members of AOTY first met █
█ each other. Nathael and Camille were kindergarten █
█ friends, as were Louis and David. The four of them █
█ met in highschool. Music became a bond between them █
█ and in 1998, they started to take it seriously. After █
█ giving up on a ½ trip hop ╗ formation, Nathael and █
█ Camille started to fiddle around with electronic █
█ glitches and textures, not unlike those of Pole and █
█ Pan Sonic. David and Louis joined them on certain █
█ compositions, bringing their own conception of rythms █
█ in the mix. It was because they were tired of the █
█ live versions of electronic acts (the music is still █
█ extremely interesting but there's not much █
█ entertainment aside from that) that the members █
█ decided to push the funk attitude a little more by █
█ throwing a big party on stage. One of the biggest █
█ strenght of the band is to be able to recreate live █
█ what we can hear on the album. Live musicians are █
█ somewhat easier to relate to and visually more █
█ interesting than a single guy on a laptop or █
█ deejaying. The shows are then centered around █
█ grooves, but the electronic edge is still very █
█ present. █
█ █
█ Le Gala, their first album was somewhat of an █
█ experiment; the goal was to push the capacities of █
█ the computer and to make it crash as often as █
█ possible; a couple of blue screens brought tears of █
█ joy on the faces of the band members. The concept is █
█ obvious; A character is brought through different █
█ phases of a gala, from the pleasant "the invitation" █
█ through the mega hit "best crap of the year" until we █
█ finally come to an end with the somewhat unexpected █
█ after party "chicks with hidden dicks". █
█ Though sometimes ambiant, this album was entirely █
█ created in a fun atmosphere, and even the darkest █
█ songs were accomplished with a huge smile. It has █
█ been described as "some edgy electronic music that is █
█ sharp though not pretentious. You can look like a █
█ nerd and a party animal at the same time... A truly █
█ original blend." █
█ █
█ Cut Disco, the sophomore, was actually described as █
█ "a record that is both frenetic, danceable and █
█ delightfully unhinged" and "while it has the same █
█ ingredients as Le Gala, the proportions are literally █
█ the oppposite...the dirty funk is now dripping from █
█ your speakers, but the music is still clever...this █
█ could be the album of the deflaragtion" █
█ █
█ The concept of Cut Disco was to show the influence of █
█ Vic Peterson on aRTIST oF tHE yEAR members. Vic was █
█ the founder of the Cut Disco movement, a genre that █
█ blended the emergence of hip hop with the last █
█ breaths of disco music and is the reference for █
█ number of bands that tried to follow the same energy █
█ he conveyed. Cut Disco is filled with skits that are █
█ a bit twisted. "sometimes a little weirdo humour is █
█ needed, and Artist of the Year step up to the plate █
█ and deliver the goods, in both official languages no █
█ less." █
█ █
█ To support the album, the band played a numbers of █
█ venues. The most important were probably the 2005 █
█ edition of Mutek fest.(headlining the Experience 1) █
█ and also the 2005 edition of the International Jazz █
█ Fest, (Groove series). Cut Disco is still on █
█ different college top 10 charts in Canada and has █
█ even started to play in Paris, France. █
