This is the debut album from Paris-based Jeremy Guindo aka Bambounou on Modeselektor's 50 Weapons label. Guindo's first public DJ gig was at the age of 19, playing with two of his favorite producers Bok Bok and Lvis-1990. His first release was an EP on French electro digital label Youngunz called Animism, released in 2010. His main influences include African rhythm grooves, Chicago and Detroit house artists like DJ Funk, DJ Slugo and the Dance Mania label, in addition to UK dubstep, UK funky, techno and Drexciya. He's also really into video games, cat gifs, any weird animals on YouTube, Curiosity on Mars, fantasy genre books, fiction novels and swimming. As the artist himself explains: "I started with quite a minimalist approach. I essentially wanted to have some key techno tracks mixed with some serious dancefloor bangers. Even though I feel the tracks are all quite different within their own right, they still come under the umbrella of '90s house and techno mixed with some kind of bass music. I have a running theme throughout, which is space." On Orbiting you'll find UK funky flares, bonafide techno blasters, touches of Chicago house, deep arpeggiators and synths, Moog destroyers, experimental groove and acid house on crack.
