After having reissued five of his albums last year, the unstoppable beatmaker Degiheugi today completes the great retrospective on his past discography by announcing the release of his first two albums, in fully remixed and remastered version, available on vinyl for the first time. It is in a new light that purists will be able to (re)discover his first album Aquilon, released in 2005, which oscillates between instrumental hip-hop, breakbeat and electronic spleen. The album cover has also been redesigned down to the smallest detail for this deluxe version, to which is added a remix as a bonus. Also featuring Virus.

Reissue, originally released in 2010. Two years after the excellent The Broken Symphony, the wait is over. Degiheugi's fourth album, Abstract Symposium is an album that stands out from its predecessors. Indeed, if the beatmaker made himself known thanks to an essentially instrumental production, his latest effort goes against his whole approach. You will understand, the album is a vocal disc: a host of guests, for 16 strong character tracks. Don't panic, if you enjoyed the previous albums, it's a safe bet that this disc will delight your eardrums just like in the good old days. Understand by this that, even if the bias to put forward the voice can be risky for the solidity of the production of the sieur, the balance remains preserved. On the program, cuts, breaks, "triturage and assemblage", which made it famous, all cleverly enriched by the vocal performances of the guests. Here the change is intelligent, it operates smoothly and surprises you when you least expect it, while preserving certain immutable bases which give this artist all his interest. Sometimes jazz, then hip-hop, or acoustic folk, Abstract Symposium is the album of diversity... But can it be otherwise with Degiheugi... Features Screenatorium, Nomad, Ghostown, Doctor Noodle, Nolto, Kalyanka, Andrre, Astronautalis, Skap'1, and Mock.

Double LP version. Reissue, originally released in 2017. The wait that separates each new gem extracted from Degiheugi's personal gold mine is a bit the one that grips you with each forced exile with the loved one. Two years after the peaks climbed on Endless Smile, a seventh discographic summit awaits you, an enchanting panorama where sixteen titles meander in the twists and turns of the romantic relationship. A theme that you no longer present, but explored here with a musicality so salient and distinctive that you can only qualify it as "degiheugiesque": the waltzes of desire become myriads of solar samples, flourish in the roundness of synths analog inherited from the golden age of EDM. During the ascent, you will enjoy here and there breathtaking views of the Brazilian or African coasts, while the local guests will offer you stopovers in ragga lands (featuring Devi Reed), in the intimacy of a trip-splendor-hop (Astrid Van Peetersen) or in the footsteps of a rap with princely pageantry (Chill Bump, Chima Anya). Degiheugi may praise the lightness of his art and defend himself from any spirit of seriousness, this music and this album have Bagatelle only in the name: they are above all passions that one embraces. Also features Miscellaneous.

Double LP version. Reissue, originally released in 2012. From the cover of Dancing Chords And Fireflies, you sense that your wait will be rewarded: a kind of digital origami, the artwork very pleasantly caresses the eye... The beatmaker's previous albums told a story, this one is no exception to the rule. The album opens with a "what's up?", aptly. Yes, after two years of silence, it was time to give another news, and the man is in good shape without a doubt! Degiheugi surprises you while remaining himself, creator of magical atmospheres and unparalleled sound director, supported here by a world-class cast. The albums is noted by the triple participation of Miscellaneous, the soft voice of Astrid Van Peeterssen, the rocky flow of the Canadian Andree and especially the featuring of Pierre the Motionless and Brzowski on the superb "Embers". 21 tracks, oscillating between jazz, hip-hop and electro, which paint a colorful, soft, addicting world full of flavors. The "Degiheugi Touch" is this little thing, melancholy and punchy at the same time, that differentiates him from Wax Tailor (more general public) and Doctor Flake (colder), to whom he is often compared. Broken Symphony was his major album, it will now be necessary to reckon with Dancing Chords, a perfect synthesis of the Degiheugien universe! Also features Andrre and Felix Faire.

Double LP version. Reissue, originally released in 2015. The years go by and the ranks of followers never stop growing: it is because the already very busy discography of Degiheugi is enriched each time with a new solid gold disc, composing a unique, impressive work, in the French beatmaking landscape. Endless Smile, sixth episode, reveals itself once again as a grand cru, immediately clear, but above all long in the mouth, loaded with intense melodic persistence and curls that take the ear hostage. And what a variety of aromas in the art of sampling: languid strings, oriental flutes, hopping brass, exotic percussions, intimate piano, samples of antediluvian blues or forgotten French song. This grape variety from the "Great West" finds its perfect balance in a hip-hop, classic, timeless spirit, which runs through the entire album in common thread. When other beatmakers give in too quickly to the sirens of the dancefloor, Degiheugi always transports us to his first hip-hop loves, for the sheer pleasure of the "beautiful loop". And that is why he knows how to surround himself as he should: the guests, faithful cronies (Ghostown, Andrre, Astrid Van Peetersen), or newcomers (Ceschi, Josh Martinez), join the party with high-level features. The title of the album then sounds like a prophecy: an eternal smile while listening to Degiheugi.

Reissue, originally released in 2008. For his third LP, Degiheugi, a very productive producer, returns with a magnificent and very well-done cake. True goldsmith's work, The Broken Symphony is a pure jewel. Between rap, trip-hop and electro, Degiheugi is this time accompanied by rapper Ghostown, singer Nawelle and talented hacker L'omelette, already present on his previous opus. Produced under a Creative Commons license and available on the Degiheugi website for legal download, The Broken Symphony is composed of assemblies and sound tinkering of all kinds reminiscent of a certain Wax Tailor, see Morcheeba on the excellent "My Gypsy Nights". But let's stop the quick comparisons there. Listen to the broken symphony once, then listen twice and then it becomes almost obsessive. The inspirations are numerous, coming as much from funk, jazz as from classical music or film scores (Morricone...). You will be overwhelmed by hypnotic atmospheres, oceans of color and very real feelings. Floods of stories that incessantly appeal to the imagination as the musical richness and the quality of the production are taken care of. Very coherent, this "broken symphony" is crossed by the same breath, a melancholy spleen... The colors are dark certainly, but cut in the best velvet: warm and moiré. Dark and bright at the same time. Cover art produced by Degiheugi. Also features Mo-te and Screenatorium.
