To celebrate the ten years of Cracki Records, the label offers a compilation that is not only a look back to the past, gathering the tracks that have marked the history of Cracki, but also is a projection towards the future with the association, in a same project, of artists that have always been important for the label. Cracki Records wishes to recreate the constellation of friendly and sincere influences that surrounds the label through exclusive features and remixes. In addition to the label's usual foals, on this compilation you meet their friends Juan Wauters, Chassol, David Numwami, Lord Apex, NxxxxxS, Myd, Voiski, Tryphème, Myth Syzer, and Black Devil Disco Club. With these new collaborations, these encounters that go beyond borders, Cracki Records is projecting itself towards unknown territories, always in search of offering its audience innovative projects, against the trends and mercantile imperatives. The artistic bubbling, the sensitivity and the human connection will always come first. Also features Agar Agar, GENTS, Saint DX, Ménage à Trois, Lucien & The Kimono Orchestra, LeonxLeon, Folamour, Eliott Litrowski, Renart, Antonin Appaix, Yen Yen & David Numwami, Schultz & Forever, and Eliott.

French synth-pop talent Lucien & The Kimono Orchestra unveils his new solo piano album, a journey into cinematic soundscapes. Alone at the piano, Lucien takes us on a very personal album in a deep and quiet reverie. With Piano Matinée, you spend a soft winter morning in his company, reminiscing about tender childhood memories. Between previously unreleased tracks and revisited Kimono Orchestra pieces, Piano Matinée concludes a trilogy of recordings which have barely been released, while paving the way for a wider future. Universal, sensitive, cinematographic, the piano language spoken here by Lucien opens you to his musical world in a light that is both more authentic and accessible. The album also tells us a personal story. That of a grandfather -- an exceptional pianist but forced to give up his career when the Second World War broke out -- who passed on to him a taste for music in his early childhood, before passing away. Many years later, Lucien came across old cassette recordings of his eldest son, soon afterwards having a disturbing dream in which he swore he had had a dialogue with him and decided to go his own way. The self-taught musician spent a whole year honing his piano skills before deciding to freeze his performance in the summer of 2019 at the legendary Steinway at the Studios Saint-Germain. Drawing freely on all his influences -- jazz, funk, classical, cinema -- Lucien's Piano Matinée is a special object, as intimate as it is melodious.

French electro-pop band Lucien & The Kimono Orchestra presents Hayao's Garden, their new EP, which closes the triptych of the two previous albums. This is an imaginary road trip in agreement with the previous records, keeping the usual groove-to-psychedelic flights while maintaining the melancholic melodies dear to the Kimonos. The beginnings of this EP are also based on remarkable encounters, especially with Gregory (Point G), the spiritual guide who pushes this introspective work, and then many more crusaders on the way. It is also the meeting of four musicians, who knew each other for a long time and waited for the right moment to regroup, forming Lucien & The Kimono Orchestra. Rich with melodies close to the variety and music of '80s French movies, and Japanese funk, this opus is romantic and delicate. There is a desire to be naive, light, and free at the same time, to be caught by the movement of clouds in the sky. Features Moodoïd.

Mark Du Mosch and Eliott Litrowski. This is the new association that makes up Cracki Records' Vâhana #2. This unique alliance perfectly represents what Cracki Records wishes to create and transmit with its project Vâhana, i.e. the meeting between an established artist and an artist in the making. On the one hand, the experienced Dutch producer, respected by the entire electronic scene thanks to his raw and emotional work. In the imagery of Cracki Records, he would be the equivalent of the Indian god Ganesh, a huge elephant symbol of intelligence and power, who came to illuminate the minds of all with his extensive knowledge. At his side is Eliott Litrowski, the young French revelation living in Copenhagen with mad energy and boundless creative ambitions. At the head of his own label Fuego International, he also recently released Smock Machine, the latest release on David Vunk's label Moustache Records. Eliott here represents the "Vâhana" of the god Ganesh, i.e. his mount, which is represented in Indian Mythology by a malicious and stirring little mouse. Thanks to his help, the imposing Ganesh can finally get everywhere and solve all the problems. For this Vâhana #2, elephant Mark and mouse Eliott join forces and offer us a two-part adventure. Eliott opens the ball with "Fistebar", and sends us to distant horizons, with a gentle introduction dressed in cosmic arpeggiators. "Hello Wave" then takes you aboard a spaceship for a wild and rich race in suspense, before moving on to the song "Peace Zone". Contrary to what its name suggests, this excited title is a real intersidereal war zone where lasers are flying. The second part, directed by Mark du Mosch, brings you back to Earth. The inspirations on this side originate below the Earth's surface, in the heat of the planet's liquid core. "Liquo & Patchou" offers us an introduction in the form of romantic and dreamy poetry, before "Stormwatch", a raw and rough piece, symbolizes the explosion of the EP's outlet. This second side finally ends with "P2 Lush Dub", a vaporous and mysterious outro, closing this record by already letting you dream of the next one.

Isaac Delusion drew his imagination from trips to Iceland and elsewhere, from experiences. Everything has grown, some dates in New York for the CMJ Festival, Berlin, Barcelona or Warsaw, the Pitchfork Festival, Radio Nova, vinyl, meetings. The group is apart, it wanders while preserving its identity -- the spirit of Cracki Records hovers over the project. First discovery of the label in 2012, the duo barely existed. The dream sticks to their skin, in fact. Just as when trying to catch one, it flies away, their music is elusive. The first disc spoke of a sun at midnight, the second is dawn. The chosen horizon is not defined, the four artists are still searching for each other and continue their path with candor.

CRACKI 049EP

Renart, a young producer, is one of the proudest representatives of the new French techno scene. Known for his production, it is on stage that he impresses the most, with intense sets with textures worked and tinged with trance, true techno epics. Making music with mythological accents, Renart has released several EPs since 2010, at Cracki Records, Versatile, Dawn Records, and Fragrant Harbor. Inspired by ancient techno, Romanesque, and traditional music sounds, and sometimes Oriental, Renart tells a story of hypnosis and psyche, made of throbbing repetitions, reminiscences of happy mornings where the stars are dying.
