Musical explorer Debruit returns with a new solo album 'Outside The Line', set for release through his new imprint ICI.
After drifting far at sea, Debruit is reaching the coast of an imaginary land where ancient west Africa cohabits with 80's New York. Hooked on a theme of "African coldwave", 'Outside The Line' collects unexpected musical flotsam, combining polyrhythmic dance patterns with synthetic machine music. Its a territory where the chant heavy, minimal strut of 'Separated Together' rubs up against DFA-style dub-disco on 'Shock' and hi-tempo shenanigans on 'Transverse'.
French producer and musician Xavier Thomas aka Debruit is a musical explorer who imagines alternate worlds and the way they'd sound. He plays with time and disparate sounds, molding static dimensions and geographical borders into new asymmetrical audio forms. His music is electronic but with a human feel.
