A NEW MUSICAL PROJECT BY RENAUD LETANG starring friends & family: FEIST - CONNAN MOCKASIN - BENNY SINGS - CHILLY GONZALES - JAMIE LIDELL - SAUL WILLIAMS - VLADIMIR COSMA - PHILIPPE KATERINE - INFINITE BISOUS - JERRY PAPER - CHUUWEE - MEL D. PRODUCED BY RENAUD LETANG + CHILLY GONZALES. RECORDED AT STUDIOS FERBER.This is the album of a lifetime. Or rather half a life spent, since the age of eighteen, in the shadow of recording studios. Under the multi-faceted pseudonym of DRIFT, AT THE PARTY is an album by one of the world's most renowned and sought-after French sound engineers and producers of the last three decades: Renaud Letang. ManuChao, Chilly Gonzales, Feist, Mathieu Booagerts, Lianne La Havas, Philippe Katerine, Saul Williams, Jane Birkin, Seu Jorge, Micky Green, Connan Mockasin and Amadou & Mariam have regularly called on him, sometimes to the point of not being able to do without this producer with golden hands and rare hearing. For years now, Victoires de la Musique award-winner and Grammy Award-nominee Renaud Letang has been secretly preparing an album project with all his artist friends, in the basement of Studios Ferber. His Canadian accomplice Chilly Gonzales, with whom he formed the successful producer tandem VV in the 2000s, has encouraged him to release his songs, which he composes in the dark between two recording or mixing sessions. Renaud Letang sees his compositions as "drift music", with a wide stylistic palette - from sunny disco pop (At the Party, Working on Me) to naive jazz (Papaya, A Night in Waimea), from futuristic hip hop (Cosmic Drift, That's All) to dreamlike tracks (Très Gentiment In Waimea). The word DRIFT, the multi-faceted alias chosen by Renaud Letang, describes precisely this perpetual movement, which wonderfully spills over into this collegial record, open to all vocal marriages: Feist, Chilly Gonzales, Connan Mockasin, Benny Sings, Philippe Katerine, Jamie Lidell, Saul Williams, Infinite Bisous, Jerry Paper, Chuuwee, Mel D and Vladimir Cosma all feature in the credits of 'At the Party."In the end, I made the record I had in mind, with a level of demand for official groove and sensitivity." Breathing in Californian music and collective energy for a fantasized musical comedy, AT THE PARTY is a fascinating musical journey, to be listened to as much on a sunny day as after dark. The soundtrack of the summer with the cast of the year.
