About Me

Bio :
Né à Marseille en 1985, n'to fait partie de la nouvelle vague d’artistes de la musique électronique qui ne passe pas par la case DJ, mais qui se lance directement dans la production. Âgé de 22 ans, il a déjà été traversé par plusieurs courants musicaux, le rock des années 70 laisse chez lui une trace indélébile. Mais c’est avec « Everything everything » d’Underworld qu'il s'ouvre à la musique électronique ; N’to va en faire son moyen d’expression privilégié, sans pour autant négliger d’autres formes telles que le hip/trip hop et la musique acoustique (Myspace electro-accoustique : http://www.myspace.com/eento ) On peut reconnaître dans son travail des influences sonores qui viennent de la planète « Border », ou encore du créateur de génie qu’est Stephan Bodzin. Mais N’To émet un son qui lui est propre, des sonorités pointillistes, rapides, une rythmique tapageuse, travaillée à l’extrême. Il déstructure les sons, trahit nos habitudes, et livre au final quelque chose d’absolument cohérent, au-delà de nos attentes. Bambu, label montpellierain a été le premier a lui donner sa chance. Sa sensibilité a depuis séduit d'autres labels tels que Basilic, Erratom (Skryptom) et Turbo Rec. qui ont cru en sa musique. Depuis son premier live durant l'été 2008, ses performances se sont affinées et ont gagné en assurance. Il est désormais invité à partager l'affiche avec les plus grands (paul kalkbrenner, guy gerber, popof...)
English :
N'To was born in Marseille in 1985. His love story with music sprang in his early childhood when the seventies rock songs rang to his ears. He started by learning guitar and could never give up making music since then. since 2004, N'To, real musicaholic, has been producing his own electro music as well as other kinds of music such as hip/trip hop and accoustic music. (You can visit his non electro music at http://www.myspace.com/eento ) Influenced by minimal and techno artists such as James Holden, Extrawelt, Stephan Bodzin and kollektiv turmstrasse, he succeeded into creating his own style: smoothy melodies surrounded by efficient minimal rhythms impose n'to's touch as stunningly original and innovative.. Bambu, a label from Montpellier, gave him his first shot. His promising beginnings made other labels such as Basilic from paris, Erratom (part of skryptom) and recently Turbo rec. believe in his music. From his first live during summer 2008, everything has moved forward quickly, his performance gained in confidence and his show is always improved. His audience stands by him and follows his music to ever bigger stages so that he is now sharing the lines-up with electro monsters like paul kalkbrenner, guy gerber, popof, ...
