A new release from the Paris based electronica percussion specialist
For Maxime Buffel, aka OBu, the journey into music began early in life with an introduction to piano and drums. The impact of that introduction resonated deeply with OBu, igniting a passion to create and experiment with sound, as well as the confidence to follow through on that desire.
Following classical training in percussion at the Versailles Conservatory, France, OBu began to dig deeper into the possibilities of composing work which drew on both classical percussion and modern electronica. The producer now has a growing discography of house and techno to his name, invigorated by deep grove and melodies which look to cosmic horizons. OBu preforms both live and using turntables, with an interest in remixing tracks from fellow artists between focusing on his own releases.
OBu is also part of the electronic percussionist group Medium Douce, a project which has brought him onto the same stage as performers like DJ Virginia and Chez Damier. The carefully layered beats and experienced sense of rhythm which run through Medium Douce mirror the core of OBu’s solo work, the newest addition to which is a fresh two track EP titled ‘Thirty’. The release hums with organic beats, seated within and deep pad samples and given intensity by techno house waves.
