Chateau Flight

About

Chateau Flight, the Parisian duo of Gilbert Cohen (aka Gilb’r) and Julien Briffaz, has carved a niche as one of electronic music’s most enigmatic and boundary-pushing acts. Blending deep house, cosmic disco, and experimental soundscapes, their music is a hypnotic journey through time and space, where analog synths meet futuristic grooves. Emerging in the early 2000s, Chateau Flight quickly became synonymous with the revival of French electronic music, drawing inspiration from the likes of Jean-Michel Jarre and Larry Heard while forging a sound entirely their own. Their breakthrough came with the release of their debut album, *Les Vampires*, in 2005, a record that showcased their ability to weave cinematic narratives into dancefloor-ready tracks. Over the years, they’ve collaborated with legends like I:Cube and DJ Harvey, further cementing their status as tastemakers. Their work with the Versatile Records label has been pivotal, blending their love for vintage gear with a forward-thinking approach to production. Chateau Flight’s cultural impact lies in their ability to bridge the gap between nostalgia and innovation, creating music that feels both timeless and contemporary. Their live performances are legendary, often featuring modular synth improvisations that push the boundaries of electronic music. Currently, the duo continues to explore new sonic territories, with recent projects including remixes for emerging artists and a highly anticipated new album. Chateau Flight remains a beacon of creativity in an ever-evolving electronic music landscape.
