Kid Francescoli

About

Kid Francescoli doesn’t just make music; he crafts sonic postcards from sun-drenched Mediterranean shores, imbued with a sophisticated melancholy. Mathieu Hocine, the Marseille-based architect behind the moniker, blends elements of French house, dream pop, and cinematic electronica, creating a sound that's both intimate and expansive. His music evokes images of languid summer days and starry nights, fueled by a retro-futuristic aesthetic. Francescoli's breakthrough came with his sophomore album, "With Julia," particularly the viral hit "Moon (And It Went Like)," solidifying his status as a purveyor of sensual, atmospheric soundscapes. Prior to that, his work with Oh! Tiger Mountain marked his initial foray into the indie music scene. His career is punctuated by collaborations, including those with singer Julia Minkin (of which the album "With Julia" takes its name) and, more recently, Nassee, further refining his signature sound. He has a knack for weaving together lush instrumentation and captivating vocals, creating an almost hypnotic effect. Kid Francescoli's latest releases, including albums "Lovers" and "Sunset Blue" continue to showcase his mastery of blending electronic textures with emotive melodies, cementing his place as a key player in the French electronic music scene. Currently, he continues to tour and produce, solidifying his vision of sun-kissed electronica for the masses.
