Nathalie Duchene

About

Capturing the essence of the character and the music of Nathalie Duchene is like considering the dichotomy which opposes day and night, the moon to the sun, she draws her inspiration from Belgian electro by Soulwax, the House/French Touch of Stardust, and the visionary techno of Kraftwerk. Her unique style, born from this fusion of influences, makes her a prominent figure in today's electronic scene. Nathalie Duchene grew up in Belgium and moved to Paris at the age of 18. In March 2022, Nathalie released her debut solo EP "Praia" on the TOY TONICS label. Taken from Portuguese, the title means "beach". Like a nod to Nathalie Duchene's own duality, the record's cheerful style of house is equally at ease on a sun-drenched beach in the middle of summer (like the eponymous track Praia) as it is at a club in the middle of the night, when dancing completely takes over (“Glaston” et “I Don’t Need Nobody”). The remixes help complete the duality which defines Nathalie Duchene. While Yuksek brings a more nocturnal touch to “Praia”, Boombass infuses “Glaston” with tropical sounds which instantly turn up the heat. In 2023 she released her single « don’t go » on Boston Bun ‘s resurgent Circa’99 label, taking inspiration from Daft Punk’s raw filtered synth sounds and drops them over thumping house drums with a belting female vocal deep in the mix. It’s brightly colored, peak time track. In September 2024, she will announce signing three new tracks with the Australian label Club Sweat.
