Philippe Quenum talks us through his new two-tracker, the Black Rebel EP, for Dame-Music…

Quenum
Black Rebel/Maison Natal

Describe the record in five words.
100 percent for the dancefloor.

What is it about this record that will appeal to the fans?
Its originality while still being Quenum style.

How does it differ from your last release?
My last single was more on the house tip – this is more edgy.

What was the inspiration for this release?
It’s hard to say, because there’s such a variety of things that influence me. Right now I’m really interested in working with vocals, but not necessarily singing, just constructions with voices.

If you had the chance to play this in any club, which would it be?
Panorama Bar at 8am.

DJ reactions
Hot Chip: “Always great to hear a new Quenum track and Black Rebel one is a banger – a real groove to it. Maison Natal is also a very nice production, but the first track is definitely the pick for me.”
Duffstep: “Yeah, chuggers!”
Konrad Black: “Quenum keeps coming with release after release of top-quality beats. Black Rebel is a killer as is Maison Natal.”
Adultnapper: “Nice grooves and great dancefloor tools.”
Darling Farah: “Loving the unique sampling in both of these tracks. Feeling Maison Natal the most for that simple fact.”
