Bearface (Raj Panasa) releases his groundbreaking new single, 'French Orkestra.’ The track cleverly weaves together house beats and grooves with the lush, resonant sounds of woodwinds, keys, horns, and percussion to create a soundscape that is both modern and timeless. ‘French Orkestra’ begins with a steady yet catchy beat that gradually builds, layering each instrument to create a rich tapestry of sound. As the song progresses, the energy intensifies, leading to a euphoric peak to captivate and energize listeners. Bearface’s innovative approach in 'French Orkestra' showcases his ability to blend genres seamlessly. It highlights his exceptional skill in crafting music that is both complex and accessible. This single is a testament to his creative prowess and his relentless pursuit of pushing musical boundaries.
Inspiration for the track came from a Flea market in Marseille. Bearface liked the idea of taking old pieces and making something new. He also added drum sounds from a drum machine (Pioneer Sp16 toraiz) as well as live percussion and live instruments.
Reflecting on the song, Bearface says “‘French Orkestra' was an exploration of blending traditional French music with the vibrant energy of French Touch. Instead of the usual disco samples, I incorporated elements of classic French melodies and instrumentation. The goal was to create a track that feels both timeless and contemporary, capturing the elegance of French music with the infectious groove of house. This track is my tribute to the rich musical heritage of France, reimagined for the dance floors of today."
