Life

Seuil was born in the Réunion department , which, along with the island of Mayotte, is the last remaining overseas department in France in the Indian Ocean . At the age of 18 he moved to Paris , where he still lives and produces today. In 2007 he founded the label Eklo. In addition to his commitment as a producer, he plays piano and percussion in different formations.

Since 2006, Seuil has released on various labels such as Multiplication Table, Lomidhigh, Moon Harbor Recordings and Freak'n Chic. He also produced many remixes for fellow musicians around the world.

The word Seuil comes from the French and means “threshold”. In audio technology , it can also be translated as “threshold value” , a term that describes the change in a body's reaction to e.g. B. describes sound waves from a certain frequency .

After numerous EPs, he released his first album Chamaeleonidae in April 2010 , which compared to his otherwise rather minimalist arrangements also has vocal parts, a wider range of instruments and less tempo overall. It was produced and mixed by the French house duo Joan Costes and Adrien de Maublanc (also known as Masomenos ). Another, differently mixed version of the album will be released in June.
