Fred Falke and Byron the Aquarius is on Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at Good Room, Brooklyn. Lineup: Fred Falke.
In a career that's already spanned fifteen years, musician, producer, remixer and artist Fred Falke has been at the forefront of electronic music. 2000's classic Intro – created alongside fellow Frenchman Alan Braxe – came to define French Touch, a scene that also included the likes of Daft Punk, Étienne de Crécy and Cassius.
Later, at the behest of pop production alchemist Brian Higgins, Falke worked at UK-based pop laboratory Xenomania, helping create forward-thinking pop songs for the likes of Gossip, Mini Viva and Florrie. More recently he's helped solidify disco's return having co-written and produced Nervo's collaboration with Kylie Minogue, Jake Shears and Nile Rodgers, The Other Boys.
Running alongside these collaborations have been myriad official and hugely influential remixes for the likes of Robyn, Lana Del Rey, Nero, Hot Chip and U2, as well as 2006's solo debut Omega Man, 2011's debut album, Part IV, and his forthcoming EP, Alpha. For Falke, all these various disciplines help define who he is. “Making music for me, writing for others, remixing other people, producing other people – I love it all equally,” he explains. “It's all part of me as an artist.”
