Antoine Guigan Explores Sonic Boundaries with No Pants Allowed EP

Hailing from France, producer Antoine Guigan presents a tantalizing clash of genres with No Pants Allowed. The EP comprises 7 tracks that amount to tens of minutes of deep exploration into a work of idiomatic electronic production pairing jazz with breakbeat, rock, and other genre-defying sounds.

With divergent textures, cinematic builds, and unexpected, sometimes jarring rhythmic structures, listeners will inhabit the shifting experience of Guigan’s sound design throughout the episodic voyage of No Pants Allowed;

• Guigan opens the record with “Steppenwölfe,” mixing downtempo and progressive house with dome-dancing prowess, conveying the swirling free spirit of the literary soul of the titular work.

• “Le Jardin” terrains the concert hall, with a cinematic escape to the orchestral, eerily tranquil, imperfectly forgotten, paradise of a soundscape.

•  “Casey is Rad,” the robust snare-shot banger, overlays breakbeat energy and jestful rebellion, as a cue for what is yet to come as Guigan’s sound evolves.

• “Pearl” harks undertones of deep house and hypnotic dub heaviness layered under soft ethereal beats marooning a sweet melodica.

• On “Magma Creatures,” Guigan dives headfirst towards atonal, bass-heavy free jazz for possibly Guigan’s most experimental moment.

• In “Kindness Subversion,” Guigan changes his trajectory with spoken-word poetry, blending psychedelic rock, incorporating a message of love and rebellion.

• Finishing off with a hidden bonus track, “White Savior” closes with an industrial labyrinthine of raw sound, a punctuated and dour addition.

Originating from Rezé, France, Antoine Guigan commits to expanding the limits of electronic music. His genre-fluid approach to music, combined with an astute sense of melody, rhythm, and space, makes No Pants Allowed a bold and provocative listening experience.
