Bio
If we had to choose the one artist who had the most dramatic impact on French house music in 2017, it would have to be Folamour. With his unique groove, his Japanese-inflected sound and his instinctive feel for sampling, the co-founder of Moonrise Hill Material (alongside Éthyène and Okwa) took the scene by storm. With nine EPs and two albums under his belt, in no time the Lyon-based producer has gone from bedroom producer to central fixture in French house spheres, bouncing frenetically between DJ sets and cutting edge artistic collaborations. Wearing his disco, funk and 80s house influences like a badge of honour, Folamour’s mixes are greeted ecstatically wherever they appear, from internet forums to international dancefloors.
With six releases in 2017 alone – five EPs and one album, Umami, an instant classic on Moonrise Hill Material – Folamour’s commitment to the nu-disco revival is there for all to see. Anticipation is already growing for his set on the third night of Nuits Sonores 2018.
