Niveauzero

An eclectic producer, HxC bassist gone through the hip hop and drum n bass scenes, Niveau Zero knows how to mix his various influences into a tricky yet efficient sound. Electronica, abstract hiphop, dubstep and rock : here are the main ingredients of a hearty recipe.

This amazingly openminded music lover delivers a taste of massive and melodic electronic music, a synthesis of all the genres that made his personality, from warp artists to today’s dubstep bangers.

Elected best electro new comer in 2008 by French biggest festival Printemps de Bourges in 2008, he just released a couple of fat dubstep EPs on label Destpub and Expressillon, and he s one of the leading producers in french Dubstep scene. But it’s not all about dubstep. Niveau Zero might play strictly dubstep serato sets as a DJ, his live performances shall not be reduced to a single genre. These sets may start with an ambient track, and end in an explosion of electronic metal breaks.

Niveau Zero has quickly gathered praises for his live shows (winning awards at France’s biggest music festival and spearheading the country’s dubstep scene) and productions, resulting in a first album which adequately demonstrates that one can still create “different” dubstep. Stepping aside of the most threaded paths, Niveau Zero and his guests (among whom label mates Broken Note and Hecq) twist the genre’s recipes and make it sound exhilarating again. Boundary-free, wild and imaginative: “In_Sect” is a break away from sectarianism.
