GILB’R IS A PIONEERING FIGURE IN THE FRENCH ELECTRONIC MUSIC SCENE SINCE THE 1990S. HE BUILT A SOLID REPUTATION AS AN AVANT-GARDE DJ AND PRODUCER, RENOWNED BOTH FOR HIS TECHNICAL SKILLS AND HIS ECLECTIC AND ENERGETIC MUSICAL APPROACH. WHETHER BLENDING HOUSE, TECHNO, DISCO, BASS MUSIC, AND JUNGLE OR CREATING INTROSPECTIVE AMBIENT SOUNDSCAPES, GLIB’R SETS OR PRODUCTIONS ARE A MASTERFUL EXPLORATION OF VERSATILITY AND DIALOGUE BETWEEN DIFFERENT WORLDS.
 

HE IS ALSO THE FOUNDER OF THE VERSATILE LABEL, A MAJOR NAME IN THE WORLD OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC, WHICH PERPETUATES HIS ATTACHMENT TO MUSICAL EXPLORATION, RELEASING ALBUMS BY RESPECTED ARTISTS SUCH AS I:CUBE, CHÂTEAU FLIGHT, ZOMBIE ZOMBIE, ETIENNE JAUMET, JOAKIM, OR ACID ARAB.

GILB’R RELEASED HIS FIRST SOLO ALBUM “ON DANSE COMME DES FOUS” IN 2021, WHICH APPROACH WAS MORE INTROSPECTIVE AND PERSONAL THAN THE CLUB CULTURE THE TITLE ACTUALLY REFERS TO. THE ALBUM IS A SOARING AND TRIPPY JOURNEY ACROSS 9 TRACKS FEATURING A PALETTE OF SOUNDS TRUE TO GILB’R’S SIGNATURE.
WE ALSO OWE HIM TWO BIG CLASSICS OF THE FRENCH TOUCH (SUNSHINE PEOPLE BY CHEEK, AND DISCO CUBIZM BY I:CUBE, REMIXED BY DAFT PUNK IN 1996).
HE MORE RECENTLY RELEASED THE EP “RUE KILLER / RIEN À SAVOIR” ON “DOUCEMENT LES BASSES”, HIS FRIEND ZALTAN’S NEW ANTINOTE SUB-LABEL.
 

ALSO A CURATOR, GILB’R HOSTED SEVERAL RADIO SHOWS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE DISSEMINATION OF SEVERAL GENRES OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC IN FRANCE. THESE DAYS HIS SHOWS CAN BE LISTENED ON THE ROVR WAVES.
 

IN ADDITION TO HIS SOLO CAREER, GILB’R IS ALSO INVOLVED IN NUMEROUS COLLABORATIONS, PRIMARILY WITH I:CUBE ON THEIR CHÂTEAU FLIGHT PROJECT (WITH THE RELEASE OF LA FOLIE STUDIO IN 2024), BUT ALSO WITH JUDAH WARSKY AND DJ SOTOFETT.

GILB’R AND I:CUBE, UNITED UNDER THE NAME CHÂTEAU FLIGHT FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS, OFFER A COMPLEX PUZZLE OF RICH AND ELABORATE RHYTHMIC TEXTURES, A TRUE COCKTAIL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE INFLUENCES.
