After having reissued on vinyl the 8 albums composing his discography, French beatmaker Degiheugi presents his new project "Remixed Treasures" on April 21, 2023. His new project ? Not exactly, as it is the first remixed album in the producer’s career...A project that bears its name well. Like seabed adventurers, the remixers have been asked to rework in their own way some of the most significant tracks of a career spanning more than 20 years. Starring L'Orange, Moderator, Souleance, iZem, The Architect, Senbei, Al Tarba, Mounika, DJ Vadim, La Fine Equipe, Kognitif, ProleteR and Scratch Bandits Crew, the XXL cast of this impressive crossover melts genres (hip-hop, electro, ambient, drum & bass, jazz...) and brings together no less than 13 beatmakers from different scenes and generations. If Degiheugi offers us some familiar collaborations with The Architect, Al'Tarba, Senbeï or even Mounika., he also went looking for beatmakers from outside his first circle such as the pioneer DJ Vadim, the American L'Orange, duo Souleance or iZem and Moderator. And for the cover? None other than Spanish painter Dulk for a colorful association whose coherence and aesthetics have been praised for several albums, this time in an underwater register. Following its series of reissue, Degiheugi is now presenting his "Remixed Treasures" on April 21, 2023 (almost exactly 2 years after the release of his latest album "Foreglow"), as the final point of this major retrospective on his past discography. While remaining faithful to his reputation as a goldsmith of music, the producer turns himself into a meticulous conductor, choosing his musicians one by one and leaving them the front stage to give birth to an osmosis that never fades. At the end of the year, people will have the chance to experience live this new facet as Degiheugi is preparing his first orchestral show alongside 17 classical musicians. A poetic interlude before seeing this essential artist of the French beatmaking scene puts on his diving suit again in search of new nuggets for his next solo album.
