Review by "Musicality" of "Shura - Touch (François Rengère Bootleg Remix)"

Just found this one: Taylor from the "musicality" blog writes a small and nice review of my edit on "Shura - Touch". I'm not really french, as he writes, but the rest doesn't sound all that wrong...

I had never heard of François Rengère before today. The Frenchman has surprisingly pleasant production and his shadowy creation below has me confused...I love the sound but can't pinpoint exactly what elements I love. Everything seems to work together so well that the mix might as well be an original production. He is still making bootlegs, which is an unofficial remix, but this gives him the freedom to touch any track he wants. Obviously he had his eyes on this gem, and it couldn't have turned out any better. Love this guy so far.

"Always Go South EP" forthcoming on Portrait Digital Recordings

Here's the mindset for my upcoming Always Go South EP, which is also featured on Portrait Digital's Tumblr:

Always Go South EP 

This EP features 3 quite different tracks. While “Always Go South” and “One Winter Morning” can be described as progressive house tracks, “Nite Watch” tends a little more towards the deep house genre. Therefore, the EP describes my musical mindset quite well, as I’m mostly switching around between these two genres, depending on mood, feelings and time of the year. Mostly my goal is finding a rather complex, emotional, but at the same time catchy melody.

I was working on a completely different track when I had the idea for “Nite Watch”. I was actually trying to write a secondary melody for a very housy track, when I decided to use this melody in a completely new and slightly deeper tune. From then on, everything went fairly quick.

“One Winter Morning” on the other hand, took almost two years to get finished. I had the idea for the lead melody in the early hours of a very cold day a couple of years ago. Then, it took several sessions, all of them interrupted by months of no work on the track, to simplify the initial idea and arrangement towards the final EP version.

“Always Go South” in turn, which is giving the name to this EP, was made in more or less one very optimistic mood and ended up being one of my quicker productions. I’m very happy to release this EP with Portrait Digital, a label featuring a lot of promising and very talented artists.

Review for "Feel the Day"

Progressivehouseworldwide.com gave a nice review for my latest release "Feel the Day", here it is:

Francois Rengere aka Armas is back on NRG Dance Records with Feel the Day, a lovely slice of progressive house goodness. Armas does a very good job of paying attention to detail in this track. The dreamy atmosphere and crisp plucks are complemented nicely by the subtle vocal chop and lead line running throughout. This creates a lovely sense of space that takes the listener on a wonderful journey from start to finish. Excellent work overall by Armas that certainly leaves us wanting more.
