ARROYO, 24 years old, first worked at radio Nova (organising the Novamix),
when he moved to Paris a few times ago, then as a post production assistant
in Bruce Keen and Alex Firla’s studio. Nowadays, he’s DJ
at the trendy parisian restaurant Georges (on top of Centre Georges
Pompidou), and composer for STEPHANE POMPOUGNAC (compilations such as
Costes 4, Georges as well as Stephane Pompougnac’s forthcoming
album due out in april 2003).
Now as
L'AROYE, he also produces on his own. He first got noticed lately with
his fine remix of “Save The Love� by KARL THE VOICE on Laplage
records (a track also to be featuring on Karl’s own lp). Apart
from collaborations planned with MAINE Records –electro jazz label
run by another funky Parisian, ERIC RUG- his main aim is to work along
side PABLO VALENTINO to establish the ever changing Faces sound as some
of the true pioneers of a broken sonic language yet to be written…
Faces introduction:
In the true adventurous spirit of his Kenbun radio show (based in Strasbourg,
at the French eastern frontier and available online on wabam.com), PABLO
VALENTINO is all about good music period. May it be jazz, hip-hop, techno,
broken beats or whatever… but always trying to explode and explore
the boundaries between all creating patterns past, present and future.
