- The French producer will release a three-tracker for InFiné Music in April.
- Rone will drop his next EP, Apache, on April 7th. French producer Erwan Castex is still riding high off the release (and reissue) of his 2012 album Tohu Bohu, which RA's Stephane Girard called "a huge leap forward... the work of an artist fully in charge of his vision and craft." Apache will be the first release of new material since the LP and its raft of singles (plus a healthy helping of remixes), and comes after a move back to France, where he built a new studio, from his former home of Berlin. It's reportedly a mix of synth-heavy, dance-friendly sounds (including the "sleazy acid loops" of "Bachi-Bouzouk") and more experimental material ("Origin" promises "an internal torrent of noise and abstract tones"), and it'll come on French imprint InFiné Music. Castex has also announced a short US tour to go with the EP, which will begin on April 3rd at Glasslands in NYC and then cut through Montreal, Detroit (where he plays alongside Oneohtrix Point Never), Chicago, LA and San Francisco, before finishing off with an appearance at Coachella.
