The storied music career of French producer, Pierre-Alexandre Busson is now over two decades long. After first coming to prominence in 2000, he has gone on to become an acclaimed remixer, composer and in-demand collaborator. In 24 years, the Reims-born electronic maestro has assembled a vast back-catalogue which includes no less than 6 full-
length studio albums. Known to many as Yuksek, Busson launched his DESTIINO project in 2021 as a “step away from the conventional creative processes and towards more spontaneous improvisation”. The idea was born out of lengthy studio synth sessions where Busson would jam away for hours on end with no real aim or goal. The outcome was a collection of dark, melancholicrecordings that impressed long-time friend Chloe so much, she convinced Busson to release them via her Lumière Noire label. Fans of Pierre-Alexandre Busson’s producer-alias DESTIINO will undoubtedly rejoice when hearing ‘Imagery’. The lead-single of this dreamy two-tracker oozes with carefree charm featuring a core rhythm that meanders frivolously to a murmuring backdrop of mechanical melodies and cloudy sound patterns mustering a bitter-sweet ambience that’ll leave listeners yearning for more. Somlake’ (feat. Inigo Vontier) closes the release with a syncopated calypso led groove,
lending ideas from numerous sources to cultivate an eclectic mix of styles similar to those heard on Destiino’s debut LP. Awash with coiling synth, sporadic percussion and wonderfully convolute pad effects the beat makes for a slick, quick-shifting melody that zigzags hazily along until its final measure.
