Swiss label Les Arts Minis returns today after a three-year hiatus with the Maidenhead EP created by veteran Geneva-based DJ/producer/musician Jérome Soudan (a.k.a. Mimetic). On “Gone,” which were extremely pleased to world premiere, Soudan taps into his two decades of edpertise and channels his penchant for industrial-strength beats and grooves into a seamless collision with a serrated techno backdrop.
Soudan had this to say about his fiery cut: “In French dialect ‘gone’ means kids, something like ‘kids of the street.’ It sounded interesting to me to make an analogy with what it means in English, and all the works that artist were working on with that notion of leaving behind everything you know and starting a new life, relating to the maidenhead notion.”
