Hardt Antoine shares masterly new EP I Will

The Reculture label head crafts a two-track masterclass in hypnotic house music

Acclaimed DJ, producer and Reculture label head Hardt Antoine returns with his eclectic new EP I Will, out 10th May on Kompakt.

Hardt Antoine’s latest two-track EP brings him back to the Kompakt mothership with a bang. Opener ‘I Will’ is a sensual, percussion-driven house anthem for those morning hours, when spirits are high and the sense of unity is palpable. ‘La Mosca’ takes a more hypnotic approach, putting a joyous chant of unknown origin to good use.

Seamlessly weaving between DJ, producer, label head and promoter, HARDT ANTOINE’s artistic credentials cut boldly through the dance music. His eclectic music taste – strongly stemmed from his mixed French and Jamaican heritage – muses between many genres including house, classical, soul and ‘80s pop, resulting in productions which blend exciting melodies, sprinkles of vocals and an abundance of groove – all underpinned with a temptatious techno kick. Antoine’s strong output has been a favourite across the club circuit from Berghain’s Panorama Bar to fabric and SXM Festival, with tracks subsequently signed to electronic music’s most respected big-name labels including Innervisions, Kompakt, Correspondant, TAU and fabric Records.

Further afield, Antoine brings his expertise to label ANEMOS DANCE, which he runs with Maglia, Ilias Petrakis and DJ Gregory. The label has released some of Europe’s most sought-after electronic tracks, from both bigger names and rising artists in the scene, with all tracks composed in The Cyclades during the off season.

As well as playing an extensive selection of records and making music, Hardt Antoine runs his own label and event series, Reculture, the London brand focused on bringing quality electronic music to the capital.

Across two tracks of hypnotic and artfully crafted electronic music, I Will is an EP that indicates 2024 will become another banner year for Hardt Antoine.
