Born in Tokyo, raised in Brazil, and educated in French schools, but it was in London that Noriko Sekiguchi, also known as POiSON GiRL FRiEND first found the music that would inspire her own work. She became infatuated with the UK and US house music that was filling the city in the mid to late 1980s, before returning to Tokyo, bringing the music with her to the city's clubs as a DJ. Releasing multiple albums, the POiSON GiRLFRiEND project – featuring a house and breakbeat-infused pop and R&B sound – reached minor commercial and critical acclaim. Sekiguchi's solo music along with her work in obscure group Kiss-O-Matic has experienced a small revival following some Japanese music fanatics exploration of 90s CD releases.

Maxence Cyrin

Maxence Cyrin

Maxence Cyrin has been played on NTS shows including Fervent Moon, with Only Shallow first played on 26 March 2018.

MAXENCE CYRIN is a classically trained French pianist currently residing in Paris. His latest album 'Modern Rhapsodies' is homage to electronic music. Maxence, accompanied only by his piano, has restyled 'Windowlicker' from Aphex Twin, 'Behind The Wheel' from Depeche Mode, 'Unfinished Sympathy' from Massive Attack, 'Smokebelch II' from Sabres Of Paradise and even 'Acid Eiffel' from Choice - one of Laurent's Garnier alter-egos. Indeed the latter runs the F Com label and with this album he has his first 100% acoustic release. What's so remarkable is the melodic richness of these classic dance tracks. The result is all the more impressive if you know that no musical scores exist for these tracks. Maxence had to note everything based on 'ear and feeling'. His versions are purified, but rhythmic. Perfect music quiz material in any case.
