The duo of Guillaume Grosso and Jeremy Duval is one of the most seminal ever to have graced French electronica for a long time. While most of their contemporaries are ensconced in absurdly sophisticated clicks and cuts and dementedly chiselled drills, Principles take the emotional route and develop an accurate and refined cocoon of vintage synthesizers, spanners, majestic basslines and, as jacked as it may sound, Wagner-like harmonies.

Self confessed music geeks in their own rights, the duo has developed its own core-values and attitudes to living the right way whilst toiling in the least glamorous section of the advertising industry, in the northern city of Lille. For Principles of Geometry, the lifestyle can never be hairy enuff and their musical educations through complete back-catalogues of stellar imprints such as Benbecula, Warp, Rephlex, Gooom, Def Jux or Sonig was one punctuated with ‘tenderness instant’, ‘open-fly merriment’ and total ‘Moustache’ satisfaction.
