Five Essentials: Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts (urban essence source)

Groovy and at times hypnotic, Guillaume has been making waves in the house scene for some time now, even before his foray as one man bandGuillaume & The Coutu Dumonts, with his solo project debut release Face À L’Est on Musique Risquee back in 2007 as a sign of things to come.

Guillaume followed in the footsteps of many before him in relocating to Berlin where he truly built on his varied musical experiences to bring out his live one man band. Not limited to the traditional programming restrictions of a DJ set, he’s added to that band and started to explore the potential that live instruments allow in their shows, working to expand on his own productions and accomplishing something more organic. With the Revolution In The Cycles EP, Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts’ glitchy, hypnotic debut on Freerange and the label’s 201st release(!), out this week we caught up with the Canadian-born Berlin resident for an insight into five fundamental tracks that have shaped and influenced his productions over the years.
