Cover-Artworks by ONE!MAN / iD.EOLOGYBrigitte Bijoux never gave much about your average girls-stuff like playing with dolls or collecting verses in an album with a pink sleeve and floral illustrations. Quite early, she took a liking in fashion and style, though. Luckily, her parents weren't the ones to bring her up with clichés and attitudes but put her on their roof-rack and went criss-crossing through all of Europe. Her dad, who was a programmer, chose giving his little daughter a C64 over a Barbie-doll house, thus switching tracks towards the perception of purely electronic music.
It really was the DJ of the Paris dancing-school "Petit Fountainebleau", though, who pushed ignition and launched Brigitte into a whole new world when he naughtily backed a Disco-Fox with a techno-record by Ramirez. Rhumba and Cha-Cha were forgotten within a blink and mum's money wasn't being wasted on dancing-lessons anymore. Wheels of Steel were needed and digging for new sounds in record-stores soon became a passion. Then in 1994, jungle was the hype of the hour, d'n'b and breakbeats were the soundtrack to life.
The common denominator for Brigitte's tracks is breaks, bass, melody and a personally customized approach to music. Her EP "Le Fleuve Profond" points the way from old-skool triphop via ambient jungle to her new home: Tokyo. "Désintoxication" is an eloquent direct hit, a documentation of the absorbed Japanese world in which Manga, an epic apocalypse and a glimpse of hope collide. For dreams are never deeper than during dawn - when the vibe of nightmusic catches you.
