Joris Delacroix rose to prominence in the early 2010s with tracks created in his teenage bedroom (such as Air France and Maeva), quickly making his mark on the French electronic scene.
Blending both dancefloor energy and more eclectic sounds, the French artist from Montpellier crafted his unique world on his debut album, Room With A View, and took it to the stages of the biggest clubs and festivals, from Peacock Society to Cercle, as well as the Rex Club and Paleo Festival. He then embarked on several international tours, released a series of EPs, and a second album on Universal (Night Visions, 2018). Joris Delacroix firmly secured his place at the top of the French melodic techno scene, alongside artists like Worakls, NTO, and Joachim Pastor.
After spending a year and a half in the studio, Joris Delacroix returns with a project whose foundations have been deeply reworked. With a more focused team, he frees himself from conventions and places creative freedom at the heart of his process, aiming to rediscover the spontaneity that defines electronic music — the only genre where one can create a track in the morning, share it in the afternoon, and test it on the dancefloor that same evening.
This immediacy also marks the UK house scene, whose effective, stripped-back grooves will soon seep into Joris’ new productions, as he works on a series of singles released at a fast pace, going directly from producer to listener. No intermediaries, no constraints — only the joy of creating and sharing without style or format restrictions.
In this new venture, the French artist intends to collaborate with people from various backgrounds, whether singers, instrumentalists, or producers. It’s a way of continuing to expand his ever-evolving universe, while keeping melody as the central axis of his music.
After the stellar, languid deep house of Early Hours and the gritty bass of Need Your Attention, Joris Delacroix begins his new transformation at the end of November with the single Homie, the starting point of a project that will naturally extend to the stage, with a new live format designed for both festivals and concert halls.
