Solune, born Etienne Dauta, was raised in southern France in a family of active music lovers. Infected by his father who ran a record store in the 70/80’s, he always had the music virus and grew up surrounded by the family collection. His mother who was painting artist also introduced him to a world of tribal art, aboriginal and oriental spiritualities which brought him into a constant interest for ideas and views outside of the western modernity. After moving to Paris as a late teenager he started to work in the music industry. A passionate move made him to settle in Berlin a few years later and starting doing music with Alan Mathias as Arcarsenal, launching the Bass Cadet Records imprint and its record-store with best friend Laura Le Marchand. After having put out a handful of remarked releases as Arcarsenal, Etienne used his studio time to work on some more personal material and gave birth to “Journey Of The Folktales” on Bass Cadet Records in 2016. His full length work “Alteration-Cycles” followed closely on cassette. Consisting of 16 tracks, it dwells into deeper territories ranging from ambient to spiritual electronica and built upon a heavy field recording work captured during a trip to Mexico. Strong from theses solo experiences Solune was ask by Giles Smith and James Priestley to release an EP on Secretsundaze’s label in 2017. “The Hierophant” is paying tribute to Chicago and New York deep house masters but still keeping a very personal fingerprint. After closing his record store due to some unexpected and arduous reasons, Etienne launched Irrational Waves in 2018 with “Blowing Techniques”. Learning from his background, the new label stands for a more personal and creative approach as Solune offers himself here the possibility to release anything he feels through whatever medium would fit. The first 8 tracks mini-album centered around the concept of breathing, mixes up different shades of sub-driven deep house with jazz intonations and spaced out textures. It is shortly followed by "Astral Reunions", a mixed cassette of timeless music gathering spiritual jazz, abstract electronics, soul, krautrock with percussions and sacred sounds which sets the listener into an introspective and rousing sound experience. Solune also learnt the art of reading a crowd playing some of the best clubs in Europe from Berlin to Paris, Helsinki, Istanbul or Tbilissi. Passionately collecting a wide range of records since more than 15 years he’s able to work with a very versatile sound palette. He sees the DJ performance as a celebration of music for bodies and souls, keeping in mind that the most important is to be able to swiftly bring the audience from genre to genre within the timeframe of a set. Always excited by shaping new ideas and old inspirations into sounds, Solune will keep on pushing his own sound signature either on the decks or in the studio.
