Pâle Regard

Meet

Pâle Regard

Pâle Regard’s music is not gay. Pâle Regard’s music is not sad. Pâle Regard’s music is melancholic. The band knits a subtle mix of low-fi - smooth soundscapes with languorous voices and synths’ layers which gives it its genuine sound’s blueprint.

Drama Boy

Meet

Drama Boy

Dramaboy is a purveyor of modern electronic music filled with nostalgic memories. The producer and multi-instrumentalist became active early 2018 on Dirty Melody Records. His music layers ambient pads, dreamy melodies, hero bass-lines with soulful boogie, contemporary R&B, City Pop and Vaporwave analogue rhythms.

For the first 15 years, he only expressed himself musically as the drummer of bands such as McBaise or the Dead Pirates.

Following his first career success, he regained time control to start his solo music project at 36. He confronted teenage-like fears with added age-consciousness while enjoying the thrill of starting anew. Dramaboy seeks to defy the conventional narrative, proving that it's never too late for a second life. In an era where lifespans extend, Dramaboy's music is a testament to the possibility of reinvention, the pursuit of passion and the limitless potential of a second act.
