Biography of Masomenos
The so funky duo Masomenos, is a productive partnership between Joan Costes, a graphic designer and DJ, and Adrien de Maublanc, a producer and sound engineer. They both clearly have a ball with ‘Welcome to Masomenos' an audio-visual system they use to produce their spontaneous, light-hearted, psychedelic, no-limits universe. It is a place where their 'Friends', a mischievous and multi-coloured bunch of animals that appeal to children have chosen to set up home with lots of other crazy characters in their outrageous, souk-style, flashy fuchsia-coloured shop that is simply unmissable, located at Masomenos, 34 rue du Mont-Thabor, Paris 1.
During hugely funny and inevitably brightly coloured initiatives, the planet of Masomenos never ceases to revolve around, you will have guessed, its own very special sun - music. Because it is music and music alone, a passion shared by these two love- birds, that is the source, the reason, the vehicle, the springboard from which everything else follows, because our original source of inspiration - our ears have therefore been able to enjoy the delights of ‘Bon Voyage’ (2007), a bright and sunny compilation that is a cross between a mix and a bootleg; ‘Plouf Ep’, a disc released by Sister Phunk in January; ‘Belly Dance’, an hilarious ode to belly- dancing. In 2008, they've achieved their Masomenos Livemix Project, which constisted of 8 Eps and a live mixed album made out with the 24th tracks from the single releases, that include some collaboration with Chris Carrier, or Kreon & Lemos. Masomenos have also worked on some remixes for Berovic & Leicher (on International Freakshow) and for Soul Clap (On Airdrop).
