Jonquera – darkos

The Bamboo Shows are a label, podcast series and parties to promote audio sophrology, 90’s reminiscences, psychedelic atmospheres and exotic breaks. Founded by Erevan DJ in 2018 in Lyon, France. After two compilation tapes, here is a special limited-edition marbled red vinyl to celebrate the label’s first anniversary. Through “Darkos LP”, Lyon-talent Jonquera (also known as The Pilotwings, his collaborative project alongside Eiger Drums Propaganda & Lastrack) offers us an incredible 45-minute 14-track album thanks to its captivating atmosphere and an impeccable technique. Produced in one week only, the project between medieval dark-ambient, HD sound-design and esoteric illbient takes inspiration from Noise Music and Doom to introduce alternately a gloomy, epic or spiritual atmosphere. A surprising album narrating a feudal struggle between a heretic woman and a priest in the small town of Charlieu, France. A metaphoric way to highlight the duality of the project, always oscillating between medieval darkness and contemporary techniques of electronic music production. An occult thematic that we also find in the album artworks, painted by Toulouse-based Artist ALISON FLORA with her own blood.
