The so funky duo Masomenos, is a productiv 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 Masome-nos' an audio-visual system they use to produce their spontaneous, light-hearted, psychedelic, no-limits uni-verse. It is a place where their "Friends", a mischie-vous 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 colou-red 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 compila-tion 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 theire Masomenos
Livemix Project, which constist in 8 Eps and an live mixed album made out with the 24th tracks from the single releases, that include some collaboration with Chris Carrier, or Kreon & Lemos. Lately Masome-nos have been working on some remixes for Berovic & Leicher (on International freakshow) and for Soul
Clap (On Airdrop). A new musical project is now on the way, but nothing should be revealed before 2009…
