Today Arnaud
returns on his own label Safari Electronique. This time alongside one of the
best and most consistent producers of the past couple of years, Sergio Munoz
aka Delete.
1990 saw the start of Le Texier's musical journey. A journey that has
taken him from early DJ sets and record shop management in Rennes, a five year
residency at Paris's 'Queen' Club, touring throughout Europe and North America,
the 2004 launch of 'Safari Electronique' Records, and, in 2006, a move to
London, where he now resides. Arnaud is now a regular spinner at some of the
cities finest, underground nightspots. ....
....
His productions and remixes have found homes on some wonderful labels.
In 2009 already Arnaud has released and remixed for Children of Tomorrow, 20:20
Vision, Robotronic and SCI+TEC Digital Audio.
....
....
Venezuela's Delete has been a productive roll to envy. Its scary to
think that Sergio, the man behind pseudonym, has only been producing just over
4 years. Why scary? Well, his effortless skill of moving from deep house,
through tech, and into techno is enviable. It has already seen him release and
remix on labels including Tic Tac Toe, Frankie Records, Saved, Resopal
Schallware, Be As One, Terminal M, SCI+TEC Digital Audio and of course Safari
Electronique.
....
....
Since its inception, and due to the quality and diversity of its output,
Safari has won great recognition and support throughout the international
scene. This has enabled Arnaud to attract and release material from artists
including D'Julz, Italoboyz, Shinedoe, Damian Schwarz, Luca Bacchetti and
Johnny D. ....
....
Today's release see's Arnaud & Delete drop three fantastic house
cuts. 'Funktion at Junction', 'Moonshine ABC's' and the London-Venezuela
dedicated 'Kensal Caracas Street'.
....
To round off the release 'Kensal Caracas
Street' gets a gorgeous reworking from Greek producer Ekkohaus. In superb form,
Ekkohaus has already, in 2009, released on labels including Eklo, Liebe Detail,
Circus Company, 20:20 Vision and Morris Audio. Now he brings his supreme
talents to Safari Electronique.

DeeJay Magazine Spain - Desde el sello francés, Safari E. nos
llega un ep con 3 destacados tracks y un remix de Ekkohaus. Casualidades de la
vida, hace unas semanas comentábamos la buena música que estaban sacando y de
repente nos llega esta release con nombres como Le Texier y Delete, el cual nos
hemos acostumbrado a verlo por diferentes grandes sellos en los últimos
tiempos. Esta vez se juntan para traernos un trabajos cargado de tech house,
con dosis de elegantísimo, y un buen feeling en las bases. Nunca sin olvidar
hacia donde están encarados, que son la pista, los grandes clubs y las grandes
maletas. Destacaremos el remix de Ekkohaus, que le da un toque sublime a la
vuelta y el original del mismo, el cual le da titulo al EP.....
....
Raveline Magazine Germany - Hier legt der Chef noch selbst Hand an, Arnaud Le Texier seines
Zeichens Labelchief von Safari Electronique, präsentiert uns die, zusammen mit
Delete produzierte, EP „Kensal Caracas ....
Street“. Los geht’s mit
„Function At Junction“, eine Nummer mit einer klaren Aussage: auf die Fresse!
„Kensal Caracas Street“ kommt hier schon deutlich ruhiger, ja schon fast
Tech-housig rüber. Die Beats sind knackig und die Vox passt perfekt, schönes
Ding. Im „Ekkohaus Remix“ bekommt die Nummer noch einen richtig housigen Touch,
was aber durchaus gefällt und schön groovt. Der vierte Track im Bunde ist
„Moonshine_abcs“. Zu Anfang gefällt die perkussive Stimmung, geht dann doch
leider sehr schnell in Langeweile über, da einfach zu wenig ....
passiert.
Da der Rest aber wirklich solide ist, gibt’s hier....
....
Only For DJ’s France – Grosse injection de groove sur ‘Moonshine ABC’s’. Superbe prod,
avec une evolution dancefloor plus que concluante. Pas mal d’elements
hypnotiques retournent la tete su la fin du morceau, a l’image de ce jeu vocal
et de cette petite boucle completement dingue. ‘Kensal Caracas Street’ propose
un style housy un peu trop conventionnel. Ekkohaus livre un bon remix. 3/5
