Av1

The fourth release on ALT, the sub label of Cartulis Music, sees the return of AV1, the freshly
formed French duo composed of Chris Carrier and Le Loup. Following the success of Waves +
Plants Pt. 1 (ALT004.1), the pair now delivers the highly anticipated second chapter, pushing the
boundaries of their sonic exploration.
AV1 is the result of a deep-rooted connection between two of the most respected names in the
Parisian underground scene. Chris Carrier, a prolific producer and DJ since the late ‘90s, has
carved out a legacy with his unmistakable approach to house and techno. Le Loup, equally
revered for his refined touch and forward-thinking productions, brings his own signature style to
the table. Together, they craft an electrifying synergy built on a shared love for acid, deep grooves,
and classicist house/techno foundations.

Waves + Plants Pt. 2 (ALT004.2) expands on the energy of the first release, offering a five-
track journey through a diverse soundscape. Blurring the lines between trance, techno, breaks,

and experimental sounds, the EP showcases AV1’s ability to merge different sonic textures into a
cohesive, cutting-edge release. From hypnotic acid sequences to raw drum programming and
ethereal atmospheres, each track presents a unique side of their creative vision.
This latest installment solidifies AV1’s place as a standout project in contemporary electronic
music and reaffirms ALT’s commitment to releasing forward-thinking, genre-defying sounds.
