Lucas Dubiez is a 20-something French-born video director and self-taught, rising electronic musician and producer, best known as FOLLO. Dubiez can trace the origins of his music career to meeting French electronic music producer Jeremey Vieielle, a.k.a. Zerolex, who encouraged Dubiez to write and record what would become his debut EP, 2021’s Lumen.
Dubiez’s sophomore EP, 2022’s the five-song Écume featured material influenced by French 79, Rone, The Blaze, and the films of Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino and Hayao Miyazaki,incuding “Divine,” a cinematic yet dance floor friendly track that nodded at post apocalyptic sci-fi soundtracks.
The French producer’s third EP, Sense, which featured the sleek and meditative “Nôma” was released through Odeva Publishing. Building upon a growing profile, Dubiez will be released a three track effort that included “Crescendo,” a melodic techno track built with around glistening synth arpeggios, skittering beats and a hypnotic motorik groove that recalls Tour de France-era Kraftwerk and 45:33-era LCD Soundsystem.
The final track of the trilogy, “Oxygen” continues a run of melodic house but anchored around euphoric, glistening and cascading synth arpeggios and a relentless motorik groove. While channeling M83, Kraftwerk and the like, “Oxygen,” according to Dubiez “invites us to discover majestic spaces, unexplored landscapes and distant lands. On great flights of arpeggios and numerous cinematographic chords, the traveler escapes. questions his relationship with others, as if to find himself better. What if the most beautiful journey was an inner journey?”
