Les Enfants Brillants pres. Half Baked Showcase w/ Robin Ordell + Sam Bangura

Les Enfants Brillants pres Half Baked Showcase w/ Robin Ordell + Sam Bangura Ordell output takes influence from three key European cities: Nice, London, and the German capital. His penchant for jazz imbues his music with deep soulful grooves, characterized by improvisation, syncopation, and an insistent rhythm. Deep, bassy tones, together with infectious breaks and warm loops flow through his sets and productions, while touches of minimal experimentation and a strong house motif make up his sound. Growing up around funk music during his formative years in Nice, France, Robin left home early relocating to East London in 2007, where he was drawn to the burgeoning underground club scene. Influenced by the French style of the nineties, while also drawing on inspiration from deeper German minimal sounds, Robin was entrenched in the fertile East London scene during this exciting era of London’s history. 2009 was a notable year in Ordell’s progression as a DJ. It was during this time that infamous London party Half Baked was conceived and he became one of their full-time residents. It was at this party where he really established himself as a versatile selector who can blend a range of styles into his sets with confidence and panache. As a keen studio hound, Ordell is always jamming and making music, some of which has been released via labels such as Seuil’s Eklo, Discobar, Finest Hour, Hello?Repeat and Half Baked’s own record label. In 2014 he became part of the Lola ED agency, joining an array of underground luminaries and marking an important step forward in his decade-long career. In 2017 he continues to travel around Europe, with a steady flow of releases and a constant desire to channel the soul of jazz, house, and funk music through his Ordell-shaped filter.
