Club cheval is an electronic music group originating from Lille, Northern France, consisting of Myd, Sam Tiba, Panteros666 and Canblaster.

Biography

Club cheval is a Paris-based collective, or band, consisting of four musicians : Canblaster, Myd, Sam Tiba and Panteros666,[1] blending various genres such as R&B or House music.

According to Dazed, they chose the name "cheval" ("horse" in French) because "it resonated as something powerful and noble [they] wanted to put forth."[2]

They met in Lille[3] as students, and started their career with two EPs released in 2010 on Bromance Records,[4] a label founded by Brodinski, as well as remixes for Rihanna, Underworld, Two Door Cinema Club and The Dø.

Aside from their solo productions, the first single produced by all four Club cheval members, Now u realize, was released in June 2012.[5] It was followed by the Decisions EP featuring Decisions and Vanilla girl, released in November 2012.[6]

Club cheval's debut album is named Discipline[7] and was announced for release in early 2016.

The first extract from the record, From The Basement To The Roof, debuted in March 2015 on BBC Radio One's Annie Mac show. The song is co-produced by French hip-hop producer DJ Kore with vocals from Phlo Finister, an R&B singer from Los Angeles. Club cheval told US magazine The Fader "she gives the track the mellow and sentimental touch they were looking for".[8] It was later remixed by Los Angeles-based duo Oliver, and MikeQ, a fixture from the Ball Culture scene.[9]

In September 2015, Club cheval released Discipline, title-track from the album, with a video directed by J.A.C.K, a French Award-winning duo behind the videos for Christine and The Queens and Madonna's Living for Love.[10] Taking place in a house party, the Discipline video sees the band "soundtracking a massive game of musical chairs".[11]

On February 4, 2016, radio host Zane Lowe premiered a new song,Young, Rich and Radical on his Beats1 show. Club cheval subsequently announced the Discipline album release date for March 4, 2016.

In an interview with FACT, Sam Tiba reveals that most of the vocals on the record are performed by Miami-based artist Rudy, a reference singer for the likes of Chris Brown and The Weeknd.[12]
