Eric Labbé has been producing music under the name Poison Gauchiste since 2020. Before that, he was better known as a DJ, event organizer, and nightlife activist who played a key role in revitalizing the Parisian scene over the past fifteen years. But that doesn’t make him a newcomer to music. His new alias (a tongue-in-cheek jab at the general shift to the right) is simply the continuation of a winding musical journey that includes jazz (he was once a drummer) and electroclash (with the duo Headphone Karaoké in the 2000s).

What might be somewhat unique about his music is that he’s never tried to filter out his wide-ranging influences — from bebop to krautrock, afrobeat, Italo disco, and American minimalism — all of which resurface subliminally in his tracks structured by a classic yet joyful Detroit-Berlin electronic grammar.
