One of the acts taking to the stage at the Parc Expo at the Trans Musicales de Rennes festival tonight is The Avener, a DJ and producer and one of the many dance-related acts performing over the event.
His first release was Fade Out Lines, a re-working of the track The Fade Out Line by Phoebe Killdeer and The Short Straws.
The Avener's work on the track reminds me of the remix of Prayer in C by Lilly Wood and the Prick that was an international hit after it was remixed by Robin Schulz.
Not that it actually sounds like that track, just that it takes a source song that you'd normally not associate with dance music, and re-interprets it in such a way that it works for a dancefloor but also retains the spirit of the original.
The Avener presents a house music infused with soul and informed by electro, and come up with something quite classy.
His debut album, to be titled The Wanderings Of The Avener, is expected to be released next year.
