Hailing from Toulouse, Gauvain Fargeot aka Dilemn has come a long
way in becoming the prominent figure in the French underground
electronic scene he is today. Having been brought up surrounded
by classical music and its influences, Dilemn engaged himself
with a wide range of music from the aggression of Hip-Hop and
Drum & Bass to the synthesised qualities of Techno before
finding his comfort zone in Electro at the age of 22. Exposing
and condensing all of these influences in creating his signature
sound, Dilemn’s music combines crunchy beats and slick warm
electro lines into pumping melodies that take inspiration from
and evolve the French House sound popularised by acts such as
Daft Punk and Justice.

Dilemn’s career as a producer began with the release of the
‘Phyzicall / Check My Beat’ 12” in 2007, which was followed up
immediately by two more supreme releases, ‘Daylight’ / ‘Time To
Sing’ and The Baguette EP with Les Petits Pilous later that year.
All three releases were prime examples of Dilemn’s technically
assured and confident sound, showing off the serious talent that
this young, promising producer had to offer the scene.

2010 was a huge year for Dilemn as the producer unleashed his
first full-length album, Better Worlds on Bordeaux-based imprint
Boxon. Thirteen tracks-full featuring a plethora of France’s
foremost underground talent including Youthstar, Blake &
Wonderkat, Miss Trouble and Kloe, Better Worlds was given
outstanding reviews that drew obvious comparisons to the works of
the aforementioned Daft Punk. In the following months, not one to
rest on his laurels, Dilemn released another EP on Burn The Fire
with the stomping ‘Audio Control’ / ‘Got U’ which paired the
producer with The Clamps (aka Imprintz). He continued to flex his
production muscle having been approached to remix Porter
Robinson’s and Lazy Rich’s Hello for Big Fish as the standout
track on Part 2 of the remix EP, whilst Boxon continued to
promote DIlemn’s emphatic debut LP with a 7-track remix package
that garnered radio support from luminaries such as Annie
Nightingale, Kissy Sell Out and Far Too Loud.

2012 is set to cement Dilemn’s glowing domestic reputation on our
shores as the artist moves forward in experimenting with
unfamiliar tempo territories. After causing damage in the
underground Electro scene for over a decade this young producer
is about to take the international stage, presenting his debut
release on AudioPorn with a monster 5-track multi-genre EP that
pushes tempo boundaries: the Talk About Us EP. Featuring the
embellished hybrid arrangements of ‘Watts Of Funkin’, ‘Two
Points’, ‘Kill The Nation’ and ‘Afraid Of Change’, plus the vocal
talents of songstress de jour Ayah Marar on the titular ‘Talk
About Us’, the EP sees the producer retain the slick production
qualities and accomplished melodic arrangements he has built his
career on whilst offering something resoundingly different to the
previous Dilemn back-catalogue. A colourful and painstakingly
detailed layer of sounds that waver on the brink of perplexed
amalgamation without losing sense of that all important funk, the
EP offers a simultaneous danger and optimism that flirts with
classic French House vibes. A producer with a commitment to sound
excellence and an astonishing comfort in variety and tempo
progression, Dilemn is sure to stake his claim as one of the most
promising electronic artists worldwide.
