ᐔ ᐌ ᐂ ᐍ ᐚ by qebrus available for the first time on vinyl!

qebrus (pronounced Ké-brusse) was a project by Thomas Denis, an enigmatic French musician and producer born in 1981 and based in Caen, France, before his untimely passing in February of 2018. His undefinable otherworldly compositions and internet glitch trickery turned many heads catching the attention and support of esteemed artists such as Aphex Twin, Four Tet and Venetian Snares. The appeal of his music to other forward-pushing producers was emblematic of the uniqueness of his productions and led to collaborations with the likes of Tom Middleton, Otto Von Schirach and Mr Bill. His only release on Love Love Records, 'ᐔ ᐌ ᐂ ᐍ ᐚ', proved to be one his furthest reaching, originally released on CD during a flurry of musical productivity during 2017.  Those 6 tracks of intricate extraterrestrial electronics now get the vinyl treatment, having been lovingly remastered or this reissue.

Despite his vision being entirely self-driven without a care for popularity or recognition, there were many people across the globe that connected with the sheer weirdness of it all. 7 years on 'ᐔ ᐌ ᐂ ᐍ ᐚ' still sounds wholly futuristic and will likely remain so for centuries to come. In a time where it seems everything has already been done before Thomas leaves behind a legacy of an artist who was truly 'doing their own thing'.

Thomas is survived by his two children who will be receiving his proceeds from sales of this release.

Ordered. Thank you for releasing this and sending love to his family. 

I'll find the scans from the email interview he did for my SnareRush zine years back and post it up here tomorrow. 

He was next level

That'd be really great if you could man.
It would be lovely to read again

Is this going to any retailers or just through Bancamp? It's another case of the shipping to the US costing almost as much as the record.

thanks for the heads up, snagged a copy, lovely to see that the proceedings go into supporting his family

Didn't really listen, but some tracks are my ringtones.

Here you go, sorry it took a few days! Was a fairly brief email exchange but one we were pleased to document.

*edit* updated with slightly better resolution but still not great

Also, #psa I am slowly working on a new zine that I hope to be out early 2025

Bit scared to buy the download of this in case the filenames and id3 tags catch fire to my drive's file allocation table.
