Molécule

French Producer & Electronic Artist

French-American synthpop artist Yan Wagner aka The Populists has for the last few years been performing across Europe, supporting prolific artists such as AIR (sharing fifteen dates on their last LOVE 2 tour), Goldfrapp, Midnight Juggernauts, Hercules & Love Affair among many others, bringing his new wave, beat driven pop antics to MAMA festival in Paris, as wells as the Chorus des Hauts de Seine and Festival Nouvelles Scènes (Niort). Also recording under the name

The Populists, Wagner’s electronic work is inspired by influential acts such as Depeche Mode, Prince and Tangerine Dream, although Yan Wagner’s solo work could probably be best described as a merging of sounds from the famed ‘70s post-punk band Joy Division to more modern textures utilized by acts such as The Soft Moon or Cold Cave.

With a combined play count of nearly 1 million plays between YouTube and Soundcloud, his first album titled Forty Eight Hours’, Wagner features a collaboration with French pop superstar Etienne Daho, whose extensive career dates back in the ‘80s.

The album was produced by Arnaud Rebotini (founding member of Black Strobe) and was released in 2012 via Pschent Music and distributed by Alliance Entertainment in US. Yan Wagner’s latest albumThis Never Happened’ was released in 2017 via leading imprints such as [PIAS] and Her Majesty’s Ship respectively.

Molécule’s music

Influenced by nature, isolation and human existence, Molécule’s music could be best comparable to electronic and experimental techno artists such as the swelling atmospheres of Kevin Gorman, the sawtooth pulsing of German producer Helena Hauff and the investigative experiments conducted by Silent Harbour, thrown into a cohesive blender to form Delahaye’s deeply constructed signature tone.

 

Yan Wagner’s The Populists remix of Molécule’s ‘ÂRIÂ’ is a percussive journey through the unknown; filled to the brim and overflowing with texture, bouncing synth basslines swim amidst howling scapes and swirling arpeggios. A deep, steady beat invites us into the abyss, and striking orchestral samples frighten through jolted, unpredictable strikes. A dangerously hostile slap-bass section rolls out and panic slowly disintegrates to an abrupt, steep pause.

 

Commenting on the remix, Yan Wagner states: "I was stunned by this track of Molécule, by the sounds of ice, the polar coldness of the sounds but also the roundness of the kick reminding the Earth, the vital nature of the poles … For this Remix I wanted to emphasize the danger these regions are into. I had in mind a devilish ride in a sled on a cracked ice floe about to sink forever in the oceans. "
