Pavel

Biography

Pavel released "Leukemia", his debut track, in 2016 on Czech label Neo Violence, followed a year later by another track called "Sorry For Chaos". He also released two EPs ("Tremens Riddim EP" and "Palisma EP") in 2017, on Eclect Rec., a label he co-directed. Etienne Bel (real name) has also worked for a host of other projects (including Estelle Zamme). In 2018, Pavel turned his attention to creating his debut album, called Busy Being Broken. The album, released on October 3, 2019, received strong support from the art world and also a warm reception from the press. In particular, it was voted "best Swiss electronic music album of 2019" by national radio station SRF3 (program "CH Beats"). During the same period, he set up his own label, Blizzard Audio Club, which hosted this album.

He followed this up with a remix album in 2020 (including a collaboration with Organ Mug) and produced several tracks and reworks from 2021 to 2023 on labels such as Creaked Records, Sbire and of course Blizzard Audio Club.

In 2024, Pavel returns with "Environment", which will be the artist's second album and also the second stone in the building of a four-album oeuvre, ending in 2028. This concept album on the theme of the natural environment took him over two years of work, between conceptualization, sample recording, creation and production. Release date: May 3, 2024!
