Kasztan

Over the last couple of years, Pierre-Marie found himself back in France from LA and exploring a more techno-oriented production profile in Kasztan, where he champions distinct cinematic qualities whilst staying true to his post-rock roots. Under this progressive new moniker, Kasztan delivered his debut EP “Rare Earth Elements” to high acclaim back in September 2021, directly followed by his 2022-released “Celeste” and “Unbleach” EPs. Establishing this new musical direction within the industry and expanding his sonic horizons, the French native launched his own label Stemina Recordings shortly after, fostering collaborations with like-minded artists and providing them with a distinctly progressive platform through which to share their musical endeavours.

While Kasztan's background as a self-taught post-rock guitar player and his time as a stage musician for the band M83 influenced his approach to electronic music production, he has carved out a distinctive sound that defies categorization. Rather than adhering to the stereotypical French electronic music style, Kasztan's music draws closer to acts like Overmono, Rival Consoles, Moderat, and the UK garage scene, whilst remaining wholly authentic.
