Harold Boué aka Abstraxion and Lion's Drums, is a French producer based in Marseille.
He started to produce music as Abstraxion in 2005, and has so far released a fair amount of EP's as well as two studio albums ("Break of Lights" on Nicolas Jaar's label Other People - 2013 & "She Thought She Would Last Forever" on Biologic Records - 2016). His latest EP "Black Vulture" was released May 2019 on Jennifer Cardini's label Dischi Autunno.
In 2018 Harold felt the desire to explore different musical territories and launched Lion's Drums, which he's developing in parallel with his Abstraxion project. Lion's Drums music is inspired from and pays tribute to the character of his city Marseille: a bit rough though luminous, and influenced by elements of the Mediterranean, African and Northern European cultures. This translates into heavily percussive sounds, in which tribal disco grooves invoke the spirits of voodoo-techno. He released a first EP on John Talabot's label Hivern Discs, and made a psychedelic acid remix of "Goca Dunya" by Turkish band Altin Gün.
2021 will see the release of Lion's Drums debut album "Kagabas", an audio project and album comprising of new compositions based on field recordings of original songs the Kagabas people sing to wild animals, and the nature they habitat. A second album will follow on Cocktail d'Amore this year.
