Biography

Club Cheval is a Paris-based collective, or band, consisting of four musicians : Canblaster, Myd, Sam Tiba and Panteros666,[1] blending various genres such as R&B or house music.

According to Dazed, they chose the name "cheval" ("horse" in French) because "it resonated as something powerful and noble [they] wanted to put forth."[2]

They met in Lille[3] as students, and started their career with two EPs released in 2010 on Bromance Records,[4] a label founded by Brodinski, as well as remixes for Vitalic, Nero, Boys Noize and The Dø.

Aside from their solo productions, the first single produced by all four Club Cheval members, "Now U Realize", was released in June 2012.[5] It was followed by the Decisions EP featuring "Decisions" and "Vanilla Girl", released in November 2012.[6]

In 2014, the band composed the songs "Can't Stop" (featuring Kanye West) and "Tribe" (featuring Jesse Boykins III), on Theophilus London's second album Vibes.

Club Cheval's debut album was Discipline[7] which was released in early 2016.

The first extract from the record, "From the Basement to the Roof", debuted in March 2015 on BBC Radio One's Annie Mac show. The song is co-produced by French hip-hop producer DJ Kore with vocals from Phlo Finister, an R&B singer from Los Angeles. Club Cheval told US magazine The Fader "she gives the track the mellow and sentimental touch they were looking for".[8] It was later remixed by Los Angeles-based duo Oliver, and MikeQ, a fixture from the Ball Culture scene.[9]

In September 2015, Club Cheval released "Discipline", title-track from the album, with a video directed by J.A.C.K, a French Award-winning duo behind the videos for Christine and The Queens and Madonna's "Living for Love".[10] Taking place in a house party, the "Discipline" video sees the band "soundtracking a massive game of musical chairs".[11]

On February 4, 2016, radio host Zane Lowe premiered a new song, "Young, Rich and Radical" on his Beats1 show. Club Cheval subsequently announced the Discipline album release date for March 4, 2016. In an interview with FACT, Sam Tiba reveals that most of the vocals on the record are performed by the Miami-based artist Rudy, a reference singer for Chris Brown and The Weeknd.[12]
