Pierre III is Pierre Leroux’s new avatar. He was the founding member of Housse de Racket with Victor Le Masne.
In 2020, he releases the « Cluster » critically acclaimed lockdown mixtapes. 2 x 20 minutes of instrumental, psychedelic, cinematographic music. A parenthesis and radical music, ostensibly walking away from the pop song format.
It’s followed by the 2021 summer « Menthol » EP. With its silky production, the EP is a charming, radio friendly, four-songs collection and a deep fresh breath of innocence for a highly anticipated summer.
In 2021, Pierre also composed the soundtrack for the french OCS TV show « Jeune & Golri » for which he received the award for the best music at 2021 Série Mania Festival.
The soundtrack is wonky, romantic and filled with references and playful synths. It sounds like an homage to 70’s movie soundtrack from Vladimir Cosma or François de Roubaix?
Pierre III is Pierre Leroux’s new avatar. He was the founding member of Housse de Racket with Victor Le Masne. Within Housse de Racket, Pierre got the opportunity to work with Philippe Zdar (Cassius), Renaud Létang, Gonzales, Christophe, The Rapture, Two Door Cinema Club…
After releasing three albums and touring the world with this duet, from Coachella to Japan, the producer/musician/singer has started a new outlet to express himself freely.
Recently having played guitar for Myd or Christine and the Queens, remixed Metronomy or LA Priest, produced Judah Warsky, been remixed by Bon Voyage Organisation, Pierre III has kept busy with multiple collaborations. In the past, we've also seen Pierre on stage playing for Phoenix, in the studio with Jean-Benoit Dunckel (Air), Brigitte Fontaine & Jean-Claude Vannier to name a few.
After Touché followed by Mouvement, two tracks selected by La Souterraine for their compilations, Pierre III now presents his first critically acclaimed mixtapes: Cluster I & II.
One long journey, like an invitation to dream away, a field of experimentation ostensibly walking away from the pop song format.
2 x 20 minutes of uninterrupted music, entirely written, recorded and mixed by Pierre during lockdown.
