Basile Lacroix-Boettcher New Track Released – Organic Time
Basile Lacroix-Boettcher is a French composer. Born in Besançon in 1999. Originally a drummer, he quickly turned to M.A.O. With his universe of chimerical and complex sounds, he experiments with organic mixtures, fusing Moog synthesizers with acoustic instruments, such as the violin, cello, double bass.
Basile was at the origin of several projects, notably as the producer of the former group Wormhole with the release of the album “Cosmoi” in 2019. He is also part of the experimental duo Trash Cells. He released an EP, titled “Contaminated” in 2020.
His interest in soundtrack manifested itself in 2021, when he composed the Soundtrack for the play “La Valse des mouches”. “Heterogeneous Ex Nihilo DNA” is his first solo project in which he gives us his multiple influences.
Known locally as a member of trip-hop project Wormhole which won the UK springboard. Belfort, the Iceberg springboard in Geneva but also the experimental alternative rap project Trash Cells who opened for Lorenzo just before the start of the pandemic, the composer/ Besançon producer Basile Lacroix-Boettcher announces the release of his cyber exhibition on 4 next February.
Animated by exhibiting Basil‘s canvases and set to music by him with “Organic Time” track featured in Basile‘s album cyber exposure is a good way to discover a little more the universe of the musician from Besançon but also to promote a second time his first album Heterogeneous Ex Nihilo DNA released last September.
Basile subtly integrates older sounds – ‘organic‘ – into his modern and experimental production. Basile thus offers a rich album opening with a title à la Aphex Twin (Organic Time) followed by three sounds similar to a chase in the jungle (Anti-Jungle, Phenomenon Army, Madness of Entropy), two jazz tracks (Human Reality, Blind Genius), an epic penultimate track (New Cycle) and finally, an epilogue title in collaboration with the harp teacher from the conservatory of Besançon Christine Bulle.
Multi-talented, Basile is also behind the cover of Heterogeneous Ex Nihilo DNA. Painter in these lost hours, the works of Basile will very soon be the subject of a cyber exhibition.
Basile Lacroix-Boettcher works best on Experimental jazz, Film music, Jazz fusion, Modern jazz, Neoclassical Drama, Intense, Melodic, Dreamy, Original, Psych, Surprising, and Strong universe.

“Pretty Ugly” by Archer Stevens stirs the soul with retro-modern rock vibes
“Pretty Ugly,” the inaugural single by Archer Stevens, represents a compelling homage to the golden age of 70s rock music with a fresh coat of modern vibrancy. From the outset, the track masterfully exudes an irresistible energy that embodies vintage and contemporary influences, acting as a sonic bridge between eras. The Phoenix-based ensemble skillfully weaves their influences into a pronounced, personal narrative.
A noteworthy aspect of the track is its instrumentation. Recorded across three diverse locations, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and even Peru, the song has a global resonance. The incorporation of congas introduces a surprising layer of depth and rhythm, giving “Pretty Ugly” a distinct flair that separates it from cookie-cutter rock releases. This thoughtful musical choice enhances the song’s groove, complementing the shimmering guitar lines and soulful vocal delivery.
Lyrically, “Pretty Ugly” plays on contrasts, embodying the emotional push and pull of life’s dualities. The heartfelt lyrics evoke a sense of intimate admiration and longing to please a partner, while the melodic structure ensures the track remains uplifting despite its introspective qualities.
By drawing inspiration from the enduring spirit of rock legends such as Elton John, Joe Cocker, and the Rolling Stones, Archer Stevens pays tribute to their predecessors without resorting to imitation. The soaring vocals and driving rhythm establish “Pretty Ugly” as a cathartic anthem that appeals to classic and contemporary rock enthusiasts. With this debut, Archer Stevens distinguishes itself as a band unafraid to experiment and honor its musical heritage, thus carving out its unique sonic identity. The result is a richly layered auditory experience that captivates from the first listen, revealing engaging narratives within the music.
