Hugo Kant, a multifaceted French producer and musician, is known for his captivating blend of trip-hop, jazz, and electronic music. Hugo, whose real name is Quentin Le Roux, has garnered international acclaim for infusing his compositions with a rich tapestry of samples, live instrumentation, and intricate soundscapes, effectively carving out a distinctive space for his auditory visions within the downtempo scene.

Since emerging with his debut effort "I Don't Want to Be an Emperor" in 2011, a nod to Charlie Chaplin's famous speech in "The Great Dictator", Hugo has steadily built a discography that showcases his ability to evoke mood and emotion through music. His subsequent releases, notably "The Point of No Return," "Out of Time," and "The Seven Seas," exhibit a thematic depth and narrative quality, taking listeners on an aural journey through his delicately crafted sonic worlds. "Searching London" and "Now That's All Changed" evoke the experience of urban explorations and personal transformations, while "Far from Home" and "Leave Me Alone" reflect themes of introspection and the desire for solitude. With a penchant for melding the old with the new, Hugo Kant continues to push the boundaries of genre, creating evocative and timeless music that resonates with listeners around the globe.
