Handbraekes is a high-octane collaboration between two titans of the electronic music scene, Boys Noize (Alexander Ridha) and Mr. Oizo (Quentin Dupieux). This joint endeavor sees the coming together of German techno craftsmanship and French electro house eccentricity to produce a sound that is as ground-breaking as it is unpredictable. The project kicked off around 2012, blending the raw energy of both artists' individual styles into a series of EPs that shook dance floors and garnered acclaim from electronic music enthusiasts.
Their discography, though compact, is a cannonade of club bangers which includes the eponymously named EPs "#1" released in 2012, followed by "#2" in 2014, and the most recent "#3" which arrived in 2018. Each release showcases Handbraekes' signature sound: distorted bass, whimsical samples, and punchy beats that refuse to be pigeonholed. With production that is both chaotic yet controlled, the duo have managed to carve out a unique niche that captivates the raucous energy of rave culture while still pushing the boundaries of what electronic music can be. Despite the rarity of their releases, each installment from Handbraekes is a celebration of frenetic electro and a testament to the creativity that results from such a dynamic pairing.
