BREAKBOT TO PERFORM AT SXSW & WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE DURING NATIONWIDE TOUR
ACCLAIMED FRENCH PRODUCER AND DJ SEES PHYSICAL RELEASE OF BY YOUR SIDE IN THE U.S. APRIL 9

Celebrated French DJ and multi-instrumentalist Breakbot will perform at several special events during SXSW 2013, including parties for Vice, MTV and Pandora. Afterwards, he will embark on his 10-city North American tour that will include performances at Winter Music Conference as well as New York and Los Angeles where he will be joined by frequent collaborator and vocalist Irfane.

The tour coincides with the long-awaited U.S. physical release of Breakbot’s acclaimed album By Your Side, out April 9 via Ed Banger/Because/Sire after years of delighting dance floors around the world with his infectious hit song “Baby I’m Yours” and killer remixes for Justice and Metronomy.

By Your Side has garnered considerable acclaim since its release in Breakbot’s native France earlier this fall (via Because/Ed Banger Records). Brooklyn Vegan praises “a sound honed in on that short late ’70s period where soft rock and disco met,” while URB declares “Breakbot is paving the way for a new definition of electro-pop, using smooth tunes, retro vocals, catchy beats, and mixing them together to create a truly original sound.” Similarly, ELLE France proclaims it “a veritable invitation to happiness for the ears.”

The album features several guest vocalists including Irfane, Ruckazoid, and Bjorn Synneby from Pacific!, but otherwise, multi-instrumentalist Berland plays and records everything on his own. “I do everything myself except the vocals,” explains Berland. “Breakbot is a dude in a basement looking for melodies.”
