Gilles Bernies Tag

The Tree of Life symbol represents our personal development, uniqueness and individual beauty. Just as the branches of a tree strengthen and grow upwards to the sky, we too grow stronger, striving for greater knowledge, wisdom and new experiences as we move through life.

Gilles commitment to presenting the world with powerful and emotive music extends beyond his own productions. In the past year his ’Taste Of Electro’ Spotify playlist has amassed 10K followers. Another testament of an artist striving for greater knowledge, wisdom and new experiences.

Gilles Bernies’ debut release ‘Abstract’ captured the attention of some notable DJ’s and tastemakers around the world. Argentina’s premier online radio station Futur Rock dropped ‘Abstract’ on their “Argentina Electronica’ Program while the release featured in the Beatport Hype Melodic House & techno Hype Charts.

His next release is a two tracker which defines another chapter in his musical journey. ‘Signals’ is a powerful melodic track that washes you away into a dream like state. A wonderfully warm and balanced composition with more space in between sounds, the track recedes into a magical breakdown from which the melody emerges. ‘Breakwater’ is almost tribal in nature, both epic and bold. Gilles atmospheric vocals cry out in the background conjouring an almost mystical presence from within. 

We are very happy to welcome our first European artist to the label. German/French musician and DJ Gilles Bernies is a young rising talent who’s passion and dedication to his craft is exemplary. A classically trained pianist and bass guitarist Gilles has focused exclusively on electronic music production and performance for the past 2 years. 

His music is melodic and features his unique atmospheric vocals. Naturally ‘Abstract’ is in every sense of the meaning only part of the composition. however we can begin to understand and determine something of the artists musical form and intent. Despite being orienteered towards grand, open air surroundings it is the contrast in the instrumentation and dynamics – from the dominating staccato leads, driving bass and vocal cries to the subtler counter melodies and ambience, that reflect a confident artistic vision. As the drums subside into a breakdown, the moment reveals an honest nature, one that holds out both hands in welcome. 

Of noteworthy mention, the artwork used for Abstract is a painting by German designer Ilka Rehberger. We look forward to seeing more of her work accompany future Bernies releases!
