Since his ground-breaking debut on the electro scene, Fred Falke has developed a unique sound. A prolific artist, he writes and produces music, not to mention numerous remixes. Having started his musical career playing bass, he turned to production in 2000. Back from Hong Kong, he set up a duo with Alan Braxe: their track Intro (out on Vulture) achieved tremendous success and sold up to half a million copies. Many remixes followed: from Jamiroquai and Justice to Royskopp or Death From Above 1979, Fred Falke works with the biggest electro-pop artists and bands.

His solo career started in Paris around 2000: that’s when he met Daft Punk, at work on Discovery. Fred Falke released his first EP titled Omega Man and toured all across Australia. His refined style, à la Française, oscillates between irresistible pop melodies and a strong bass. It proved highly efficient when Part IV, Falke’s first album, came out in 2011. The artist became a prominent figure of the French Touch around the world. He has played the iTunes Festival in London, Avalon in Los Angeles, Field Day in Sydney, Melt in Germany, and even the Djakarta Warhouse Project.

Falke’s remixing talent led him to collaborate with world-famous rockstars such as U2 and Robbie Williams, indie bands like Hot Chip, Grizzly Bear, Metronomy, La Roux, and Uffie. Pop artists like Kesha, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Lana Del Rey or even electro monsters such as Tiesto, Nero and Eric Prydz also owe him some of their catchiest tunes. Fred Falke navigates from one genre to another with one goal only: to create genuine, modern, yet timeless, electro-pop songs.

This passion for well-produced music is really what sets Falke apart. His signature lies in the meticulous care he has for every track he works on. Although relentlessly intransigent, Falke hops from one style to another: his remix of Dancing On My Own by Robyn explores a club-rock touch, whereas his memorable remix of Golden Cage by Whitest Boy Alive glows with nu-disco accents and a French Touch feel… But Falke also enjoys playing some good nineties hip hop tracks suring his DJ sets. A highly-cultivated musician and artist, he has an undeniable ear for melody, which led him to work for Xenomania, the Motown of British pop music. He also collaborated to the production of The Gossip’s singe Move In The Right Direction, produced Ellie Goulding’s tracks Home and Believe Me, and composed Amelia Lily’s Bring Me Joy- number two in the 2012 English charts.

Today, Fred Falke splits his time between Los Angeles and France. California, a place he dreamt of as a kid, has inspired him to create new music which will sound just like him: versatile, edgy and modern, cosmopolitan yet so Frenchy, in one word: generous.


MIGHT MOUSE
This prolific Mouse has notched up an impressive spread of achievements in such a short time, firmly establishing himself on the electronic music scene with his unique disco inspired productions and his energetic DJ shows.

The first remix, City Reverb's Time Side On became an immediate hit with Aeroplane who featured it on their mix for Pete Tong and his BBC Radio 1 show. Remixes followed for Ali Love, Bent and an astonishing assault on Circles by Detachments. By this time the Mighty Mouse sound was labelled 'nu-disco', drawing influences from house, techno, disco and 80's music whilst also exploring a love of the psychedelic. Mighty Mouse quickly became an online star thanks to the monthly mixtapes and his infamous re edits.

Too Many Sebastians, and Stoney Roads were the first to pick up on the Mouse sound, however, blog love has been consistent with Mighty Mouse regularly climbing into the Hype Machine Top 10, most recently in December 2011 scoring a number 1 on the Hype Machine with a re work of Gill Scott Heron's 'I'll Take Care of You'. Gorillaz, Fenech-Soler, Shades Of Rhythm, Shy Child and Robbie Williams' Last Days Of Disco' all benefitted from some of the Mouse production magic. These remixes and the rework of Rob Da Bank & Tom Middleton's Paganini Rocks single featuring Au Revoir Simone built the Mighty Mouse reputation with DJs, resulting in high entries on the Buzz, Zzub and Coolcut charts along with radio support on the key specialist BBC Radio 1 shows: Jaymo & Andy George, Rob Da Bank, Annie Mac, Kissy Sell Out.

The press picked up on Mighty Mouse thanks to the Disco Circus compilation series. They combine disco old and new, house, techno and 80's rarities. Mixmag Magazine lauded them putting the first two volumes in their top 10 compilations the year. Features and rave reviews followed in The Times, Guardian, London Metro and all the major dance press. Disco Circus 3 is scheduled for release in March 2012.

Mighty Mouse has released a string of singles, including club hit's Junglefish, The Beast, Song For Ellen and Between The Pavement and the Stars. A concept album titled 'Song With No Word' made up of 10 movements picked up further great press and admirers in Andrew Weatherall and Lemon Jelly, the latter citing Movement 3 as one of the best tracks they'd heard that year. The UK's leading national retailer HMV asked Mighty Mouse to curate a night at The Jazz Cafe for their 'Next Big Thing' festival where they joined forces with Rob Da Bank's Sunday Best Records.

Touring has been hectic, 2011 starting with a trek around Australia as part of Future Music Festival, with stints DJing at festivals around the UK including Big Chill, Rockness, Electric Picnic and Lovebox. Added to that, Mighty Mouse made his first trip to Ibiza playing for Annie Mac Presents… at Amnesia and then onto Sankeys along with dates across Europe and the UK.

With Disco Circus 3 released in March 2012, a new label in Herve's Cheap Thrills to release a string of new singles across the summer and new album to drop later this year, the Mouse is showing no signs of slowing down in the studio. Out of the studio a European tour kicks off in March with an Australian and US tour in April following by a summer of summer of festivals.

A busy little Mouse.
