Biographie de BreakBot

Breakbot, real name Thibaut Berland, was born on 5 October, 1981. He is a music producer and DJ of French origin.

As of May 2009, Breakbot has been signed to Ed Banger Records, for whom he has produced a whole array of musical masterpieces. His studio album ‘By Your Side’ was released in September 2012 and made it all the way to number 19 on the charts in France. Additionally, he has produced six EPs as of 2014, from his debut ‘Happy Rabbit’ to his 2014 hit ‘You Should Know’ featuring Ruckazoid. Some of his most popular singles from his album include ‘Baby I’m Yours’, ‘Fantasy’ and ‘One Out of Two’.

Breakbot is most famous in mainstream music for his remixes, particularly his remix of ‘Baby I’m Yours’ featuring Irfane which was a summer smash hit in his native country of France. The music video that accompanied this single was nominated for "Best budget pop/dance/urban video" and "Best animation in a video" for the Music Video Awards on October 12, 2010 that took place in the UK.

His music style is a blend of French house, electro house, disco house, nu-disco, electro-funk, boogie and synthpop: an interesting and eclectic mix indeed!

Breakbot’s remix of Pnau's song "Baby" was used as part of the soundtrack in Gran Turismo 5, a racing video game, along with his song"Penelope Pitstop".

Avis

Unlike neighbouring Germany and The Netherlands, you find France to be a lot more reserved and subtle about its dance music exports. Following in the footsteps of legendary acts such as Justice and Daft Punk, Thibaut Berland better known by his stage name BreakBot has been winning over crowds in his homeland and is spanning out to the rest of Europe.

He is an older musician yet this gives him an upper hand to the teen whipper snappers breaking through as his own life experience and experience on the circuit feed into the performance style. He appears on the decks and begins his show instantly whilst the crowds are still cheering and applauding, his long hair is bobbing around in the motion of the music as he never stands still for a moment throughout the show. There are the crowd pleasers including 'Baby I'm Yours' and 'Break of Dawn' from his own discography and his ingenious remixes of Röyksopp, Kavinsky and Digitalism to keep the whole room bouncing along to the very final high pitched piece of synth.
