Bloodbeat #138 feat. AUTOMELODI + TOUCH BY TOUCH

➤ 𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐃𝐈

Formed in 2006, Automelodi is a constantly evolving project based around the solo work of songwriter/producer Xavier Paradis. With a career that spans over two decades, Paradis is a well-established figure in Montreal’s dense electronic music culture, releasing over time with various projects, performance line-ups, or under different monikers such as Arnaud Lazlaud. He also collaborates with artists like Liz Wendelbo (of Xeno & Oaklander) as the duo Liz and László, as well as Latvian Producer Dmitry Distant.

Automelodi’s music embraces and re-contextualizes a spectrum of influences that include the lesser-known European synthpop and post-punk of the latter Twentieth Century, combined with literary stylizations reminiscent of Gallic songwriters such as Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Fontaine—with nearly all vocals delivered in French.

Touch By Touch are led by their love for all things 80s, they combine influences from Synth Pop and Italo Disco, to Coldwave, Darkwave, EBM and Post Punk. Only classic 80s and 90s equipment is used during the production-process of the songs, no computers and of course no AI. The lyrics are multi-lingual (English, German, Hungarian), the instrumentation is predominantly synthesizers, with some songs adding electric guitar and bass.

⚡️The debut-album »Power Dynamics« will be released in late 2025 via Kernkrach Records⚡️
