Biografía
- Latest LP "Arkpocalypse Now" (Perlon, 2009) Latest EP "Arkuarium" (Thema, 2010) Latest release "Idiosynkrasark remix" (Infiné, 2011)Seen as the pioneer of the new experimental/minimal house style in France over ten years ago with releases on Brif, ARK has gone on to collaborate with and inspire a multitude of today’s established and rising stars across Europe... and the world ! From his origins as guitarist in a number of 80's funk bands, most notably Trankilou, where he hooked up with the legend that is Pepe Bradock and onto the great Matthew Herbert & LoSoul with their first collaboration, 'Belle Lurette' in '99. The 'Alleluyark' EP series from 2003 reaffirmed as his status as chief protagonist of experimental, groove led house and techno. His 2005 Long Player on Perlon, 'Caliente' won him critical acclaim, which is furthered by his more recent works together with Shalom (as Shalark), Krikor (as Krikark), Cabanne (as Copacabannark), Mikael Weill (as Les Cerveaux Lents) and Dolibox. His cannon of remixes is as long as the channel tunnel, reworking the likes of Stephen Beaupre, Mr. Oizo, Archive, Mossa, Salif Keita, Slabb, Krikor, Fym, Cabanne, Robag Wruhme... His new album "Arkpocalypse Now" (Perlon) came out on May 2010, and his latest solo EP "Arkuarium" (Thema021) on October.̸Complete discography on Discogs # solo De Derrière Les Fagots (12", Brif Records, 1998) Siderurgie Esthetik (12", Brif Records, 1998) Belle Lurette (2xLP, Brif Records, 1999) Keuhar (CD, Album, Brif Records / PIAS France, 1999) Punkadelik (12", Brif Records, 1999) Mr Full Destructor, Untitled (12", Karat Records, 1999) Absolut Abstract (12", Brif Records, 2000) Unknow Mysterioso (12", Karat Records, 2000) Le Magicien D’os (12", Brif Records, 2001) Shaolin (12", Brif Records, 2001) Wagon / 1968 (12", Battle , 2002) Alleluyark (CD, Circus Company, 2003) Alleluyark Vol_1 (12", EP, Circus Company, 2003) Alleluyark Vol_2 (12", EP, Circus Company, 2003) Alleluyark Vol_3 (12", EP, Circus Company, 2003) Alleluyark Vol_4 (12", EP, Circus Company, 2005) Caliente (CD, Album, 2x12", PIAS France + Perlon, 2005) Arkpocalypse now (2x12" LP vinyl + CD, PERL79, 2010) Arkuarium (12", EP, Thema, 2010) # as duo TRANKILOU (w/ Pepe Bradock) St Glin-Glin EP (12", EP, BPM Records France, 1996) Escalope De Dingue EP (12", EP, Kif Recordings, 1997) # as duo SHALARK (w/ Dj Shalom) Shalark (12", Brif Records, 1999) Don’t (12", Karat Records, 2001) Some Of Them Don’t (LP, 2xCD, Karat Records, 2001) # as duo DEPERISSEMENT PROGRESSIF (w/ Mr Oizo) La Mouette (7", Karat Records) La Guerre Aux Trousses (12", Karat Records, 2000) # as duo KRIKARK (w/ Krikor) Boulevard Rushchouard (12", Karat Records, 2004) # as duo COPACABANNARK (w/ Cabanne) Copacabannark (10", Perlon, 2001) To Beach Or Not To Beach (12", Perlon, 2004) Les Sables De… EP (12", Minibar, 2006) # as duo ARK & MOSSA Cobra (12", Complot, 2007) # as duo LES CERVEAUX LENTS (w/ Mikaël Weill) Mireille D’Ark & Mikatastroph (12", Karat Records, 2007) Tribute To Chicago / Le Manège Hanté (12", Karat Records, 2008) # as duo ARK & DOLIBOX Track "Hinano" appears on "French Connection Vol.1" (12", Thema, 2008)
