Premier Album de FiKus :: Homegrown
<p>
After many years of artificial photosynthesis spent in his sound garden, now is the time for FiKus to harvest and share</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Sound engineer and musician based in Marseille for over a decade now, Julien SAYEGH aka FiKus scatters and cultivates his electro / hip hop productions according to the people he meets.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Istanbul, London, Paris, Barcelona and of course, Marseille are the cities where FiKus acclimates best through creative and fertile musical soil.</p>
<p>
8 Songs from his first album "Homegrown" are perfectly condensed wanderings of our southern green plant: sometimes contemplative, sometimes bodybuilded, FiKus’s tracks strung the ear in a very eclectic and powerful way.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Backed for the occasion by a string of musicians, Voodoo Ray , Mr Stixx and Last Man Standing (UK), Anton Dimberger and Gines Rodriguez (Cafetera Roja ES), Crech le Klebar, Mr. Torture and Cardiac, Elmo (Fr) and many more...</p>
<p>
FiKus allowed freedom of expression for all, even if, ultimately, he is the head gardener who finalized everything and made it home grown...</p>

Collecting’s will be used to fund the complete pressing of 300 LPs, to distribute the album, and there will be obviously a digital release on Itunes, Deezer etc ... for non 12” fanatics.</p>
<p>
In fact, the production of the disc was financed entirely by myself:</p>
<p>
- Voice Recording in London, Paris and Marseille</p>
<p>
- The album has mixed in Zulu Tango Studio in Paris with the help of Henry Blanc-Francard.</p>
<p>
- Digital mastering</p>
<p>
- Finyl Tweek Vinyl Mastering Studio in London with Shane the Cutter (Tricky, Faithless, DJ Shadow ...)</p>
<p>
- SDRM</p>
<p>
- Pressing 300 copies And with great help from my friends, and my friends’ friends, I was able to achieve all this. Now all that's missing to me that this small sum for pressing 300 copies</p>
