As one of the most versatile producers in French electronic music, Nicolas Chaix truly lives up to his home label's name. Recording solo as I:Cube and together with
Versatile Records label owner
Gilb'R as
Château Flight, Chaix has been responsible for some of the most memorable dance music productions of the past decade. I:Cube's music fuses influences of Detroit and Chicago house and techno with distinctly French sampling and filtering techniques and well dosed jazz influences. His first 12" '
Disco Cubizm' (containing a remix by a group called
Daft Punk) appeared on Versatile in 1996, and since then Nicolas Chaix has released four acclaimed albums and a wealth of singles and EPs under his I:Cube name, including such memorable ones as his collaboration with Wu-Tang chief RZA, '
Can You Deal With That?' and the wonderful deep house tracks of '
Les Archives Cubiste'.
