Hugo Kant is back with a brilliant new album “Far From Home” and an atmospheric new single “The Second Sun”

Hugo Kant is back with a brilliant new album “Far From Home” and an atmospheric new single “The Second Sun”. Hugo Kant is the solo studio project of multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer Quentin Le Roux, from Marseilles, France. He played on that album on keyboards, flutes, bass, guitar, drums, flugelhorn, clarinet, and also sang on two songs “Sure The Sun Will Rise” and “Come With Me”. His music incorporates and redefines elements of jazz, hip-hop, trip-hop, classical music, 70’s rock, and world music to form a rich original and cohesive whole.

“The Second Sun” grabs your attention and takes you for a hypnotic ride, which is dense and atmospheric, with heavy and rich percussion and soulful flute. This music is made with acoustic instruments, penetrating instrumental solos, atmospheric samples, strong rhythmics and catchy melodies. He is using a wide diversity of traditional and contemporary instruments borrowed from different cultures and music styles.

Soon after he began collaborating with several artists like Jenova 7, Screenatorium or Audiophysical and did some remix for artists such as Chinese Man, The Herbaliser and Ancient Astronauts.

In 2013 he released his second EP “Leave Me Alone” with a track featuring the Californian MC LostPoet and two remixes by The Herbaliser and Chinese Man. His second LP “The Point Of No Return” was released on June 2014 including collaborations with Belleruche singer Kathrin DeBoer and danish singer Astrid Engberg.
