Thomas Arroyo aka L'Aroye, 24 years old, first worked at radio Nova (organising the Novamix), when he moved to Paris a few times ago, then as a post production assistant in Bruce Keen and Alex Firlas studio. Nowadays, hes DJ at the trendy parisian restaurant Georges (on top of Centre Georges Pompidou), and composer for STEPHANE POMPOUGNAC (compilations such as Costes 4, Georges as well as Stephane Pompougnacs forthcoming album due out in april 2003). Now as L'AROYE, he also produces on his own. He first got noticed lately with his fine remix of Save The Love by KARL THE VOICE on Laplage records (a track also to be featuring on Karls own lp). Apart from collaborations planned with MAINE Records electro jazz label run by another funky Parisian, ERIC RUG- his main aim is to work along side PABLO VALENTINO to establish the ever changing Faces sound as some of the true pioneers of a broken sonic language yet to be written Faces introduction: In the true adventurous spirit of his Kenbun radio show (based in Strasbourg, at the French eastern frontier and available online on wabam.com), PABLO VALENTINO is all about good music period. May it be jazz, hip-hop, techno, broken beats or whatever but always trying to explode and explore the boundaries between all creating patterns past, present and future. After touring with the deadly British duo ZERO dB, he convinces them to invest him of a serious mission: create FACES -an offshoot for their latin breakbeat label FLUID OUNCE which could investigate further into the most cutting edge productions on all corners of the globe With such gifted and diversified breakologic manoeuvres by LAROYE, DJ VENOM aka THE VIPER SQUAD, CHRIS VOGADO (ZERO dB) or MOONSTARRhold tight! First 12 on Faces is signed by LAROYE, a new face to discover On his first EP, entitled The Sci-Fi Sessions (with the help of ROMAIN CAILLARD on Fender Rhodes + Prophet 600 and GREG MUSSO on bass) he demonstrates ill skills from the melodic bliss of South Visita to the broken ruffness of P-600 Invasion. As the wise German writer Herman Hesse said (in his book Steppenwolf) : Every man has thousand faces.
