Arnaud Bernard has spent years blurring the lines between French hip-hop production and global crate-digging, most notably through his 'Chinoiseries' trilogy. While he’s a veteran of the MPC, we’re seeing a renewed signal: a strategic spike in major editorial playlisting that suggests a re-introduction to a new generation of beat-heads. Watch for whether this momentum translates into a fresh full-length project or if he remains the quiet architect of the lo-fi lineage others now occupy.
