At the intersection of widescreen Electronica and precision-tooled Techno, French sound architect Arnault Hardy features on his own La Société Anonyme de Musique et de Sons imprint with the single “One After Another,” arriving 23 October 2025. Hardy’s catalogue of work has already marked him as a practitioner of the “slow burn” with a firm focus on dance-floor tone, music that builds tension through detail rather than brute force. Distilling his ethos into a statement piece that nods to Warp’s cerebral lineage while echoing Donato Dozzy’s hypnosis, DJ Koze’s playful psychedelia, and Lorenzo Senni’s deconstructed signatures.
The track opens on a lattice of shifted re-sampled tones, whilst skittering percussion settles into a weightless four-to-the-floor beat. A deliberately restrained low-end, keeping space for the tonal complexity that drives the character of the track. Midway through, Hardy breaks the rhythm with additional elements that complete the groove without ever abandoning its dance-floor compass.
“One After Another” captures the tactile instability of Arnault’s productions while retaining the surgical clarity of modern production. The result is a track that feels both meticulously engineered and palpably human. Expect the Heads and DJs across the underground continuum to slot this into peak-hour or sunrise moments alike.
