Photons
By turning electronic music into a playground for hybrid jazz, Photons brings trance to the dancefloor.
After training in jazz at the Haute École de Musique in Lausanne and performing as a sideman for Anne Paceo, Théo Ceccaldi, and Léon Phal, pianist and composer Gauthier Toux fell in love with club sounds on the Berlin night scene. Formed in 2022 with drummer Julien Loutelier, guitarist Giani Caserotto, and bassist Samuel F’hima, Photons embodies this passion, finding its own sound between house and techno, acoustic and electronic, while keeping the penchant for groove and improvisation taken from jazz. La Nuit sans l’Ennui, their first album released in autumn 2024, attests to their flexible art, broad sound spectrum, and feel for melody reminiscent of the creative minds behind English label Warp. With their EP PLIER (2025), the group is flirting with the bolder rhythms of an elegant and powerful techno.
