Formed in September 2004 in the town of Lorient, the Paris-based Depth Affect are a quartet comprising of two musicians, one DJ and one VJ. The group has adopted a unique musical approach by choosing to focus on largely instrumental hip-hop-infused electronica, placing the concentration on refining their sound and finding the right slant for their music to become totally universal.

Depth Affect’s latest release “Hero Crisis” is an impressive slab of acerbic cut’n’paste electronica sprinkled with an extra helping of chunky hip-hop bits. Their music is a blend of emotive chords, playful rapping, sharp beats, and catchy rhythms. The album has a music box quality, with its heavily processed samples lending an air of carefree magic. You are taken into a warm, glitchy odyssey through the eyes of some progressives who ditch urban politics in favor of gleaming hooks and cerebral, euphoric keyboards. Depth Affect builds a very personal sonic universe in which glitches and breaks cohabitate in perfect harmony. Whatever the quartet throws themselves into, they manage to make total sense of it.

Depth Affect’s inventive and eccentric numbers are well-suited for corporate-branded projects screaming for edgy hip-hop and electronic music. Their aptly-titled album “Hero Crisis” has the perfect amount of danger and mystique to be used as for films and TV shows that involve an atypical, yet epic hero’s journey.
