Citadelle Flies Forward with Debut Album on STMPD RCRDS

Parisian electronic duo Citadelle gives listeners a range of house soundscapes to explore on their debut album, Pilot.

There’s some magic in the air when two childhood friends who share a passion for electronic music get together and start producing. That’s exactly what happened when Nicolas Juban and Pierre-Edouard Barthélemy joined forces to create a new project called Citadelle that’s focused on deep, dark soundscapes. Early success arrived in 2020 with a sign-off from Martin Garrix, who worked with them on “Alive” alongside Ytram, but even more greatness was to come.

Since then, Citadelle has churned out impressive singles like 2021’s “Out Of My Mind” and 2022’s “Narrative,” “Through It All” with Drove, and “Emptiness” with Clér Letiv. These tunes gave listeners a taste of the gorgeous soundscapes the duo could craft and helped them build into something even more remarkable: Pilot, their debut album on STMPD RCRDS.

Found inside Pilot are 12 tracks that blur the lines between deep and progressive house with a twinge of melodic techno for added flair that will leave you captivated from the moment you press play. Tracks like “Pilot (Feel Tonight),” “Born To Feel,” “Fading Out” with Aramis, “Used To Be” with S:NE, and “Need You Most” with Dan Soleil show off their ability to incorporate vocals that fit the brooding ambiance of their soundscapes in seamlessly.

As for the standouts on Pilot, look no further than “Deeper,” “Holding On” with FRATTA, and “Safe & Sound,” which brings Dan Soleil back into the mix. Each of these pangs deep in your soul while packing in just enough power to make you want to dance the night away. And if you want to see what Citadelle is really all about then put on “Arpeggio,” because the Parisian duo flexes their production might throughout its entire runtime with stunning synths that are sure to leave you hypnotized.
