BZMC (F)

Maxime Primault is a French musician, born in 1983. He has generated many projects over the years, including Black Zone Myth Chant (or BZMC), originally described as « Sun Ra meets Dj Screw ».
Experimenting with music since his late teenage years, Maxime’s international career really took off under the alias High Wolf, in 2008, born together with his Winged Sun records DIY label. High Wolf’s music consists of a mix of psychedelic music, ambient electronics and ethnic ritual influences. He was mostly affiliated with US labels at the time (Not Not Fun records and Leaving Records out of Los Angeles, Holy Mountain, and more).
Pretty soon High Wolf started performing all over the world: Europe, USA, Australia, Japan, China etc.
Despite being rather busy with this project, Maxime kept inventing new musical identities with side projects.Originally started as a reminder of his first steps with sampler, a decade earlier, Black Zone Myth Chant became one of them. Built from an alloy of Hip Hop beats and experimental sounds, this vessel allowed the artist to venture into different and darker territories.
BZMC self-released first album « Straight Cassette » came out on tape in the end of 2011. Having grown a solid fan base among nerds, it went on to be successfully reissued on Vinyl two years later and reach a larger audience. The moniker, though, could have been left out to drift into oblivion, had it not been for the French artist and DJ Low Jack’s proposal to release a new BZMC album, on his newborn Edition Gravat label.
Over a few years of collaboration, the partnership with Edition Gravat spawned numerous BZMC releases, such as “Mane Thecel and Phares” (2015) or “Feng Sheng” (2017), as well as multiples tours and clubs events. The original BZMC sound also slightly shifted shape, to turn into a singular synthesis of electronic experimentations, syncopated grooves, dubby basslines, hypnotic vocals and industrial sounds.
In April 2019, the wide aesthetic range of the project was on full-display with the release of the spiritual ambient LP entitled “Voyage Sacrifice”, on the highly regarded Shelter Press label.
BZMC is back in 2022 with the IN D EV IL EP, coming out as a 12’ vinyl EP on Winged Sun’s new division, WS-PRO, using new tools, improved production techniques, and focusing on a bass music aesthetic. As elegantly described in the press release, IN D EV IL is :
« Masterfully disorienting, flickering with FX, drops, and narcotic murmuring, at the threshold of dissociative and dubstep. ».
