Hailing from Toulouse in the south of France, but also living in Belgium and constantly traveling, Les Trolls are a collective of producers, MCs and artists who have continued to impress us the past five years with a string of self-released EPs. Their style, created largely by 2 producers, Nurgle and Trouble Clef, is a blend of elements most commonly known in French free-party circles as hard tek. While hard tek generally refers to a techno sound punctuated by distorted 909 kicks, Les Trolls blend a solid hip hop foundation into the mix, utilizing Paris MC Abraxas, among others. They also don't shy away from weaving in live instrumentation and improvisation. After years of being impressed, we decided it was the right time to compile their best tracks onto one CD, their first U.S. release. Check this link to hear the first track on the CD:?
