At Lyon Béton, we love music. It accompanies us every day and influences our work. The modular furniture system Dice is a perfect example. One of the constraints imposed on designer Alexandre Dubreuil when developing this collection was to create a solution capable of housing a vinyl record collection.
That’s why we are thrilled to partner with Diggers Factory to offer you an exclusive vinyl selection!
Diggers Factory allows independent artists to press vinyl records without hassle through crowdfunding, making it accessible and financially risk-free. Their support from start to finish ensures high-quality projects, in limited editions, appealing to both collectors and fans.
Here are six vinyl records, meticulously selected by the Diggers Factory team for the Lyon Béton community. Each record is a rich musical experience, blending art and emotion. Let’s explore these different projects and discover what makes them so special.
01
Serge Gainsbourg
“À la radio”
Let’s dive back into 1964 and 1966, when the legend of French chanson Serge Gainsbourg participated in two unprecedented radio recordings, marking the end of his “blue period.” This album captures the essence of Gainsbourg’s early years, marked by a clever mix of left-bank songs, jazz influences, and exotic rhythms.
02
MonoNeon
“Basquiat and Skittles Limited Edition”
MonoNeon, one of the most creative musicians of our time, is known for his eccentric, experimental, and funky style. His writing and voice push the boundaries of music as we know it. The album “Basquiat and Skittles” showcases his artistic freedom and ingenuity. Tracks like “The Answer Is In The Pyramid (Turn It Upside Down)” and “Three Bears” perfectly represent his innovative spirit and connection to the Dada movement.
03
DJ Cam
“Soulshine”
“Soulshine” is an emotional masterpiece by producer DJ Cam, who has collaborated with funk legends such as Cameo, Guru from Gang Starr, and DJ Premier. Released in 2002, the single “Summer in Paris” sold over 3 million copies worldwide. This album, awarded “Best European Hip Hop Act” in London, is a nu-soul gem with a French touch, perfect for your vinyl collection.
04
The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra – “Star Wars”
Diggers Factory has gathered the most fascinating tracks from the Star Wars saga on this exclusive vinyl. From the original trilogy of 1977 to the prequels and sequels, the music of Star Wars has captivated its audience for decades. This collection features the iconic compositions of John Williams, performed by the renowned City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, a must-have for any fan of the intergalactic epic!
