Braxe + Falcon
Braxe + Falcon are a French touch music duo consisting of the cousins Alain and Stéphane Quême, known professionally as Alan Braxe and DJ Falcon. Each released music on Thomas Bangalter's label Roulé in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but were not aware of each other's music careers, having only sporadically met before at family gatherings. They started collaborating seriously in 2014, producing demos that they left untouched until 2020, when the Domino Records manager Peter Berard convinced them to finish their work. From this, they released in 2022 the tracks "Step by Step" with Panda Bear, "Creative Source", and "Elevation" with Sunni Colón, supporting that year's Step by Step EP.
Later, in 2023, they produced a remix of "Winter Solstice" for the band Phoenix and appeared at some of Panda Bear's shows with Sonic Boom. In 2024, they released the single "All This Love" with Bibio and performed as part of the closing ceremony for the Paris Paralympic Games. In 2025, they produced a remix of Justice's "Mannequin Love", and Braxe + Falcon formed the supergroup UFOs with Phoenix, releasing their debut single "UFO".
Braxe describes his use of musical equipment as minimalist, with Falcon being the opposite. Braxe describes himself and Falcon as "not real musicians" considering their lack of knowledge of conventional instruments like a keyboard instrument or guitar. The duo favour modular synthesisers for their ability to produce bass, play chords, sample waveforms or make drums, and what Braxe describes as the opportunity to form a "relationship" with the musical instruments. The duo utilize the Ableton Live and Digital Performer software when recording.
