Umami

French DJ/producer Bruno Boumendil (aka Folamour) takes the bright aesthetics of disco and adds a significant amount of house groove, making for laid-back but propulsive club tracks.

Originally hailing from Lyon, Boumendil quickly found his feet as an upcoming talent, releasing his first mixtape, 2015's Chapeau Rouge, on Fauxpas Music. From there he went from strength to strength, establishing himself outside of France for his skills as a DJ. He went on to establish his own label, Moonrise Hill Material, alongside Ethyene, Kaffe Crème, and Okwa; he released his debut album, 2017's Umami, through the label. Around the same time, he moved over to London, where he established another label, FHUO (For Heaven Use Only) Records, through which he released his sophomore album, 2019's Ordinary Drugs. ~ Liam Martin
