Journey Through Our Discography: Oden & Fatzo

French duo Oden & Fatzo land at Quarters Brighton this weekend for a headline set that feels right on time.

Their sound has always been built for rooms like this. Loose, groove-led house with a strong sense of swing. Records that feel alive when played loud. Sets that lean into energy rather than perfection.

With a Defected album on the way and ‘My Temptations’ already making noise, the timing lines up. This show isn’t just another date. It’s a snapshot of where they are right now.

To mark it, they’ve pulled together five tracks that define their journey so far. From early experimentation to breakout moments and the records that shaped how they write today.

Oden & Fatzo – Super Mega Robot Dinosaur

“It was one of the first tracks where we really started exploring sound synthesis in Ableton, especially using the Vst Wavetable. It was also the first time we experimented with a vocoder, which felt like a new creative step for us. At the time these techniques were unfamiliar territory so the whole process felt exciting and innovative. This process give the track a futuristic, technological vibe where you can imagine a robot dancing under the moon.

We love this record because it feels truly unique in our catalog and even today we don’t have many other tracks in our discography that sound quite like it it, which makes it especially memorable and important to us.”

Oden & Fatzo – OB1 Kenobi

“This one means a lot to us because it really helped shape our sound. It had that Detroit-inspired energy, with deep basslines, warm house pads, and raw 909 drums. The lead that comes in during the second half became a signature element for us and influenced a lot of the music we made afterwards. Looking back, we realized that lead was almost acting like a vocal at a time when we weren’t using vocals yet.

We made it with a synth called the MS 101 and it gave the track a voice of its own through melody. People could connect with it and even sing along to it. Later on, we started replacing that role with actual vocals, but this track was where that idea really began.”

Oden & Fatzo – Lauren

“Lauren was the turning point in our career. It’s the track that changed everything for us and gave us the chance to travel the world together as friends. Before releasing it, we were only playing in Paris and had never even had shows across Europe.

So what happened after was pretty unbelievable for us. We never expected it to have that kind of impact. It opened every door and took our music far beyond anything we had imagined at the time. More than just a track, it represents a major milestone in our story, and it will always hold a special place for us because of everything it made possible.”

Oden & Fatzo – Lady Love

“That was a big moment for us because it was our first collaboration with Defected Records. For us, Defected was a legendary label, so being asked to release a track with them felt unreal.

We actually recorded it while massively hungover, with Steve Appleton and Camden Cox, which makes the whole story even better. It was also a real turning point creatively. The production is quite simple, and that track taught us an important lesson: sometimes less is more.

Before that, we often struggled to keep things minimal and leave space in the musical so that was one of the first records where we embraced that approach, and it ended up shaping the way we produced a lot of tracks afterwards.”

Oden & Fatzo – Tell Me What You Want

“We recorded it with Poppy Baskcomb, who has an absolutely incredible voice. I still remember the first time she sang in the studio we all looked at each other like, what is happening…

Production-wise, it came after Lady Love so it had that same energy: 909 drums, huge powerful chords looping through the whole track, the kind that instantly get stuck in your head. Then she brought that Tell Me What You Want topline, which is so effective. It also taught us a lot about writing hooks that really connect with people keeping the melody rhythmic, direct, repetitive, and perfectly locked into the groove. That became one of our real formulas for making memorable records.”

You can trace the whole arc through these: Early curiosity. Finding a voice without vocals. Breakthrough moments that shift everything. Then having the discipline to strip things back and trust the groove.

That’s exactly what you hear in their sets now.

If you’re heading to Quarters Brighton this weekend, you’re not just getting the hits. You’re getting the full journey, played out in real time, with the kind of energy that only really makes sense when you’re in the room.
