Depuis 2012 Jardin décloisonne le club et convertit l’énergie kinésique de la danse en une force contestataire à travers une musique dansante, poétique, politique, numérique et analogique.
Après deux albums, de nombreuses et fructueuses collaborations ainsi que plusieures mixtapes,
Jardin présente aujourd’hui son
troisième long format : ÉPÉE.
Ce troisième album, produit intégralement par Leny, augmente les influences rap, R&B, techno industrielle, ghetto house et science
fiction qui structurent le projet depuis son inception d’une inspiration renforcée par 3 ans de lives, d’expériences et de création.
Avec ÉPÉE Jardin affine sa vision et propose un album précis et hanté où il pose un regard queer, social et humaniste sur la société
technologique, sécuritaire et urbaine.

Jardin has been Leny Bernay’s outlet to rap, shout and sing over his bouncy, cyber and poetic music since 2012, when he first debuted
the project.
In his re-writing of EBM and thanks to his ability to turn the kinetic energy of danse into a protest force, Jardin breaks club culture clusters.
After releasing two LPs, a handful of mixtapes and through fruitful collaborations, Jardin has crafted his third long format and is proud to
present ÉPÉE (SWORD) to the world.
This new effort was entirely produced by Leny. The music forefronts his Rap and RnB influences with hard grooving vocals building on the sci fi aesthetics, ghetto house and industrial techno backbone of Jardin’s sound.
ÉPÉE is Jardin’s most precise rendition of his vision. The testimony of the artists’s queer, social and humanist gaze over our urban, tech-
infused and policed society.

That synth pop like this exists in the 21st century is a gift from the heavens. The cheeky reverences to the past (the orchestra blast in "LA"!) are a delight. And it's all so smooth - cool - dark. Addictive! Alexander S. Kunz
I first heard this some time ago and lost it in my collection of digital downloads. Then one day came across it again.
The raw energy that powers it its simplicity no frills. It is pure pleasure to listen too.
Even though I do not understand the lyrics. It is great to hear something that is not sung in English done with style. 💿;
Just as impressive as the first one, Flava D's second LP continues to grandstand 2step and garage house, as they should! Plenty of groovin' tracks for the limelight such as "Love Story", and movin' songs for the nightlight like "Forgiven", Flava D maintains that dynamism of fun-loving yet heart-warming sound that makes anybody with a soul get up and dance!
If you desperately needed something to make the crowd bounce, definitely invest in this album! Moonholders
