We are pleased to present the first split in a series titled “Split & Doux,” which features an exclusive track from one of the label’s bands (in this case, Ni) as well as a track from a guest band (in this case, the Slovak band Vojdi).

Vojdi creates complex compositions with shifting motifs and unconventional rhythms, blending influences from math rock, progressive rock, indie, and shoegaze. Their innovative style also fuses art rock and industrial, featuring numerous experimental instrumental flourishes. Known for its fragmented arrangements, the band’s music is imbued with a strong sense of self-deprecation.

Formed in 2009 when bassist Benoît Lecomte, drummer Nicolas Bernollin, and guitarists François Mignot and Anthony Béard came together, the “knights who say ‘NI’” have shared a whimsical, wild, irreverent, and playful collective imagination for over 17 years. Through two EPs and three albums, as well as hundreds of frenzied concerts across Europe and sometimes beyond, they have established themselves as a leading force in French experimental rock. Power, exuberance, audacity, and finesse come together on the single “Orbe,” co-released on this split 45 rpm record alongside Vojdi’s “Once a Pony Time.”
