"Vincent Fenton is French Kiwi Juice, is the Paris-based music producer is doing exactly that – producing music, and there is something so genuinely alive about that can’t get enough. At first the name ‘French Kiwi Juice’ seemed like yet another amalgam of random words to create a memorable band name like so many indie groups. But Vincent Fenton is no indie group, and as it turns out, I see the name French Kiwi Juice as exactly indicative as well as evocative of the intangible sound he creates. Entitling the 2017 album with the initials of his stage name is perhaps strategic, announcing himself and declaring that his sound, his music and his name are one and the same.
Each of the twelve tracks is unique and marvelously arranged. Bubbling synths back up steady bass hits and smoothly edited vocals. It’s the peak of electronica’s intersection with jazz. As both the album and band name suggest, there is something intrinsically juicy and ripe about this music, simultaneously tart and sweet and given rich texture with the added French style. Without a doubt, there is something essentially flavorful about his music. Like Gramatik and Big Gigantic before him, Fenton is pushing the boundaries of our auditory pleasure sensors. This is music based on beautiful contradictions, upbeat deep house, scripted jazz, atmosphere with presence."
