Intro

Vincent Fenton, performing as FKJ (French Kiwi Juice), is a central figure in the Roche Musique scene and a pioneer of the modern 'New French House' sound that incorporates heavy jazz and soul influences. Emerging from the SoundCloud era, he gained global recognition for his live looping videos, which demystified the production process by showcasing his proficiency on guitar, bass, keys, and saxophone.

His career arc moved from club-oriented house EPs like 'Time for a Change' toward more cinematic, organic, and introspective works, culminating in the 2022 album 'V I N C E N T'. His move to the Philippines significantly impacted his aesthetic, introducing tropical field recordings and a more relaxed, nature-oriented tempo to his work. Critically, he is praised for bridging the gap between technical musicianship and electronic accessibility. He occupies a unique cultural space as a 'musician's producer,' admired by gear enthusiasts for his setup and by casual listeners for his effortless, high-fidelity chill-out vibes.
