Muttonheads

Jérôme Tissot, performing as Muttonheads, is a pivotal figure in the second wave of French house. Emerging from a background of Amiga 500 sampling and analog synth experimentation, Tissot's work is a bridge between the raw, filtered 'French Touch' of the late 90s and the more polished, commercially successful electro-house of the 2000s.

His sound identity is built on a foundation of disco and funk, specifically drawing from the melodic and rhythmic tropes of 80s Italian disco, which he modernizes through heavy sidechain compression and digital synthesis. Throughout his career, particularly during his tenure with Serial Records, Tissot has maintained a reputation for high-quality production that balances club utility with pop accessibility. His collaboration in Serial Crew further solidified his position within the French electronic scene alongside peers like Antoine Clamaran and Laurent Wolf. Critical consensus views him as a reliable purveyor of 'feel-good' club music, noted for his technical proficiency and ability to craft enduring hooks that survive the rapid turnover of dance music trends.
