Olivier and Cédric's let-loose project. It sounds like a day at Disneyland with (way!) too much caffeine. Totally weird and chaotic broken beats topped with various sampled nonsense. The common factor? Humour. From the odd notes of a brass band to voices ordering chips with mayonnaise, it is impossible to reckon Axiome take themselves seriously. Even the titles are hilarious jokes and references - though (un)fortunately, I doubt anyone outside Belgium gets what is funny about that part, hein m'fi!
And live? The same thing! If you talk to him after their concert, Olivier will likely answer: "It was funny, wasn't it?"
As for Cédric, if he does not look amused and stays quiet for more than two minutes in a row while playing, you are probably watching the wrong guy. :-)

None of their albums ever catches the intense punch of what they perform on stage. Oscillating between the devastated flatlands of noise and thunderstorm parts of drum & bass Moreau (Imminent) shows he is nothing but a genius on the control units and the other guy just rocks away the crowd. Flash! Don't miss on stage!
