California’s Warren Walker and French Drummer Antonin Violot Launch New Cross-Genre Project Bridging Jazz and Rave Culture. On “Money Jungle,” out today, saxophone, acoustic drums, and modular synthesizers merge to give life to a new form, somewhere between Jazz and reinvented Jungle.

Paris, France — California-born musician Warren Walker, long celebrated for his fluid movement between contemporary jazz, electronic music, and ambient soundscapes, has joined forces with French drummer Antonin Violot to unveil a bold new project positioned at the crossroads of jazz improvisation and rave-driven energy.

Active since the early 2000s, Walker has built a reputation for expanding the language of modern jazz through experimentation with electronics and immersive atmospheres. Violot, a rising force on the European scene, brings a dynamic, forward-thinking approach to rhythm and pulse — pushing acoustic drums into club-ready territory.

Together, the duo merges their distinct sensibilities into a live experience that blurs genre lines and reimagines the chemistry between instrumental performance and dance-floor culture. Their set unfolds as a hybrid journey: equal parts jazz exploration, electronic propulsion, and ambient depth.

Already in high demand, Walker and Violot have begun presenting the project in top clubs across Paris, Barcelona, and Berlin, where audiences have embraced the pair’s ability to fuse improvisation with the immediacy and intensity of contemporary nightlife.

The duo will continue expanding their tour across Europe throughout the year, with new dates and additional project details to be announced soon.
