Ekler’o’shock, September 2014: Oz, aliens, first EP<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

On 22 September 2014, Paul Armand-Delille (Polo) and Alexandre Grynszpan (Pan) released their debut EP Dorothy<\/em> on Hamburger Records and Ekler’o’shock. The title track runs about five minutes sixteen. The EP also holds C\u0153ur d’artichaut<\/em>, Rivolta<\/em>, Dragon Pom Z<\/em>, plus remixes by In Flagranti and Get A Room!. This chronicle stays with that 2014 original, not the later anniversary remixes.<\/p>\n

Before the EP, the duo were known for club and festival DJ sets – Le Baron, Calvi on the Rocks – more than for a finished studio statement. Dorothy<\/em> fixed their calling card: warm house tempos, French-pop melody, and samples that feel cinematic rather than purely functional. The title nods to The Wizard of Oz<\/em>; the official video, directed by David Tomaszewski and premiered around 10 September 2014, overlays Judy Garland’s film world with aliens and collage humour.<\/p>\n

On the track itself you hear a steady dance pulse, soft synths, and a vocal hook that stays singable after one listen. Polo & Pan favour clarity over density: each layer has room, the bass stays round, and the melody carries the fairy-tale wink without turning childish. EARMILK described the premiere as French-pop with a bizarre edge – weird enough to watch twice, clear enough to play in a daytime set.<\/p>\n

The video mattered as much as the audio for first contact. Tomaszewski’s edit travels online the way early viral dance clips did: one strong visual gag, a track you can loop, and a duo still introducing themselves. Festival bookers and blog playlists picked it up as an entry point long before the bigger albums arrived.<\/p>\n

The EP launched a run that later included Canop\u00e9e<\/em>, Nan\u00e3<\/em>, the album Caravelle<\/em>, and festival headline slots. Ten years on, anniversary editions and remixes (including a 2024 Myd version) pointed back to this first chapter. Those revisits are footnotes; the work to chronical is the 2014 Hamburger \/ Ekler release and Tomaszewski’s Oz collage.<\/p>\n

Put on the original Dorothy<\/em> from the 2014 EP. That is where Polo & Pan first sound fully themselves on record: dancefloor tempo, pop melody, and a film reference worn lightly.<\/p>\n
