After a 1999 debut that blended jazz, turntablism, hip-hop, and indie rock, French producer and remixer Joakim has maintained a similarly eclectic profile, both on his own releases and in his work as a producer, collaborator, remixer, and head of his own influential Tigersushi label. Albums such as 2007's Monsters & Silly Songs combined left-field house, neo-disco, post-punk, and Krautrock influences, while the artist embraced more sophisticated pop forms on subsequent releases like 2011's Nothing Gold and 2017's Samurai. The more experimental, downtempo Second Nature appeared in 2021, with its remix album arriving the following year.
