# Release Calendar — the manifeste (v2: live-staples first)

## Confirmed direction (PLN, 2026-06-05)
- **LEAD SINGLE: PunkAChien** 🔥 — long-awaited "fire night track", joins *Nuit Agitée*'s vibe.
  Ship take = **Montreuil split** (`Montreuil26_master/tracks_bandcamp/09-PunkAChien.flac`,
  4:48, 192 kHz → master to 44.1/−14 LUFS). Alt takes: Live@Hamburg (39C3), NouveauPunk (Opal).
- **Also ship as singles** (capture forgotten gold + expected bangers): Contre Visite,
  It's About Time, Sunny Side Up. **Long run: release everything.**
- Take-sourcing notes:
  - ⚠️ **Contre Visite** — no clean Prod recording; **extract from an Algolia set stem (2022–24)**.
  - **Sunny Side Up** (light-sample, "single-and-pray") — pick: CosmicFest vs Montreuil "Super".
  - **It's About Time** — `AboutTime_Take1` vs `ItsAboutTime_take1_raw`.
  - Sample-heavy (clear or accept risk): **Techno Orage**, **La Révolution Sera Samplée**.


**Priority = tracks you actually play live and haven't released** (2024–2026), ranked
by how many setlists they appear in. NOT the weak 2020 standalone uploads. Source:
aggregated site setlists (23 gigs) + Montreuil/CosmicFest splits, minus released
(Apple∪Deezer, aka-aware).

Sourcing: most staples already have a recording in a recent **set stem-export**
(Ardour Takes, e.g. CosmicFest=Take70, Montreuil=Take89) or a **Prod split**
(`Montreuil26_master/tracks_bandcamp/` already holds PunkAChien, Take5Drops, Super
Sunny Side Up, Desire, …). So: pick best source → tidal-ears master → ship.

## The 12 (proven set staples)

| # | Single | live plays | source / note |
|--:|---|--:|---|
| 1 | **Contre Visite** | 9 | most-played unreleased — flagship relaunch |
| 2 | **Sunny Side Up** | 9 | (Montreuil has "Super Sunny Side Up" variant) |
| 3 | **Salut Nu** | 8 | Audacity project `SalutNu_r1` exists |
| 4 | **Invoque l'Été** | 7 | → **August** drop, ties CosmicFest v1 ☀️ |
| 5 | **Permanence** | 7 | |
| 6 | **Something about Drums** | 5 | (Prod `SomethingAboutDnb`) |
| 7 | **Venons Ensemble** | 5 | on CF Bandcamp, not DSP single (come_* sample pack) |
| 8 | **Bain Électrique** | 4 | on CF Bandcamp, not DSP single |
| 9 | **PunkAChien** | 4 | Montreuil split FLAC ready |
| 10 | **Premier Septembre** (=Sept1) | 3 | → **September** 🍂; collab (Rhadamanthe) → split |
| 11 | **Acidulé** | 3 | |
| 12 | **Piment Brésilien** | 3 | Montreuil split ready; summery |

## Pool (next tier, played 2–3×)
Nightly Repair · It's About Time · Quand on Décolle · Lady Perplexity · Orage / Techno
Orage · Take 5 Drops · Mafia Sans Serif · You My Sunshine · Desire · La Révolution Sera
Samplée · Premiere Grillade · Break Dynasty · Nass Revient de Mars · Love First · Ère de Jeu …

## Seasonal garnish (slot where it fits, don't force)
Invoque l'Été → Aug · Premier Septembre → Sep · Orage → autumn · summer bangers → Jul/Aug.

## Per-release pipeline
best recording (set stem / Prod split / Audacity) → **tidal-ears master** (−14 stream /
−9 club) → artwork → **CD Baby (DSP) + Bandcamp** (prefer a BC Friday) → keep SC →
**announce via sémaphore** + a sampling/sequencing content post.

## Flags
- **aka-dedup (already released, exclude):** Blue Gold = L'Or Bleu · JeuDrill = Jeudi Drill.
- **collabs → Soundrop split + flotille:** Premier Septembre, Faith in Bass, Liquid Finale.
- Many staples live *inside sets* → depend on set-splitting (#18) for clean masters,
  unless a Prod split / standalone already exists.
- Confirm the 12 with PLN before committing — readiness (does a clean master exist?)
  may reorder them.
