About us

Orangemachine is a label created by the French YouTuber Knarf, from the YouTube channel Les Sondiers.

Les Sondiers, a reference media for electronic music equipment enthusiasts

Les Sondiers is the first independent media covering audio production, home studio recording and electronic musical instruments in France, providing specialised content to many French-speaking countries in Europe, North America and Africa. Established in 2014, Les Sondiers livestreams three times a week on YouTube, Twitch and Facebook: music equipment news, professional trade shows, tutorials and tests of hardware and software, live performances.

A lively connection with a vast network of artists

Through his weekly videos and podcasts, Knarf has set new standards for equipment-related content on social media, with musical demonstrations at the heart of every publication. Over the years, his expertise and reputation have connected him with many artists: Yann Tiersen, Space 92, Boris Brejcha, Joachim Garraud, Deep Forest, Boombass, Toxic Avenger, Sébastien Léger, Teho, Tony Romera, and many others. Many regularly take part in his podcast, sharing their views on equipment news — with a few artistic collaborations along the way. Nothing but passion for electronic music.

Orangemachine, a way to promote new talent

Knarf has always wanted to involve the incredible community of enthusiasts who follow him. Started in 2022, the weekly listening sessions on Twitch revealed an unexpected number of talents among his subscribers. It then became essential to find a way to promote these new artists and push their music to new heights: Orangemachine was born.

The Orangemachine adventure begins now, relying on a strong community and the support of established artists.

With over 1,000 videos online, Les Sondiers is a globally followed media that inspires the desire to make music, discover new talented artists and share the passion for music production.
