Kick Bong is the Psybient project of French producer Frank Jousselin. Although it can be defined as "Chill Psy" or "Psybient", Kick Bong's sound is somewhat different from other artists within the Psybient realm in that it has a somewhat dark and spooky atmospheric quality to it. Kick Bong also places a much larger emphasis on percussion than it's contemporaries, utilizing (at times) heavy breakbeats.
