Broad

• All headings seem reasonable and all content expected to be here, is. // Chchcheckit (talk) 13:28, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
• background and history is unorthodox and will think on it more. likely overthinking. // Chchcheckit (talk) 13:28, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

  I only gave as much context as I did because reliable sources do so. These two musicians are very niche and they aren't like common knowledge famous. Even though they've done work in records that many people hear sometimes when they drive around in GTA V like "Music Sounds Better with You", or club banger hits like "So Much Love to Give", it's really not that feasible of an idea that people will recognize who these people are, or really understand their niche legacy which factors into their bodies of work pretty prominently. On that note, much of their context in work they do as Braxe + Falcon relates to their tenure past of French house; "Step by Step (Braxe + Falcon song) is based on a subversion of the style of their past music, or other stuff like "Creative Source" was based on samples left on a sampler that Falcon had lying around since his time doing music back in the late 90s early 2000s. It's good to give the notable stuff its dues early on so the article can feel comprehensive to a reader figuring about Braxe + Falcon body of work. BarntToust 21:18, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

  the content you've written is fine/great and also necessary for reasons you have stated; i meant more in a formatting sense, hence overthinking // Chchcheckit (talk) 23:03, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Prose

• mention braxe + falcon's genre in the artisty; also is there any further discussion of braxe + falcon's style independent of the musicians themselves? // Chchcheckit (talk) 13:28, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

Of all the English-language sources which exist, there are no sources that discuss Braxe's artistry itself save how it contributes to their collaborative process, nor Falcon's. The big thing is that the sources discuss individual contribution of artistry while framing it in the context of the collaboration, the sources given aren't anyhing irrelevant like Braxe talking about Braxe's style for an interview about Braxe's record.

Likewise, I have rewritten the Artistry section a bit to factor in discussion of genres. BarntToust 02:09, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

• I think you'd be good without the "Falcon concluded [...]" part of background bc i think its somewhat tautologous but eh // Chchcheckit (talk) 15:25, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

  yep, sort of rewrote that. BarntToust 01:34, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

• Pitchfork described their meticulous sampling techniques as time-consuming, more so than those of other quicker, less "judicious" producers.[2] The duo's production style, described as "painstaking" by Pitchfork, is due to them not having advanced technical prowess This is Braxe + Falcon describing themselves??

Fixed that Y BarntToust 01:33, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Spotchecks

• no unreliable sources seem to be used // Chchcheckit (talk) 23:02, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
• Y Alan Braxe and DJ Falcon are considered influential to French touch and dance music as a whole
• Y In July 2024, they released "All This Love", featuring Bibio. Braxe had received a remix request from Warp Records for Bibio's "S.O.L.", and the two chatted until they decided to collaborate, with Braxe sending Bibio a demo produced by himself and Falcon. Bibio was familiar with the duo's work on Roulé, and worked with them on the track based on the theme of addiction.
• Y general spotcheck of MusicRadar (4)

Copyvio

• Earwig passes; MusicRadar is quite high (37.9%) but it still falls under threshold.
• Both images are appropriately CC licensed/relevant.
• quick note: for formatting reasons, is it possible to combine both images of braxe + falcon into one; in preview, only braxe is displayed.

I was having trouble with the image editing software I was using not getting along with the disparity in resolution between image 1 and 2. A fellow editor, Rhain, got that  Done for me 👍 BarntToust 14:54, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

NPOV

• No issues here; claims to reputation are sourced enough.

Stable

• Passes; not really edited since July 31 2025

@Chchcheckit: all concerns above have to the best of my knowledge been addressed. Anything further needed? Thank you. BarntToust 22:58, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

nope, you're good to go now. thanks. // Chchcheckit (talk) 11:27, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
