Ten years after their debut album 1999, Cassius start up their own label - aptly named Cassius Records. And they hit it of with a bang! the first release Youth Speed Trouble Cigarettes differs a lot from their previous material, I'd say it leans more towards the new French Touch wave than their original French Touch sound - if you get what i mean. Check out the video too some time.
A while ago mister Karl Lagerfeld held a Chanel fashion show in Venice. Frenchies SomethingALaMode were asked to deliver the music, but since Chanel is rather strict there wasn't a lot to be shared with you :( Now however, they made a remix and decided to share it with all of you for free. Enjoy!
It's been such a long time since we last heard new Vitalic material (not speaking of remixes), that his characteristic sound - which was all around a few years ago - sounds so refreshing these days.
If you saw Justice sometime in 2007, you will without a doubt have heard them play DatA's Minuit Jacuzzi remix. Two years later DatA finally got out his album (it's been out for a month really, i needed some time to decide whether i like it or not). So...... i like it a lot. I especially like the collaborations with Sebastien Grainger, they make a great team, but assuming you've already heard those by now, why not listen to the title track with the equally awesome Benjamin Diamond. DatA - Skywriter (Feat. Benjamin Diamond)(ALT)
Raw Man (known from the Crydamoure label) and Modjo are both ssssound favourites. So naturally, Raw Man + Modjo equals delight and nostalgia to the heydays of French Touch (and of course, Raw Man + Yann Destal from Modjo = Priors). An album is coming, definitely something to look forward to!
Summer is coming, time for some original French Touch, coming from Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo's label Crydamoure. This must have the most hilarious vocals ever, so i give you the Zeusapella too, to put on top of all your favourite songs. I know you want to. DANCE DANCE DANCE!
SebastiAn is a genius, especially when it comes to remixes. What i personally think is his best remix, was never released though. This was on Disco Delicious a long time ago and the only version i know of is this rip from a mix he made for Pig Radio...
2009 has already brought us some great albums, but there's lots more to come. For example: Phoenix! Their album Wolfgang Amadeus doesn't come out until 25th May, but they're such sweet boys they give us a taste of it already - for free!
I love Poney Poney because they're like an indie/rock version of current electro music (ok, it might help a lot that Xavier de Rosnay is their producer) They're working on their album right now, very excited to know what it will sound like, but if it's anything like Cross the Fader we can be more than pleased.
Bertrand Burgalat is/was working with Aeroplane on their new album (i don't know if it's finished yet?) Plus, his debut album was called "The Sssound of Mmmusic". We cannot not love him, can we?
The Shoes do not disappoint. They bring something different every time, but the result is always 100% The Shoes (which automatically means i think it's brilliant)
I won't be posting much these coming weeks, but don't be scared, i'm not dead, just sleeping! (well, uhm... sort of!) But before i go hibernating, i leave you with some great stuff. I might add some new ssssound from time to time to this post, so check back every now and then. night night!
