Get Off

Diplo hooks up with his dancing buddy Blaqstarr for the latest Mad Decent outing with a wickedly cool nasty-house cut backed with a Rob 3 Remix on Pink Vinyl and loaded with an exclusive side for use by the Serato heads. The pair's original version of 'Get Off' is a sexy neon flavoured hip-houser with serious early 90's attitude kinda similar to Radioslave's Cabana trax series but more poppy. Rob 3 revises the cut for the Bmore crowd with the standard breaks splattered with Bassline style warps and rave stabs for the party. We've only got a limited number of these bad boys and you know they're gonna fly.

Tracklist :
1. Diplo and Blaqstarr - Get Off
2. Diplo and Blaqstarr - Get Off (DJ Rob 3 Remix)

Allure

Jeune artiste parisien de la scène electro-pop, Allure transcrit dans sa musique toute la richesse de son parcours. Il a déjà exploré de nombreux styles (formation classique, jazz, hip-hop) mais c'est la musique électronique qui depuis 2007 lui procure l'énergie et la créativité dont il a besoin. Musicien et compositeur, il utilise le vibraphone en parallèle des machines afin d'habiller ses morceaux d'une sonorité classieuse et envoûtante. Cultivant l'art des contraires, ses productions sont à la fois douces mais incisives, élégantes et dansantes, subtiles mais accessibles. Une démarche qu'il développe actuellement pour la création de son premier album tout en affinant le LiveSet qu'il présentera à partir de ce début d'année 2009 ! Allure, c'est une recette « sucrée-groovée » qui rafraichît la French-Touch en lui donnant des accents de Pop et de Jazz. Un mélange qui se corse sur les dancefloors et qui déclenche un mouvement frénétique de la tête et du corps. Just Dance !

Damn Arms

DAMN ARMS
'DESTINATION'

Coming 11 February 2009

Damn Arms return from their cosmic hiatus on the shores of Babylon sucking down pina coladas, hanging out with Carribean queens, listening to Billy Ocean, eating tropical hotdogs, smelling the scents of sparkle-dust and riding the light fantastic to release their new ‘man-I-feel-real-good’ holiday anthem, “Destination”, on BangGang 12inches. “Destination” marks the band’s shedding of their former twisted-new-rave-crunch exterior for a more refined, filtered ozzie-yacht-house sound. A two-part summer odyssey, Destination Pt1 is a blissed out digital-love serenade, a nautical dance ballad, the ultimate wacked out cruise ship club music… loaded with claps clap claps, vocoders, soaring synths and flute solos. Part II is a revision of the first chapter, with bigger breakdowns and even more epic synth solos : the bolder more chugging sequel. After touring with Klaxons, Cut Copy and Midnight Juggernauts this year the band managed to lose two members in their travels, so “Destination” also sees the band slimline down the current two-person format. ‘Destination’ is hitting your shores this southern-hemisphere summer !

Magic Arm is a 21st century one man band, a sonically curious soul who fuses folk, rock and effervescent electronics. Samuel Beam of Iron & Wine has hailed him "the master of the loop pedal" and in this lies the secret of Magic Arm's enthralling live performances. When Magic Arm plays live, he feeds his mic, guitar and keyboard through the aforementioned pedal. To build up his songs, he then has to play different parts from each instrument, through the pedal, sampling and looping the fragments as he goes, in order to weave together the constituent parts of his songs. “Buying a Yamaha CS-10 in Cash Converter was the biggest influence on my sound” he says, before talking about his intense love of Gwen Stefani, Peaches and Dizzie Rascal. “ I’m literally trying to write pop music, but it never comes out that way. There’s always a dark edge to it.” 'Daft Punk Is Playing At My House' is taken from the forthcoming Bootsy Bootsy EP, released February 23rd on Switchflicker/Peacefrog. The debut album Do Lists, Do Something is due for release in May.

Cazals a été signé par le label français Kitsuné, qui a déjà collaboré avec Digitalism, Simian Mobile Disco, Crystal Castles et autres précurseurs. “Ils ont écouté notre titre “Poor Innocent Boys” et l’ont inclu dans la compilation Maison 2, souligne Daniel. ”Ils nous ont appelés pour nous demander sur quel label nous étions signés.

Illusions

Brooklyn's Heloise & The Savoir Faire managed to ruffle a few feathers with their electro-erotic aesthetic in 2008, being adopted by a thriving underground disco scene emerging across the UK and beyond. Their new single 'Illusions', out February 2nd on limited edition CD & download, mixes funky bass, bongos and a pumping beat for classic H&TSF sounds. It's been given the remix treatment by top names including Filthy Dukes, James Pants and Modus Vivendi. 'Illusions' is taken from their debut album Trash, Rats and Microphones out now which also features icon Debbie Harry on guest vocals. Filthy Dukes (Fiction Records) are the team behind London's Kill Em All club night, established and running for five years now and featuring big name guests including Bloc Party, Crystal Castle, James Murphy, Chemical Brothers and Simian Mobile Disco. Previous remixes have included While Lies, Late Of The Pier, The Macabees.

Fare Soldi

Dynamic dance duo Fare Soldi are back with their third record, “Sappiamo Dove Abiti” (which in italian means “we know where you live”), a big explosion of grooves and rhythms and nonsense feelings. Produced by Riotmaker Records, Fare Soldi new album travels between different decades of music and mix together stuff that social responsability and common wiseness should avoid to combine. So beware of threatening dance experiments as “Il vecchio e il mullet”, mixing AOR with electro, “Puff Dandy”, sounding like the Rolling Stones jamming on a beach in Ibiza in 1989, or the cover of the classic italo “Survivor”, bringed to new life by Fare Soldi. And don’t forget, they know where you live. And they know how to make you dance.

Get It Right

Y.A.S, c’est Mirwais et Yasmine : Mirwais Ahmadzaï et Yasmine Hamdan. Y.A.S, c’est également le premier projet électro qui place la langue arabe au coeur de la culture pop ! A l’origine du projet, on retrouve Mirwais, né en Afghanistan, et qui a déjà contribué à plusieurs duos : avec Daniel Darc (icône française de rock), Juliette (de Juliette et les indépendants), ainsi qu’avec Madonna ... Il est unique, il vient d’une autre planète. Leur premier single “Get It Right” est une pop song aux sonorités électro qui a pour but de faire danser dans les clubs, ceux-là même où Madonna règne en maîtresse. Un son hédoniste, fédérateur, joyeux, enivrant. Remixé par Felix Da Housecat, “Get It Right” se transforme en turbine électro overdrive mécanique, qui sans perdre son côté enivrant grâce aux synthés lancinants, gagne en efficacité. Le duo anglais Heartbreak donne une relecture soft disco, qui ré-utilise les basses et les vocoders originaux pour pousser le titre dans des retranchements 80’s synthétiques et tribaux. Un voyage sonique de 8 minutes qui n’est pas sans faire penser à certains remixes des belges d’Aeroplane. Street Date : 13.04.2009

Night is On Fire

New single from electro-pop/new wave uk outfit set for release 2nd March 2009. Formed out of a union born of hope and belief in one another, the 5 heads met through mothers and fathers, mixed up recordings, mutual friends, enemies and lovers. From this came a sound hungry for big stages, echoing elements of new wave romantics, lonely space travellers, love lost, ice cold pop and the thunder of a house falling down.

Promises

Olympic
"Promises"

Après s'être fait remarquer dans la blogosphère électro-pop ces derniers mois, l'énigmatique trio parisien Olympic continue de livrer ses chansons au compte-goutte. Le plaisir n'en est que meilleur puisqu'après un premier maxi 4 titres (distribution uniquement promotionnelle) oscillant entre Daft Punk, Weezer et Midnight Juggernauts, le groupe propose aujourd'hui un remix de choix de leur morceau "Promises". Signé d'un jeune américain du nom de Texas Secession (auteur notamment d'un remix de Franz Ferdinand), ce "Promises" nouvelle mouture prend des allures résolumment plus électro et séduit par ses nappes éthérées. A découvrir également, les compositions de Texas Secession sur sa page myspace.

Love Thy Self

Love Thy Self
with the Midfield General
and Lucky Jim.


And neither is it the Midfield General on some motivational crusade, suggesting that. Y’know, you need to love your self before you reach your inner champion type thing. The title actually comes from a song by the brilliant Lucky Jim, who Damian had signed to Skint back in 2003. Lucky Jim were something of a departure for Skint in that they are a bit kinda, folkie rockie, but singer Gordon Grahams amazing lyrics and melodies captivated. In a blatant incidence of Damian exploiting his position as their A&R man he tried out the vocals from Lucky Jims original Love Thy Self over his own backing track and it just worked a treat. And the new track became a firm favourite off his album General Disarray. This package contains two new mixes from Damian, the ‘Disco-ish Mix’ is a lush disco-tinged throbber while the 'Tinnitus Mix' is more of a jacking affair interspersed with some tinnitus inducing noise. The package also contains two fine remixes. Straight outta Dublin comes the Arveene & Misk Mix, an epic Spaghetti Western banger if ever such a thing existed. While Tronik Youth comes up with a house-ier mix with excellent quirky melodies, builds and drops.

Tracklist :
1. Midfield General - Love Thy Self (Midfield Generals Disco-ish Mix)
2. Midfield General - Love Thy Self (Midfield Generals Tinnitus Mix)
3. Midfield General - Love Thy Self (Arveene & Misk Remix)
4. Midfield General - Love Thy Self (Tronik Youth Self Abuse Mix)

Herve "Ghetto Bass"

Double CD
released
2nd February 2009
“A Mix Of Bassline Sounds, Electro, Drum & Bass, Dubstep And House”

29 year old producer Hervé is a man of many names. You may know him as one half of The Count and Sinden duo and their world beating ‘Beeper’ EP on Domino Records. Or perhaps you know him from one of his many aliases, like Action Man, Young Lovers, Dead Soul Brothers and Voodoo Chilli or his super-group Machines Don’t Care. You may also know him as a remixer nonpareil, re-jigging everyone from Bloc Party and The Chemical Brothers through to Mark Ronson, Roisin Murphy and New Young Pony Club. But it is this free-wheeling, all encompassing ethos that has made him one of the most exciting things to happen to dance-floors in some time his music is joyous, wide-ranging, multicultural and all-round damn good fun, it’s Ghetto Bass. It’s this attitude which is borne out by this magnificently diverse DJ mix, a mouth watering spread of 36 tracks over two CDs which doesn’t so much break down barriers, it blows them wide open. The machine-gun beats of SebastiAn’s remix of The Kills’ ‘Cheap and Cheerful’ sidles up next to the bonkers and madly infectious ‘Money’ by NASA (which corrals David Byrne, Seu Jorge and Ras Congo altogether), the dubstep smoulder of Skream’s 'Filth' sits comfortably with Buraka Som Sistema’s low-slung tropical funk, Mr Oizo’s dance-floor detonating 'Gay Dentist' cosies up to DJ Funk’s anthemic reworking of 'Let There Be Light' and Hervé’s many remixes are sprinkled liberally between the cream of the dance crop to produce a defiantly unique and marvellously varied sonic odyssey which gives weight to critics’ claims that he is “London’s hottest DJ” (Rolling Stone).

2009 will not only see Hervé release his debut mix compilation ‘Ghetto Bass’ but The Count & Sinden album will be released via Domino Records, the debut Hervé artist album drops later in the year and there is also a 2nd Machines Don’t Care album in the pipeline. Oh and did we mention his label Cheap Thrills that brought us (amongst others) the massive Fake BloodMars’ (also featured on this CD, as an exclusive Hervé Edit) Watch out for more from the label in 2009 including releases from Jack Beats, Detboi, Rico Tubbs and Zomby.

Ursula 1000

Ursula 1000 returns from journeys into outer space with an epic collection of psychedelic sonic sorcery. Zig-Zagging further away from the cheeky vintage breakbeat-rhumba of previous albums, the Brooklyn beat-wizard ventures into tougher and more angular territory : beats banging harder and bass popping louder. Drawing from a variety of new influences and collaborations, Ursula 1000 delivers lethal doses of dirty booty-breaks with tracks like “Rump” featuring MC Tee Double, gothic sexcapades with “I.C.O.M.E.” featuring sex-kitten vocalist Rochelle Vincente Von K, electro-dancehall with “Step Back” featuring Jamaican toaster Sista Widey, and disco-funk filth with “Star Machine” featuring jazz-breaks producer Mocean Worker. At once playful and dangerous, Mystics is a cry to the stars ! Here we present the first offering from Mystics. We give you Zombies, featuring the ferocious rhymes of Kojak ! This wicked tale of the undead is heightened by reworks via HiJack, who you may know from his insane fidget bangers on Potty Mouth and his own Jack Union label and by Dj Ayres from the world renowned party rockers The Rub ! Mystics is out worldwide February 24th on ESL Music.

The Prodigy - Omen

Omen is the first official single to be taken from The Prodigy's highly anticipated album Invaders Must Die. A white hot shot of pure pumped-up, punk rock Prodigy adrenaline beamed straight into the moshpit from rave central, Omen is everything you have ever wanted from The Prodigy condensed into three eardrum bothering minutes. The band put out a free download as a taster of what's to come. This was a huge success and was hailed as the Hottest record in the world by Zane Lowe (Radio 1). 'Invaders Must Die' (released 23rd February) is 40 minutes of having your head battered by future nostalgia, serotonin levels twisted by feel-good horrorcore and your synapses snapped by whiplash attitude. It's the sound of The Prodigy mixing up genres, contorting the past and rewiring the future, ram-raiding through the tranquility of music's status quo like a blot on the landscape of England's dreaming. Invaders Must Die is the unique sound of The Prodigy, still trespassing after all these years, walking the path they've created for themselves. And with that free party attitude still breaking and entering where other's can only dream of following. Street Date : 13.02.2009

AA 24/7

The fourth release on Phantasy Sound is the dramatic volley of drums, FX and MC Austin Boston that is 'AA 24/7'. A throwback to the early 1990s, it's electrifyingly catchy and the debut production from Dutch duo, Dance Area. Dirk Boogie and Mollono Van Bass hail from Utrect in Holland but 'AA 24/7' was born in the soon-to-be-no-more End nightclub in London where Austin works . "I met Austin in The End Club and recorded his rap on my iPhone," recalls Dirk of the chance meeting. "When I got back home I played it to Mollono, we went to the studio and 2 hours later we had the track. We handed it to Erol when he played our home town and then we signed with the label two days later."

'AA 24/7' has already been getting plays and support from the likes of Annie Mac, Soulwax, Boys Noize, Crookers and Diplo (who liked the track so much he's just remixed it). To support the release of their debut single Dance Area will soon be performing some exclusive DJ sets, that is of course, once they finish their studies in Holland. This is something you will not want to miss. 'AA 24/7' is out now on digital download exclusively on Beatport. The vinyl will be released on January 26th and will feature Skull Juice and Starkey remixes alongside the original and a cappella. The amazing Diplo remix will become available on the same day as a digital release only, on Beatport and iTunes. A remix from Noob is also available on download. I KNOW, RIGHT ? KILLER PACKAGE.

Lily Allen "The Fear" Remixes

It's Not Me, It's You is both a continuation of the preoccupations of Alright, Still, Lily Allen's critically acclaimed debut, and a stiletto-heeled leap forward.

Blender aptly summed it up as "part God, part country and all middle finger". Pop sensation. Voice of her generation. Fashion designer. Political activist. Mouthy blogshite. Queen of Myspace. Lily has been called all this and more ! Release date : 10.02.2009

The resulting Le Passion EP blows through an impressively large range of styles over the course of four tracks, covering smooth R&B, soul, slick hip-hop, and one cut from Kotchy that we'll file on the "experimental electronic" shelf. Love is, according to a recent post by Kotchy, the central theme on the release, tying the tracks together. A street date for the EP is still in the works. Since Kotchy is off to Europe to promote his debut album and Shunda is currently on the world's largest tour with Yo Majesty, it will be a bit of a wait before we see the pair performing Le Passion live. Get your dance on with this track in the meantime.

Claymore

Debut for young producers in the 2009 English Electro scene. United by as simple a question as “What is Electro ?”, they have spent the last two years creating dirty, cutting edge productions and taking over the London club scene. With an eye firmly on the dance floor, but also with effortless musicality not normally associated with techno, they’ve won over fans from the band/indie scene, as well as diehard clubbers. They inject tonality and musical flow into everything they touch, all under the banner of techno or electro or whatever you would like to call it, and have been compared to Justice, Soulwax, DIM and Popof. ‘Claymore’ delivers a tensed and breathtaking swoop with obsessive rhythms, while ‘Take Me Away’, with its strong rock energy and vocal hook, sets all the dancefloors on fire. Street Date : 02.02.2009 on Kitsune

Yuksek : Away from The Sea

Yuksek
"Away from The Sea"
26 Janvier 2009

Le secret de l'équilibre jubilatoire de ses morceaux si riches ? Il n'est pas seulement dû à son savoir-faire virtuose qui lui permet d'enregistrer en analogique ses lignes de basses et ses progressions harmoniques, et de trouver instantanément le moindre accord tordu qui lui passe par la tête, Mais, d'abord, à un tempérament très spontané : " Je compose de façon hyper instinctive ". Yuksek laisse ses morceaux se déployer à la façon de mini épopées, avec un art de l'effet retorse, de la montage russe sensorielle et du décrochage jouissif. " J'aime qu'il se passe toujours quelque chose dans un morceau ", concède-t-il avant d'hasarder : " Peut-être est-ce la peur du vide ? ".

01. Break Ya (03:30)

The Fear

Lily Allen vient de mettre en ligne son nouveau clip destiné à promouvoir le single The Fear. Une chanson qui nous donne un avant-goût du prochain album de la chanteuse londonienne. Cet album, programmé pour le 9 février 2009, porte le titre de It's Not Me, It's You. Si vous êtes fan de l'univers musical de Lily, sachez que l'album est en précommande auprès HMV.com, Play.com et Amazon.co.uk. L'artiste, de son vrai nom Lily Rose Beatrice Allen, se produira pour une série de 9 dates en Grande-Bretagne et en Irlande sans oublier la France. It's Not Me, It's You succède au tubesque Alright Still sorti en juillet 2006. Pour l'accompagner dans cette nouvelle aventure discographique, Lily s'est entourée de Mark Ronson, Robbie Williams, Jamie T et The Kaiser Chiefs. Résultat : 12 titres au ton un peu plus sombre que son précédent opus.

dDamage

Les deux parisiens sont donc de retour avec quatre nouveaux morceaux acid puissants. «JB Savage» est le son dancefloor déviant par excellence, une grenade sonore qui sonne comme une Atari Falcon, un «melting-pop» de furie French Touch, pas si loin de la «braindance» digitale d’un Mr Oizo, et des premiers hits electro-rap de Tuff Crew. Alors que «100% Hate», le morceau-titre, envoie des vagues successives de cuts sales et des envolées de synthé new wave, dDamage reçoit l’artiste français Vicnet (Deco) sur «Pull The 303 Plug», un banger techno acid mental sans concessions, remix d’un des singles de leur dernier album «Shimmy Shimmy Blade». Sans oublier leur reprise du celèbre «Drop Dem Britches» des infâmes Revolting Cocks.

Zombielicious

Voici Zombielicious, le nouvel album de Zombie Nation. Florian à propos de Zombielicious :
Toute la production incluant le mastering a été enregistrée aux studios Zombie à Munich. Le son me vient naturellement mais il y a plusieurs éléments épars qui entrent en jeu lorsque l'on crée une chanson. Je voudrais vous donner un aperçu de ce qui se passe dans mon studio et comment les choses émergent du cerveau d'un Zombie.

Worth It pt. 1 :

" ... C'est un vrai morceau funky, pas trop lourd, avec étrangement presque un côté deep ... Je l'adore. On est pendant l'été 2008, tout le monde lézarde au soleil. Assis dans mon studio en sous-sol uniquement relié au monde extérieur par une petite double fenêtre insonorisée, je travaille cette chanson en regardant passer les jambes des gens heureux qui se dirigent vers les terrasses du Biergarten1. La fenêtre est ouverte et parfois quelqu'un passe la tête. Je suis sûr qu'ils vont tous au Biergarten et que dans dix minutes ils seront en train de manger du rôti de porc, une grande bière fraîche à la main, discutant avec leurs amis en respirant l'air frais de l'été. Pourquoi je m'inflige ça ? Je ne sais pas. Ca en vaut la peine ? Oh que oui ! "

Omen

Omen is the first official single to be taken from The Prodigy's highly anticipated album Invaders Must Die. A white hot shot of pure pumped-up, punk rock Prodigy adrenaline beamed straight into the moshpit from rave central, Omen is everything you have ever wanted from The Prodigy condensed into three eardrum bothering minutes. 'Invaders Must Die' (released 23rd February) is 40 minutes of having your head battered by future nostalgia, serotonin levels twisted by feel-good horrorcore and your synapses snapped by whiplash attitude. It's the sound of The Prodigy mixing up genres, contorting the past and rewiring the future, ram-raiding through the tranquility of music's status quo like a blot on the landscape of England's dreaming. Release Date : 16 February 2009

Tracklist :
1. Omen (Edit)
2. Omen (Herve's End Of The World Remix) — Exclusive to iTunes
3. Omen (Noisia remix)
4. Omen (Extended)
5. Omen (Instrumental)

Chair de Poule

Jeune artiste montant de la scène électronique, Mr Sept n’est pourtant pas novice dans le milieu. Issu du milieu hip-hop, il mixe depuis l’âge de 15 ans et collectionne un nombre impressionnant de soirées en partenariat avec des pointures de la scène musicale actuelle. C’est donc avec aisance qu’il passe des soirées hip-hop aux soirées électro en alternant par des soul et funk parties, qui sont ses principales influences. Ainsi il a aussi bien mixé avec Boys Noize et Cut Killer, qu’avec Teki Latex de TTC, Strip Steve et Les Petits Pilous de Boys Noize Record ou bien encore Mr Flash du fameux label Ed Banger.

Washer

Né du grand cru 1984, Don Nola ne tarda pas à s’initier aux joies des platines dès l’âge de 15 ans. En parallèle, il découvre le graffiti qui le conduira à devenir graphiste de formation. Turnablist à ses heures, il ne tarde pas à délaisser la table de mixage pour l’ordinateur et les logiciels de production musicale. Six ans s’écoulent et Don Nola évolue dans différents styles musicaux, du hip-hop à l’électro, en passant par la house et la baltimore. Ses premières productions sont plutôt orientées vers les remixes puis il se met à composer ses premiers tracks, club et épicés à souhait. Don Nola commence à squatter les platines des clubs et partage l’affiche avec Kazey, StripSteve (BoysNoize Rec.), Leonard De Leonard, Tom Deluxx et Julien Milan. Début 2008, il apparaît sur la compile « Pirlz City Poyz Gang » de DJ Gero aux côtés de références comme Leonard de Leonard, Drixxxé ou Grems. Son premier Maxi « Washer » vient de sortir sur le label Playerz et se prépare à multiplier les sets dans divers clubs à Bordeaux et hors de ses frontières.

Breakin Party

Donovan are the relatively new french duo David Saïd and Nicolas Nekmouche and if this EP is anything to go by we reckon you’ll going to be hearing a lot more of them. ‘Breakin’ is a bumpin slice of electro-fied hip house featuring the slick lyrical flow of G. Rizo and a superb surging b-line, feel-good party music for the winter months ! As well as an instrumental mix of ‘Breakin’ we have two rather fine remixes for you as well, Charlie Fanclub fresh from his own Work It Baby EP injects some big room action with a penetrating synth-heavy throbber and Dinamics took the track to the next level of techno music, quality as we’ve come to expect from Work It Baby !

We Are Enfant Terrible

We Are Enfant Terrible est un trio Français crée par deux garçons et une fille en mai 2008. Leurs chansons ont un son électro clash mais ils jouent aussi de l'indie-rock et des chansons synth-pop, avec une touche de musique 8bit, jouées avec des guitares, une batterie et une vraie Nintendo Game Boy sur scène. Leurs paroles parlent de la façon dont les jeunes voient le monde aujourd'hui, comment ils arrivent intelligemment à mélanger la mode, l'internet et les jeux vidéos, à s'amuser tout le temps tout en étant conscient du monde qui les entour des sentiments profonds et du partage. En créant le buzz sur internet et Myspace, le groupe fait pour son premier concert, la première partie de Peaches et du label Delicious Vinyl (de Los Angeles), qui a déclaré "Tout est là. Les chansons sont uniques, bien écrites et bien jouées". Comparés à CSS, Goldfrapp, les Ting Tings ou à The Kills pour leur côté sexy, énergique et les bêtes de scène qu'ils sont, ils brouillent les pistes, entre le groupe de rock et la folie pop.

Tracklist :
1. Snap Dragon
2. I Can't Help Myself
3. Lobster Quadrille
4. Seagull
5. Eagles

Florian a commencé à jouer comme DJ au milieu des années 90 au cours de fêtes dans des hangars, raves illégales ou expositions d'art undergrounds qu'il organisait avec ses amis d'alors. A cette époque les acides remplaçaient la nourriture et les stroboscopes étaient un substitut à la lumière du soleil. Durant cette période, il se lance dans la production de ses propres morceaux et au printemps 1999, le premier maxi 5 titres de Zombie Nation sort sur Gigolo Records le label de DJ Hell. Street Date : 2009-03-09

Interview : Yuksek

1. Peux-tu nous parler de ton premier album qui sortira fin janvier 2009 ? Ainsi que des featurings qui seront présents dessus.
Je ne suis pas le mieux placé pour en parler ... t'en penses quoi toi ? Sérieusement tout ce que je peux dire c'est que c'est la première fois que je suis vraiment content d'un truc que je fais, et c'est déjà beaucoup. Il y a un morceau avec les Shit Disco, un avec Amanda Blank, un avec les Chromeo et bien sûr Clément de ALB (Klanguage) et les Bewitch Hands ... mais ce sont des gens qui ont écrit les morceaux avec moi ou qui chantent avec moi, je n'ai pas invité des gens à poser juste une voix sur un morceau fini, c'est un échange, un moment ensemble.

2. Comment se dérouleront les concerts que tu donneras à la suite de l’album ? Tous tes featurings seront présents ?
Dans un premier temps, je fais une petite tournée live seul (mais avec quelques surprises) en province en France, en Angleterre, aux Etats-Unis puis en Avril je fais la Cigale à Paris, les premiers festivals et une tournée internationale ensuite. Pour cette dernière partie, on travaille sur une nouvelle formule avec des invités mais rien n'est encore calé sachant que nos emplois du temps sont tous chargés et que c'est dur de réunir tout le monde ...

3. Un nouveau live (configuration scénique) pour un nouvel album ?
Je serais toujours seul, pas de batteur en vue, mais une évolution scénique et musicale bien sûr.

4. Tu as produit le nouvel album de Birdy Nam Nam, peux-tu nous parler de cette collaboration ? Des anecdotes ?
C'était très sympa, j'adore les mecs, on s'est très bien entendu et ça c'est fait très simplement, à la cool. Quoi dire de plus ? j'étais juste en retard de 2 heures tous les jours au studio, on finissait toujours la journée dans un état étrange ... Bref rien de bien original pour une production d'album, mais c'était un plaisir et on est très fier du résultat. L'album sort en ce moment je crois.

5. En parlant de production, est-ce une chose vers laquelle tu aimerais te tourner à l’avenir ? (Pour de jeunes artistes ?)
Cette année je produis l'album des Bewitch Hands et de ALB (les 2 meilleurs groupes de pop de France) et j'ai des demandes pour d'autres trucs ... j'aime bien faire ça, surtout quand ce n'est pas de l'électro.

6. Ton projet Klanguage, c’est définitivement fini ?
Non, surement pas ...

7. Qu’est-ce qui t’as inspiré pour ton clip Tonight ?
En fait on était parti sur une idée assez différente, un délire sur les mains (Take My Hand), un culte des mains mais le scénario initial était trop compliqué et trop cher à réaliser, donc on a gardé cette idée sectaire et j'avais surtout envie que la "Reims Academy" soit présente dans le clip, il y a les Shoes, les Bewitch, ALB et d'autres potes ... malheureusement Brodinski n'a pas pu être là.

8. Que penses-tu de la popularité de ce titre (qui passe même sur Fun Radio) ?
C'est cool, franchement ce n'était pas prévu et le morceau à priori n'est pas fait pour ça, mais tant mieux, je ne suis pas dans une posture à penser qu'il n'y a que des cons qui écoutent ce genre de radio, chacun son truc, et si ce morceau peut-être joué par les 2 Many DJ's et y passer je n'y vois rien à dire de spécial, même si pour ma part je n'écoute pas la radio du tout.

9. Outre la sortie de ton album fin janvier 2009, d'autres projets, niveau remixs ?
White Lies sur Polydor (Uk) et Autokratz sur Kitsuné (Fr).

10. Le mot de la fin …
Merci.
