summer is no where in sight for those of us north of the equator. but thanks to great folks like matt van schie and gloves for gifting us with a warm breeze of air from the down under. matt van schie, not to be confused with michael van she aka michael di francesco aka arithmatix (identity [...]

hailing from the uk is miguel campbell. the authoritative voice of funk out in leeds, alongside production partner matt hughes. combined, they make mam. miguel is no stranger to solo production. he runs his own label (outcross records) and has a special something when it comes to legit disco edits and sampling! here are two tracks he [...]

instead of trying to tell you how awesome prick stick is, being rather short and sweet, and much of the quintessential french touch delicacy dipped in honeycombed funk, combined with shards of brass, slices of fender bass licks, milliseconds of motown-era teena marie, and all the other ingredients used to craft a masterful sandwich of [...]

some tasty space-laced disco treats for you today. grab your helmet as we introduce you to fm attack, the definitive strider in the space-italo-disco-future-music genre. listening to fm is like taking a trip back into the 80s and hearing the future as we once envisioned it. his italo and deep flavored chord choices are mostly due [...]

heard this remix played out live a few weeks ago and i was all over it. wasn’t able to find the track until last week, by random chance, thanks to youtube! the bloody sisters are the darkling duo thierry & marc, based out of paris. they put an interesting spin on royksopp’s this must be [...]

just sayin!! make sure to check the two guys at the end.. theyre killin it!! thanks angie

a personal favorite, and a slammin new discovery for indie/french dance/white jeans/yacht house scene, comes christian castbjerg, better known as eumig & chinon. think of siriusmo on crack, dcup on speed, and justice on uppers. the end result is eumig & chinon. although there are a million fellaz out there snapping faux bass to crunchy [...]

if there ever were a token french express song, pretty sure this would be it. fierce city (aka 25 year old chilean cristian delvalle) captures the spirit of french funk with the groovy, spattered with rhodes la musique fantastique.

cristian says he taps his inspiration from all the french touch legends [...]

still not tired of producing, and with over a handful of remixes and singles released just this year, i think its safe to say fred falke makes it look easy. remixing is a form of recreation, an art of re-envisioning the artist’s original feelings.  to say the least, fred works this music go music remix in an [...]

plastiscines (aka all-female french indie pop over-the-top flower power rock band) give us a nylon dressed single, barcelona. signed to nylon records in 2009, plastiscines released a 3 track ep, one of them being barcelona. luckily for me i found this lifelike remix sleeping in my inbox.

catcomplex, a fairly new find, is a producer from barcelona, bringin the goods with his tune ‘love gemma’

lined with threads of dreamwave, french house, and a touch of trance, ‘love gemma’ brings out all the spacey emotions you would expect from a star-painted title image like pictured above. make sure [...]

remember that tune from a year ago, nightdrive with you? the tune remixed more than visitor’s los feeling? i would usually shun another remix of anoraak’s prized possession which shot him to international blog stardom, but i just can’t say no to a tesla boy remix.

the tesla boys (yup, [...]

if you haven’t noticed by now, there’s been a disco/funk revolution goin on this year. one of the most consistent groups leading the pack is crazy penis aka the more politically correct “crazy p,” who have been in the game for about 14 years now. starting out with only two people who met at university, [...]

falling into the hands of hype today, i finally checked out neon indian. i’ve got to admit, i wasn’t instantly sold. something about the band’s complexion threw me off. at first impression, the production’s self-possessed aura gave off enigmatic and confusing vibes. but then somehow, as i kept listening, i realized it also possesses a mysterious gravity [...]

clocked at 100 beats per minute is hemingway’s remix of “ar-ies,” by keenhouse. out of all the remixes this track was bundled with, this remix stood out the most for me. he charmingly serves the original a glass of crown on the rocks by means of a full-fledged yacht funk reinvention. this one is a [...]

irresistible electro-fueled indie-pop ensemble miami horror give us ’sometimes’ – a teaser off their upcoming album ‘illumination’, which is due early 2010. this is a mighty taste test which leaves my mouth watering for more. as if a track wasn’t enough, offered with the mp3 is a day-dreamy music video sure to enrich the listening experience.

i still can’t believe private have been kept private from me all this time. the danish trio equals songwriter/singer/producer thomas troelsen, guitarist asger tarpgaard, and vocalist tanja simonsen.
‘my secret lover’ was released back in ‘07 off of universal denmark, and without delay climbed to the very peak of the danish charts. this jam may be [...]

marchand. french for merchant, or dutch for maarten hoogstraten. maarten (who is also half of bingo players) created the alias to vent some french-electro sounding frustration on the dancefloor. throw lifelike in blender with alan braxe, you get marchand.
’supernova’ sweeps off with the usual palette of sounds in the french-electro suitcase, but uniquely builds into [...]
