over the past few months, lithuania’s mario basanov has been laying down some quality original and remix tracks, but nothing strikes quite like his remix of  kaine‘s love saves the day, featuring disco singer-songwriter kathy diamond (known best for her past work with aeroplane, toby tobias, etc). i hate comparing artists but i can’t help but contrast the production [...]

paying tribute to an iconic french house movement isn’t easy, no matter how late this post may come. an all glittery review was written out and ready to post months ago but unfortunately lost in a browser crash. lesson learnt, going to keep the posts shorter from here on in to put out more jammies. now [...]

in the battle of the best summertime jammiez of 2010, the uk sends its best men forward, (who if you don’t know by now be) tom hammond and ben macklin… aka cassette club. the reigning 80s throwback act roaming the sorrow streets of the post-era romantic synthpop revival. rickety moog basslines, stomping 4×4 beat, bright house pads, and [...]

a true van she fanboy myself, i’m delighted to spread the know of michael di francesco’s solo alias arithmatix – unknown to many feel good connoisseurs, and not broken-in just yet. michael, an anolog junkie at heart, seems to have proven himself as a just remixer so far. legend has it that michael’s true talent is [...]

still playing catch up, this is a necessary-must-super-gotta-post-it, even if i am the last guy in the blogosphere to write up about flight facilities, just in case any of you missed the flight (hurr!) on this deep, rockin, smooth sailin, badass, all aussie yacht groove outfit. smooth doesn’t cut it. suave can only compliment it. flight facilities [...]

yet again france has to go ahead and re-establish its grip on the indie dance scene. greedy, i say… almost not fair. nor is it fair to be completely crushed over a tune and find yourself easily falling to the merciless temptation of playing out a track until you’re totally sick of it… so far i’m on [...]

now i don’t often indulge my passionate prog-house likings here on the blog much, but this gem is a tune that cannot go unshared. if you have a tongue for feel good taste, you’ll understand why i deviate for the sake of your musical exploration, from everything posted before this. claes rosén, sweden’s internationally renowned [...]

introducing a new feature here on french express: ”sounds like.”  i don’t know how many times i’ll scour a blog i don’t trust yet to find a name or trigger word i like, especially the blogs with external links. can’t be arsed to download and check dat shhhiet only to delete it! it’s like the new [...]

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 [...]
