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 [...]

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 [...]

can’t say I know too much about sievert. but after hearing be pleasant, I feel like I should! I had to track the tune down from him over myspazz, and finally after enough harrassment, he handed me a full & unsigned copy in good spirit. enjoy this very catchy, a bit repetitive, but tres tasty [...]

a technicolored skunk meets a disco trained monk, that’s peppe le funk. paul nichol & ridney (pictured above) started the project around 2005, made a couple of successful tracks on limited vinyl runs, and then split into individual paths.
ridney bumped into jaymo & andy george on a recent ibiza escapade, and passed them a copy [...]

Swivel Hips is Tony Saputo (part of Lost Daze) from Boston, Massachusetts.
This track has a very unique sound for his label’s catalogue. Whereas a lot of the earlier stuff had a more underground feel, “Casual Encounters” is super upbeat and bouncy.
These jackin beats and great filters with really cool vocal samples will get da party [...]

I discovered allen today in my fakebeat inbox asking to remix soup for one. from that I was able to check out his tune ‘funk.’ allen walker is 19 year old egyptian filter funk lover producing out of austria, and producing with reason 2.5 (look at that). where I’m from the usual 19 year old prefers [...]

phonat (or as his mother knows him, michele balduzzi) is a 21 year old italian producer/sampler extraordinaire. he has recently been gaining incredible momentum worldwide. already touting more than one track on hed kandi’s nu disco compilation and loads of radio 1 airplay, it’s safe to say we will be seeing big things from michele. [...]

thanks aleks@discodust! this tune way funky, tried and true to french house. knightlife’s production is super clean and polished as well. french express stamp of approval!! for some reason it’s not hard to get lost in this robotic disco cut.

all this time I didn’t know batman was actually closer to me than i thought. i just discovered him hiding in my friendslist. no, not gotham city’s guardian. italian funkster ‘le batman‘.
i’m not sure where he was keeping this bomb, but i dont intend to keep it hidden much longer. when I heard the track [...]

coming way out of dublin, ireland is the spankin duo known as hystereo, quickly gaining popularity in the electro house scene. i’ve known these two for a while now (they were the ones who actually got me into fred falke & friends), and i’ve witnessed them transform their style from clean to monster. over time [...]

i don’t know if you’ve realized, but french house has been pretty much dormant for the past few years. whatever the reasons are, indie-house has been stealing the limelight, getting bigger and badder than its older and forgotten brother — disco/ french house. with all the trendy bass guitar twangs accompanied by a bombardment of [...]

I don’t think many of you have heard of thony ritz yet, but here’s an opportunity where you can. cause you will.
thony ritz resides in france and has been producing for a few years now, but just recently entered the ears of the public domain. debuting with ‘what i am’, he’s been building his name [...]

shit la merde!!! this is what came out of my fake french mouth, because this song makes me lose control. it took a few listens to really grow on me, but after a hearing kish mauve’s sweet vocals batting against fred falke’s wavy rhodes swirl around my head a few times — it’s kind of hard [...]
