Fenech-Soler I can't remember how it happened but a few months ago I stumbled into Fenech Soler and popped them in my "bands to look at later" folder. Fortunately, I did look at them later and was mightily impressed. I got in touch with Ben Duffy from the band who kindly agreed to answer a few questions. First though Ben has sent dark electro track "Black Keys" for you to download and their soon-to-be-single "The Cult of Romance" to preview. Ben also tells me there's a remix of "The Cult of Romance" in the [...]

It's impossible to discuss house music in the early 2000s without mentioning Alan Braxe . If you were high on E in a sweaty basement back in the day, you will know all his tunes. Even now, Stardust's "The Music Feels Better With You" is a club staple, even classic. Braxe, born Alain Queme, hails from Brax, a region in the southwest of France. And note, "Braxe" is pronounced like "ax." [...]

Vi beklager at FFT'en har været en kende forsinket denne gang, men vi håber at musikken kan opveje det. Denne gang har vi bl.a. inkluderet et dejligt Kelis-remix, godt forplejet af Fred Falkes typiske synth-flade. Derudover er der nyt fra The Count and Sinden , der sammen med Rye Rye (som I også kan læse en lille sød artikel om, i det seneste Soundvenue-magasin) har lavet en ægte baltimore-klassiker. Album-aktuelle Kings of Leon , har været igennem GRUM 's remixmaskine, hvilket der er kommet et ondt stykke arbejde ud af. [...]

We've ignored Phrenzy for quite a while now and I really have no idea why. Maybe it's unconscious aversion against the name or something. But now is the time I make up for the mistake and praise the tracks he's been working on. He's from the US and I don't know a lot about him but he's definetly up to some tasty stuff. The tracks below are a Van She remix (yeah, again), a rework of Late of the Pier 's super-heavy Focker and the newest piece is a Valerie-esque romantic-disco take [...]

We totally felt like death in sneakers on Tuesday night, so sorry if these shots came out terribly and how we were only there for like, 2 seconds. We had fun while we were there for sure. Alia and Leah are excellent hosts and excellent human beings. (mp3) Van She - Kelly (Alan Braxe & Fred Falke remix) Godspeed!

Aussie dance music will be dominating this post as HOLY FUCKAMOLEY, the quailty of the songs makes me wet. Unfortuantely and with much sadness and regret, today, I've had to replace the wheels on my swivel chair. After being molested repeatedly by my horrific swivel dancing and enthusiastic head bopping to these next few tracks, they have worn down to nothing. To my little ones, we've been through alot together and may you rest in peace. Luckily, new ones are only $ 13.95 for FOUR!! What a bargin........................ .now for sexy tracks! [...]

As far as I'm concerned, when it comes to French producers Alan Braxe is my favourite. Yes Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and even you Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay you come second and third on my list. Your flashy light shows and expensive LPs are just fine and dandy, but you'll never gets me as excited as Alain Quême track or remix. I don't know what it is. Daft Punk produces some very perfect and simple dance music that everyone will like no matter what their current [...]

Too many posts about them now. We'll get on the bandwagon in the next wave haha. Blonde beauties from the North. Perfect examples of gender problems dating back several hundred years: at least until the first Italian and English sonnets. The Other idealized until a point that it's not really an other anymore cause it dissolves into nothing. There's an interesting ambiguity concerning this image: it is as humiliating for women as it is graceful. Okay, enough of the feminist 20th-21st century bullshit. Who's Annie ? She's a Norwegian pop diva born by the name: Anne Lilia Berge [...]
Agosto sta quasi finendo e son ormai 5 giorni che non scrivo da queste parti. È arrivato il momento di lasciarvi qualcosina, giusto un paio di segnalazioni.. traccie su cui sono praticamente inciampato durante le mie solite mille mila ore di navigazione sul web. The Deer Tracks Interessante duo svedese questi The Deer Tracks . Pop elettronico. Non male. La traccia che vi propongo nei primi secondi inganna: sembra quasi una roba alla Boards of Canada , ma non è [...]

lastnightsparty I'm back! Okay, I never really left, but I've been setting up my next blogmix for this month as well as writing a 'real' article for the blog. You know, one longer than a paragraph. First is from the one and only, Phrenzy and his remix of Late of the Pier 's Focker . A bit clubbier than what we're used to, but it's all good. Second track I saw on Hype and couldn't resist posting it, the Alan Braxe remix [...]
(image via PGR ) Roma si sta ripopolando. Cosa ci offrirà la serata? Stasera non abbiamo programmi. Si parte all'avventura, che tanto qualcosa di buono si riesce sempre ad inventarlo. Quasi sempre. Però serve la base musicale giusta. Quindi, "solito" giretto per blog. Ed ecco il risultato. Enjoy Shakedown - At Night (Alan Braxe Remix) [mp3] (via WavesAtNight ) The Faint - The Geeks Were [...]

I come bearing great news... He brought you arguably the best house track "Intro" (with Falke of course). His first release on Roulé (French house label set up by Thomas Bangalter , one half of Daft Punk and managed by Gildas Loaëc ) was "Vertigo" - a very tight tight tightttt french-house release. "Music Sounds Better With You" (also on Roulé) - dare I say more??? (he was in 'Stardust', the one time project with Thomas and vocalist Benjamin Diamond that did this amazing one-time [...]

Primavera part 1 here for all those latecomers out there. Saturday at Primavera was all about the drummers and then the beats. First waking up on a random sofa of our new Catalunyan buddy after going to bed at like 7am, Marc and miserably gathering some energy together before heading back to the forum. First up was Scout Niblett who just blew me away in the sleepy surroundings of the auditorium. Basically, a plush theatre totally at odds with the Spanish car park chic of the rest of the festival. Sam fucked off to [...]
