Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana começou algo tardia mas foi repleta de boas apostas em termos de novidades musicais e também no regresso ao passado onde fui recuperar temas bastante bons de bandas igualmente boas. A abrir a semana de forma apaixonada e indie-criativa os britânicos Whales in Cubicles
A Alan Braxe habrá que agradecerle siempre el haber estado presente cuando se cocía todo aquello que terminó llamándose french touch, y también por haber sido uno de los autores de este temazo que le unió [....]
It's so mighty good to hear this again! Regarded as one of the few "Most Favoured Dance Tracks Of All Time" comes a well spirited and above, ABOVE average re-flip of Stardust's 'Music Sounds Better With You." Not that many bootlegs/re-re remixes were released years after one the most recognized house anthems first dropped (via [...]

It's so mighty good to hear this again! Regarded as one of the few "Most Favoured Dance Tracks Of All Time" comes a well spirited and above, ABOVE average re-flip of Stardust's ' Music Sounds Better With You ." Not that many bootlegs/re-re remixes were released years after one the most recognized house anthems first dropped (via Stardust's holy trinity of magic), but unlike those golden bootlegs of late Nineties and the official Roulé remixes (which I have on vinyl – WEY!), is a refreshing and respectful 2010 take on a blinder of an anthem. Well done [...]
I remember when Passion Pit released Manners back in '09, their sound was so interesting and sensational that you couldn't help but getting lost in that world of feel good. I'm not sure why Benjamin Diamonds latest single Little Scare reminds me of that but within 10 seconds of hearing that synth and bass line interaction and I was drifting off into good thoughts and positive vibes. All we have is a little scare We don't mind, and we don't care Remember, I thought you died [...]
All audio in this post is 192 kbps because I am a loser. When I saw that, in the two-and-a-half-year history of ilictronix, NO ONE had done a Benjamin Diamond post, I was appalled. Look at that. He's consumed in his awesomeness. After all, this is BENJAMIN DIAMOND . One-third of Stardust. Co-producer of Music Sounds Better With You . Vocalist of the "Oooh baby" that causes instant orgasms in any French House fan. And of course, the creator of "Little Scare", [...]
"New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights". - Hamilton Wright Mable. Nicolas Jaar - Time For Us Boogy Bytes Vol.5 Mixed by Seth Troxler (BPitch Control, 2010) Bjørn [...]
A little holiday gift for you! I hope you enjoy. I still love putting these mixes together. This is my first mix in a long while. My turntables were in storage for a year. Then after I set them back up, I had to work the rust off. I'm already excited to work on another one...so you might get a part 2 soon! Im here to please...so let me know in the comments if you want another one sooner than later. [...]
Hey Boppers. Some more jams to tide you over till Thanksgiving! Our first track has a familiar voice to many French House fanatics. The voice is from Stardust's hit single, Music Sounds Better With You. Benjamin Diamond. This is a particularly fantastic remix by another French master, Cosmo Vitelli. Enjoy all this funky bass and syncopation. Benjamin Diamond - Little Scare (Cosmo Vitelli Remix) - Going way back in thee day, we have an acid house track circa 1988. Featuring [...]

Artfeast dont les rides commencent légèrement à arriver font une fois de plus un hommage à la French Touch avec Dj Falcon & Benjamin Diamond à la date de leur anniversaire. Avec Thomas Bangalter des Daft Punk et Alan Braxe ils ont donnés de la sensualité à nos nuits sur les dancefloors, ils nous ont fait suer, sourire, aimer … Retrouvez les pour une soirée qu'on espère inoubliable sur un air de Music sounds better with you , So much love to give … C'est en [...]

Jupiter est un duo franco-anglais basé à Paris. C'est pourtant à Londres qu'ils se sont rencontrés, seuls sur un dancefloor vidé par un hit un peu trop rétro. Leur passion commune pour une époque teintée de strass et insouciance les pousse alors à composer ensemble une musique à mi chemin entre « Thank God It's Friday » et « Purple Rain ». Benjamin Diamond n'a pas choisit son nom par hasard. Tel les plus gros des diamants, Benjamin a lui aussi moultes facettes : songwriter, programmateur, arrangeur, multi-instrumentiste, directeur artistique de son label: DiamondTraxx... [...]
Stardust Supongo que mi gusto vale tanto como el de cualquiera, y que por estas fechas ya os empieza a aburrir tanta lista (ojo que la que viene por parte de NNZD... tela ). En fin para el que lo quiera, le deseo una feliz escucha: 2000: Benjamin Diamond - Little Scare mp3 Susurros 2001: Jori Hulkkonen - Whispers [...]
OK. I have to admit that I'm not fully sold on the whole 'This Is My..' nonsense, but 80Kidz are standing firm on it, so I will just ignore the fact that 'This Is My Works' may not be a good name for a remix album, but it will probably be a good one. It's out December 16th in Japan on KSR . No tracklisting yet, but it'll hopefully contain their new remixes of Metric & Fight Like Apes (very good) and their 'didn't meet the deadline' remix of Simian Mobile Disco. I also hope [...]
Finally, we have moved on to 1998. While I still stand by my saying that the year previous was the most important/awesome year for French House, this year saw the release of THE French House track as well as more releases from the undeniable master of the genre. Also came the first release of one of my favorite french house acts. -M [Roulé 305] Music Sounds Better With You - Stardust This [...]
If you saw Justice sometime in 2007, you will without a doubt have heard them play DatA's Minuit Jacuzzi remix. Two years later DatA finally got out his album (it's been out for a month really, i needed some time to decide whether i like it or not). So...... i like it a lot. I especially like the collaborations with Sebastien Grainger , they make a great team, but assuming you've already heard those by now, why not listen to the title track with the equally awesome Benjamin Diamond. DatA - [...]
Un bonne dose de Space Disco, des mélodies amples et cinématographiques, le tout cadencé de beats synthétiques et funky, voilà comment je décrirais " SKYWRITER " le 1er l'album de DatA . Dejà remarqué avec les titres "Morphosis", "Rapture" ou encore "On In A Million", David Guillon de son vrai nom, nous livre une version digitale et mordernisée d'un certain âge d'or du groove de la pop et du dancefloor. En écoute " So Much in Love ", track planant, qui a pris ça place dans ma playlist de jeudi prochain. On retrouve Benjamin Diamond à la [...]
It's no secret that I am an avid Francophile, and much in the way a pyromaniac is aroused by flames, I am aroused by the sound of French music in all its forms. One of my favourite French artists is Mr. Benjamin Cohen (aka Benjamin Diamond ), and I consider his body of work to be one of the biggest influences on my musical life. You may remember my review of Diamond 's Strange Attitude some time ago, If not, all you need to know is that Benjamin Diamond is [...]
Some jams just never get old, especially those that were produced in excess of a decade ago by artists still taking the world by storm today. Stardust , a Parisian trio comprised of famed producers Alan Braxe and Thomas Bangalter ( Daft Punk ), and pop-vocalist Benjamin Diamond forged themselves into one hit wonders in their own right. But Music Sounds Better with You wasn't just a catchy tune one hummed as they twiddled their thumb at the bus stop or screamed at the top of thier lungs while loaded on wine coolers with their girlfriends moments before [...]
A blast from the past with one of the most memorable tracks of the 90s. The year was 1998, Stardust the electronic house music band was formed and it consisted of Benjamin Diamond , Alan Braxe and Thomas Bangalther (One half of Daft Punk ). "Music Sounds Better With You" was the only track from project Stardust , and the 3 never collaborated again. They have become household names in the music industry after all these years but that [...]
