The awaited album from Joypopp named "Addictions" that we wrote about back in September, will be released tomorrow. As we also wrote back then was that Joypopp consist of the singer Alix and the producer Daroc. Before that post was written no one knew that it was Daroc who was behind Joypopp. We also told you that Alix works as a doctor and that the album is going to be an album to remember. We also posted the first single and an instrumental version of "Vanity" and now we got a nice gift from Joypopp, we [...]

Dear readers, today we come with the awesomely good news that Joypopp is back and they're here to give you an album. The album is named "Addictions" and it will be released on Metrophon either October 15 or October 22. We will let you know when it gets closer. For you who know the story of Joypopp and have had the great opportunity to be with them since their first fine track "Six to Six" from late 2009. You people also know that they started out their career with only one P in Joypopp and [...]
Posted in French Series J'aime beaucoup cette chanson / Fine Music Selection & Homemade Mixes. Soyons honnêtes (et un poil vulgaire) : la mort d'Eric Charden le 29 avril dernier m'en a touché l'une sans faire bouger l'autre, et les nombreux hommages des habituels brontosaures de la variété française ne m'ont absolument pas incité à réviser mon jugement sur le cas Charden. De [...]
Daroc is like busses, you wait ages for new tracks then loads come at once. Luckily we can never get our fill of new Daroc tracks, especially tracks like his latest drop. In tribute to French singer, songwriter and composer Éric Charden, who passed away earlier this year. The track is a cover of ‘La Bataille d'Albator’, Charden’s theme tune to the Captain Harlock animé series (known as ‘Albator’ in France, and a favourite of Daroc’s as a kid) and is instantly recognisable from that riff. Daroc is the perfect artist to keep the Sci-Fi feel in [...]

Éric Charden was a famous French singer and songwriter who passed away last week. Our fine friend Daroc made a cover to show his respect to a great music mind. The original Charden track was the theme to one of Daroc's favourite cartoons "Albator" as a kid. So this cover is kind of a nostalgic homage for him to Éric Charden. I really like what Daroc has done in this cover. RIP Éric Charden. ( Here you can actually hear the original track back from 1979)

Daroc hit us up with a new piece of fine sounds. This one is a bit more sad than usual but it's also a beautiful piece of wonder. The track is taken from Daroc's upcoming album "Additional Wonders" released on Metrophon in only a few days, May 7 to be more precise. Wonder (by Daroc) by daroc

One of France’s best kept SynthWave secrets Daroc is proving that after his long absence his recent ‘Destination’ EP wasn’t a one off. he is back for good and gearing up for another brand new release. ‘Additional Wonders’. Taken from that record is ‘Wonder’, I’m guessing the lead track, and is truly beautiful. Transcending Disco or SynthWave, even ElectroPop, it’s distant, passionate, vocals hovers ethereally over otherworldly melodic synthwork. This is no dancefloor banger, this is Dreamwave for the mind. transporting the listener to distant planets of sound with cosmic pads and almost baroque keys and [...]

It was way too long along we wrote about Daroc . The talented Frenchman with a passion for the 70s and 80s movie sounds, and of course he's also gazing towards master Moroder. And Daroc is one of the producers that makes it so good. His music is well crafted and it has all these layers of details and harmonies. There are a lot of producers out there that want to make music as good as Moroder did and few succeeds, Daroc is one of the exceptions, because he does it so truly but yet also into his own [...]

Ecoutez le dernier et excellent EP de Daroc ! Et un remix de la track California par Phantom Planet P.

Something in the slow synth area by Daroc with his new Destination EP . The EP opens with Initial , which does the big Blade Runner synths but then mutates into something which has a bit of Visage's Fade To Grey about it. Psychodio is, despite the title, a bit more laid back. Escale is even more horizontal and panoramic. Sea Steria ends the orginals and is the most generic and disposable. Remixes include one by Lord John Fonda (who he), who gives Sea Steria a [...]
Awesome video from French producer Daroc for his single "Psychodio", which belongs to his latest LP "Destination". I don't know how we miss this LP, because sounds really great. Definitely we will follow his future releases. Enjoy..!
Yesterday we introduced you to Daroc ’s amazing return in the form of his new EP . Today, check out the awesome video for ‘Psychodio’ directed by Alden Volney, it’s retrofuturetastic! Daroc’s ‘Destination’ EP is out now. Buy Daroc’s music from: [...]

Daroc is back! It’s been a while since we heard anything from the French SynthWave producer and even longer singe we wrote about him (years in fact). But he’s just dropped a brand new EP, and it was worth the wait. From the opening BladeRunner synth sweeps of ‘Initial’, the first track, you know you’re in for a full on Sci-Fi synth experience. The track soon kicks into a Post-Italo Electro masterpiece, driven along by an appreciated bassline the track layers neon soaked electronics and haunting melodies thick and leads into ‘Paychodio’, a track that exists at [...]
Daroc is name you might not be familiar with. But after reading this you soon will be. It's the guise of a unnamed Parisian producer, who can already call Kavinksy and Gaspard Auge fans of his work. He quotes everything from Moroder to Pink Floyd as inspirations. His 'Destination' EP is quite unlike anything we've heard before. It starts with an electrifying opening, but from then on it dies a slow death like a ketno addict. It's not a criticism (sure sounds like one), but it just mirrors the cycle of life a bit too much. Basically it's [...]

Daroc is a producer from Paris, France who can include the likes of Kavinsky and Gaspard Augé as fans of his work. It also should give you a hint about the area of sound he inhabits. He's just released the ' Destination ' EP on Metrophon . It's electronic music obviously influenced by likes of Giorgio Moroder and Vangelis. Lots of focus on playful melodies, it's a really enjoyable listen. Check the video for Psychodio below... Pick up the EP on Amazon . [...]
