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", [...]

Bonsoir, il est 02h21, j'écoute radio Nova ... c'est très bon ça... je viens de tomber sur Raphael Gualazzi , un jeune pianiste et chanteur italien qui affole le monde du jazz en ce moment avec son nouvel album « Reality and Fantasy » . Sa voix asexuée se mélange au jeu du piano ... cela nous donne un univers unique, digne de Nina Simone ou de Ray Charles modernisé. Le remix est de Gilles Peterson. Ce Dj franco-suisse , de la même trempe que Stéphane de Pompougnac, a realisé maintes compilations, a roulé [...]
One hundred, it turns out, is not a very big number. One or two worthwhile songs from the last decade, I admit, didn't get the chances they deserved to shine because I had a limit. Omissions were made, and for the following glaring ones, I sincerely apologize. The Grossly Overlooked - I just fucked up, okay? After [Read Full Post...]
By Dazzle KinkyI've been a huge fan of the Fantastic Plastic Machine since his self titled debut album was released in 1998, oh boy the times were consider simpler because for one, it was still the 90s in which a volcanic eruption of good music spew forth to the en masses and it was my generation that weeped the rewards.

Hi Boppers. To start off the week, I will bless you with some refreshing House Music. - First, we have a nice, long, repetitive dance tune by half-Daft's, Le Knight Club. Its a remix of the Japanese electronic producer Fantastic Plastic Machine. The great thing about this remix, as with most Le Knight Club production, is how warm and syncopated it is, yet packing a tight thumpy kick in the mix. Fun track for sure. Fantastic Plastic Machine - Philosophy (Le Knight [...]

The time has come! Summer is upon us, and for me, as a blogger, it can only mean one thing: Time for the annual summer mix! However, this year's will be quite different from the previous ones, hence its appearance here instead of the main blog. This time around, I made it with a clear theme in mind: To create a soundtrack for a fantastic summer getaway fantasy. Exotic locales, improbably blue skies, palm trees & white sands... steel drums. You name it all. Summer Getaway is a concoction of [...]

By Conan the DestroyhhherOur favorite Japanese Dj and producer Tomoyuki Tanaka becomes the most courteous person to have brunt on this CD as he takes you into room 702 where a huge party is happening on the dancefloor.This compilation from The Fantastic Plastic Machine is pretty much an ongoing series from Tanaka which delves into the crates of the now and takes it for a spin into electric

I was wondering if you've noticed something on our sidebar with strange synchronized dancing whilst telling you the time in a super uber cool way. No you haven't? Anything?......Oh well I may as well tell you. That is our UNIQLOCK, a Japanese designed widget which not only tell you the time, but it show brief video of female dancers (presumable a professional ballet troupe from Japan) doing

French Friday is back and it is indeed a mighty fine evening to re-launch the sucker. Le Knight Club is made up of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo & Eric Chedeville . Guy-Man is of course 1/2 of Daft Punk and Eric aka.
