Hace más o menos un año, un proyecto de hit mundial irrumpió desde París. El tema era Better Than Prince ; el responsable, Flairs , proyecto en solitario del bajista Lionel Flairs. La canción lo tenía todo, hasta videoclip de los fantásticos Jonas & Françoise antes de hacerse famosos con D.A.N.C.E. de Justice y Good Life de Kanye West. Pero la suerte le fue esquiva a Flairs . Esta semana se editó, con la producción de Alex Gopher , su disco debut Sweat Symphony , que también tiene todo para triunfar. [...]
We've already expressed our love for Flairs and his alt-electroness. His debut album "Sweat Symphony" is out now, it's quite superb to be honest. It's an album which bands the like the "The Teenagers" & "Poney Poney" should be sounding like and probably wish they did. Funky bass-guitar driven melodies and naughty lyricism which is done in a way that doesn't sound contrived and done with the right amount of a sly wink. The Flairs album may not appeal to all at first but maybe after a few listens you will begin to appreciate a guy who is [...]

Where have I been in the past 3 days? I was switching internet providers & that was the amount of time it took them to activate my account - unsurprisingly, those 3 days accumulated 6 pages worth of good/spam emails for me to go through & pick from to post & here we are. But before that, remember FLAIRS one of my hype-crushes since Jan 08... the cockney speaking french one man band who while we were busy obsessing about the likes of MGMT & Empire Of The Sun .. he was slowly [...]
Whilst listening to the Soulwax mix ' Part Of The NYE Never Dies ', one track caught my attention really well. After figuring out it was 'Flairs - Truckers Delight' I searched hard on the myspace, first search I came across some dodgy rock band, second search... ding ding ding! I found them, or actually him, Mr. Lionel Flairs and what a tune maker he is. So cool he already has Jonas & Francois (of D.A.N.C.E fame) directing music videos for him. So worthy of your attention he is, check him out. Oh and he's straight outa Staines yo!!! [...]
Mixmag and Soulwax teamed up for their January issue on a little disc called "Part of NYE Never Dies." It's a 14 track retrospect of some of the biggest tunes that the 2ManyDJs have been playing, remixing or just enjoying throughout 2008. It includes tracks and remixes from Tiga , Late of the Pier , MGMT, The Chemical Brothers, Mr Oizo , Zombie Nation and more. Enough of the pleasantries. Let's talk about NYE (New Years Eve for you slowpokes reading this) for a bit. Maybe I'm alone here, but I [...]
I've known that Part of The Weekend Never Dies for some time now. I've also learned that Part of the (insert random Hipster Runoff gimmick in here) never dies. Now Soulwax wants me to believe that Part of NYE Never Dies, which I guess has some truth in it. Especially if you're lucky enough to celebrate NYE with Soulwax, which places you somewhere around the UK this year. To be honest I always end up being a bit disappointed by NYE, but I guess that's because I've never celebrated it with 2 Many DJs pumping on the stereo. [...]

This video for Flairs "Better Than Prince" may look familiar to you. No, not ringing any bells? Well, it is the same artists who brought us the Aha rewind of Chromeo's "Momma's Boy". Enjoy! FLAIRS "Better Than Prince" by JONAS & FRANCOIS. Uploaded by ThirdSideRecords
Jonas & Francois , best known for last year's stunning "D.A.N.C.E." video, among others, lend their animation skills to bass heavy French electro-funk outfit Flairs . Handmade, using 3,000 sheets of paper, a simple printer-computer and scanner trio, and seven black ink pencils, the beautiful black and white video for Flairs' "Better Than Prince" suits the track "like the best wedding possible." Watch out A-ha , er, um, and you too Prince. [MP3]: Flairs "Truckers Delight" Better Than Prince, Roxour; [...]

Neljapäevad on ikka eriti kurnavad viimasel ajal. No mida sa teed, kui Kloostri Aidas on Romb, Tammsaare pargis Ans. Andur ja kuskil veel üks disko ka. Ei midagi erilist, võtad paar pudelit Kosmost ja vaatad, mis saab. Juhuslikkus päästab maailma. David Shrigley - What I Ate Flairs - The Non PC Song Boris Badenough - Hey Rocky [...]
Well...not really but give Flairs some credit for making this awesome track. If you haven't seen the Dave Chapelle skit about Prince, you should because no matter what Flairs says about prince, that sexy muthafucka can play ball. Ok, I'm not gonna say much more about Prince because we all know him and his purple ass-less chaps. I am gonna talk about Flairs though, because for a delusional frenchie, he does make some great music. I wish it was 2004 right now because I would have really been into this right now. Making that kinda Dancey music with [...]
Ranking Mr. Lionel Flairs somewhere in the top 3 positions of my favorite new artists list is not only based on originality, my love for the sound of bass, & the fact that 'Better Than Prince' & 'Truckers Delight' rawks... I'm sure about it because i was priviligded to be one of the few lucky people who got to listen to the flairs album months ago & i assure you when it out you'll be able to experience a live gig sound blended with electropop right through your speakers . I'm really proud of [...]

Altbekannte und neue, heiss erwartete Bands und Künstler werden im Frühling mit neuen Platten ihre Aufwartung machen. Ein kleiner Überblick mit Hörproben. (more...)
On continue dans la série "qu'est-ce qui prend la poussière dans les cartons de MisterBlog" avec encore quelques titres oubliés du début de la décennie. Week-end oblige la sélection est un peu plus remuante que la précédente. APC "My body can't ignore the beat" C'est sorti en 2001-2002 mais uniquement vendu dans les magasins de fringues du même nom (rien à voir avec A Perfect Circle pour ceux qui se posaient la question) et à la réécoute on s'étonne de ne pas avoir plus souvent dansé dessus. Une vraie petite [...]
lionel flairs, der jetsetter zwischen soho und paris, nennt sich auf solopfaden flairs , welch überraschung. als kongenialer partner allerdings hat er sich schon größen wie alex gopher oder benjamin diamond angedient. demnächst kommt seine mit dem bedeutungschwangeren namen flairs betitelte ep raus. diese hat er gemeinsam mit der filterhouse revival kapelle von etienne de crecy produziert, man darf dementsprechend auf spätneunziger exzellenz hoffen. anyway, der track truckers delight wurde vorab schon auf discodust , discobelle , bibabidi und wie sie nicht alle heissen mögen [...]
In to my inbox floats a new couple of tracks by Englishman Lionel Flairs (sweet name), he has played bass with pretty much every musician in France. The posted track is a little discofied electro burner which is rather cool, but much cooler is the A-Side to the single 'Better Than Prince" (unfortunately we arent allowed to post it) so you'll have to hit up his myspace and check it out. A bravado'd up, bass heavy bomb. I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more from them. [...]
Flairs is the solo projects from the ultimate bass player who played with at least a dozen reputed bands & artists, Anyhow for his new music outfit he got Alavi, Etienne De Crecy, 25 Hours A Day, Cosmo Vitelli, Bogus, Alex Gopher, & Benjamin Theves all involved & It doesn't stop there.. Guess who's directing the video?? Non other than the Mtv award winners behind Justice's 'D.A.N.C.E' & Kanye's 'Good Life', Jonas & Francois who have been working in the past months on a 2500 hand drawn black & white frames of the psychedelic Walt Disney on acid video for [...]
