When it gets to the stage where your life has become engulfed by music then you know your rolling high. Things have, without question, started to kick of here (OZ) for summer. The weather (global warming permitted ) is sorting it's shit out, people are buzzing and music festivals, club nights, bars and pubs are firing. These may be just some of the reasons for our lack of recent posts or could it just be that our hangovers are to unbearable to even go near the keys? If I was to write a post now regarding every [...]
Of all the voguish Parisians that make up Ed Banger Records, Mehdi's always stood out as the stray artist. Unlike the gnarled, grungy distortion of SebastiAn and Justice, Mehdi's style can rarely be pigeonholed. Alot of SebastiAn and Justice tunes sound much the same. Mehdi's originality fuses hip-hop, electro and a variety of old school sounds. Ed Banger's fall from grace has been down to a gradual decline in quality of productions. For example, take their annual compilation series. The [...]
Joakim & The Disco es el nombre que se pone Joakim cuando presenta su Live Act, la onda es que hace poco aparecio un track con este nombre, indicando que posiblemente se encuentre trabajando en un nuevo material con toda su banda, que, a juzgar por este teaser, estara en llamas. Este track tiene un sonido disco como de serie de TV de finales de los 70's. Increible, se presta para mover el esqueleto como pocas canciones que he escuchado ultimamente... Joakim & The Disco- Love & Romance & A Special Person [...]
Love me some Poni Hoax . Add in some Principles Of Geometry and it's a delightful Tiger Sushi fiesta! Principles Of Geometry - Prophet (Poni Hoax Remix) PONI HOAX
If you're familiar with the Ed Banger Records Vol. III you'll probabaly be familiar with Dj Mehdi's contribution, Pocket Piano. A mellow affair with a piano riff that sounds like it fits somewhere between a 70's Miami cop film and a massive realisation of some kind. But anything it didn't seem to have, one of it's many remixes probabaly will do, with Brodinski, Chewy Chocolate Cookies and Joakim all trying their hand at it each one seems to give something a little different. [...]
Igor en parlais il n'y a pas si longtemp voici enfin le Hear Me de Drop The Lime accompagné de quelques friandises qui régalerons vos oreilles jusqu'à la prochaine fournée. Drop the Lime - Hear Me (Ac Slater Remix) ( ZShare ) Tommy Sparks - I'm A Rope (Yuksek Remix) ( ZShare ) Sebastien Tellier - Kilometer (MOULiNEX Remix) ( ZShare ) DJ Mehdi - Pocket Piano (Joakim Remix) ( ZShare )
Why wasn't this on Joakim's Best Remixes cd? :( Poni Hoax - Hypercommunication (Joakim S Cartoon Muscles Remix)
Every once in a while in remix land, a DJ outdoes himself. Ed Banger 's DJ Medhi provided the interesting--to say the least--canvas for remixers to work called "Pocket Piano." I'm at a loss to place Medhi in Ed Banger's history. Not quite the hard-rock, mind-trip feel of Justice or Sebastien, part classical, part rap, just a little bit of everything; this song seems to line up accordingly with the Mickey Moonlight direction. Joakim 's remix clocks in at [...]
Après tant de temps sans rien à se mettre sous la dent et son dernier maxi "Lucky Girl" qui remonte maintenant à 2007, DJ Mehdi nous revient enfin avec un nouveau maxi, "Tunisia Bambaata". Dessus sera présent, "Pocket Piano" que vous avez pu entendre sur la compil' "Ed Rec Vol. III", un remix (pour moi le meilleur de cette track) de Joakim, un de Brodinski (beaucoup moins bien à mon gout) et une track exclusive nommée "Tunisia Bambaata". L'artwork sera encore une fois signé des petites mains de So_Me et sortira sous Ed Banger Records (normal me direz-vous). Dernière [...]
ok so usually i like to celebrate a friday with songs of the dancey variety, but seeing as though this has been one of the worst fridays on record i dont really feel like that. instead, i would like to celebrate the songs that somehow got me through this day. Kompis & Erlend Oye - All Ears (Erlend Oye = singer from kings of convenience ) Joakim - Drumtrax (if your in Sydney tonight go to Civic and dance with Joakim) Chaz Jankel - [...]

Beautiful Balloon - Lead By Example Beautiful Balloon - Cathode Carnival coming out of the UK, Beautiful Balloon is the newest 'it band' in this music world. actually i dont know if they are an 'it band' yet.. but they surely should be.. they've toured with metronomy , dead disco and herve and have [...]
Hey everyone. Tell me something interesting. I like hearing interesting stuff. Did you know owls are the only bird that can see the colour blue? Anyway, I'm going to keep using my weekend plans as post material, so cop a couple of Joakim tracks. He's playing at the Civic on Friday which I'm really keen for! Electro's favourite French Fry, Joakim has (obviously) been on the scene for yonks and is completely awesome. Check these out - the first is a remix by Tim Goldsworthy of DFA, which you clearly can't go past, and the second (thanks [...]
Joakim , one of the finest talents to hail from France is finally embarking on an Australian journey (in a matter of days). Classically trained, Joakim has also branched out and expressed love in other fields of music such as US&UK indie rock to jazz. He covers every angle and every part of the musical spectrum and I was lucky enough to get in touch with him...: WAN: Firstly, how did your musical adventure begin? JOAKIM: When I was 5 and my parents put me on a piano. [...]
Qu'on ne s'y méprenne pas : dix ans après, il reste quelques rescapés de la French Touch 1.0 (i.e. la house filtrée made in France de la fin des 1990s). Parmi ceux là, on retrouve Gilb'R ... Gilb'R est la moitié de Château Flight , duo français composé de Gilbert Cohen (alias Gilb'R donc) et Nicolas Chaix (alias I:Cube). Gilb'R découvre I:Cube en 1995 grâce à une démo et le fait signer sur son label, Versatile , sur lequel il sortira deux albums. [...]
Well, I just discovered a boat load of electro tracks that I love so I thought I'd share the wealth. No real rhyme or reason to them, you'll probably recognize most of the artists from other posts. It still amazes me sometimes how much music is out there on blogs and how much of it I haven't heard. There's definitely a core group of blogs that release songs that trickle down to other blogs. As a result, many have the same songs at the same time making it kind of monotonous. It definitely makes you wonder how free blogs are [...]

Hi everybody, je me permet dans un premier temps de vous détromper: Non, Gisele Bündchen n'a pas été élue présidente des États-Unis malgré ce que suggère la photo ci-dessus. c'est bel et bien Barack Obama qui a été choisi par les Américains et du coup Mc Cain n'a plus la frite (celle là elle est pour toi Ily). A grand poste, grandes responsabilités. C'est pour cela qu'Electrocorp vous propose aujourd'hui un post spécial qui vous présentera les problèmes et les menaces auxquels Barack Obama aura à faire face durant son mandat présidentiel. La première menace, et [...]
He's only gone & bloody done it : If you feel like having a celebratory jig, try one of these on for size: Grace Jones has a new record entitled 'Hurricane' on the shelves, it's her first long player in nearly 20 years. One of the remixes for lead single 'Williams Blood' was provided by Belgian disco duo Aeroplane . Their effort has been turned down by her record label, which is most odd as it contains many of the elements so desired by the modern raver: Obligatory open Hi Hat Hypnotic bassline [...]
Je vous gâte en ce moment, mais bon, j'en profite pour poster avant de ne plus rien avoir pour poster. Donc petit post sur les récentes sorties du moment, ça fait pas de mal et ça vous tiens au jus. Et je suis encore plus gentil puisque tout sera en 320 k. La première sortie dont je vais vous parler est sur le label Bordelaix, Boxon Records . En effet, ils ont sortit cette semaine un EP avec des tracks de Tom Deluxx remixé par différents artistes. Cet EP est marqué "Part. [...]
Happy Beggar's Night! Most undoubtedly you will be attending a house party as part of tonight's festivities. The looming and dooming economy has kept many people at home rather than at the clubs lately. Or at least "pre-partying" aka "saving-cash" aka "filling-the-flasks". But one thing that can make or break a house party is music. House Party Music Tips if you are the host of a party tonight: 1. Do not let the music stop. Ever. 2. Do not put an artist's entire album on from [...]
