It was almost a year ago when I first caught wind of the French pop-star Yelle. The record label I was working for was promoting her new album "Safari Disco Club" and received hundreds of her albums and posters. I was immediately drawn to Yelle because she had a strong style resemblance to one of my favorite female rockers, Karen O. Upon first listen of her album I was sold. I do not speak French and did not understand a single word of what was going on, but I did know: it sounded happen, was impossible to not dance to, [...]
Tonight, Yelle will be taking over the Music Hall of Williamsburg with Housse De Racket in towe. According to the rave reviews we have been reading left and right, both French pop-duos rocked Webster Hall last night. Yelle is fronted and named by Yelle, nee Julie Budet, a sparky gamine with a deceptively demure schoolgirl voice. Joined by producers GrandMarnier (Jean-Francois Perrier) and Tepr (Tanguy Destable), Yelle first arrived amid a flurry of 802s inspired pop, with the likes of CSS and New Young Pony Club all revered for their take on brightly colored electro. Unfortunately tonight's show is sold [...]
French Disco wizard, and one third of Yelle, tEPr 's reMix of CSS current single 'City Grrrl' is a thing of pure awesomeness. I have a massive soft spot for CSS, back in 2007 they were killing it, but the do have a habit of getting a bit Rocky for me, so this mix which combines tEPr's Nu-Disco genius with Lovefoxxx's sassy delivery and catchy song seems pretty perfect. tEPr provides such a cool beach party vibe for the track, with big, filtered, Dreamwave style synths and a big of French Touch bass. The track [...]

Oh the bliss of monolingualism. My own lack of understanding for Yelle 's lyrics permits my imagination to run wild, much wilder than her lyrics could ever be. And this bizzaro-chic video directed by Jérémie Saindon doesn't hurt in that department. "Comme un Enfant is my favorite track off Yelle's Safari Disco Club , and I'm tickled to see it finally get the single/video treatment. Here are some choice remixes off the EP: "Comme un Enfant ( Second Date Remix)": [...]
As the Funkmaster stated earlier today, finals are only one weekend away for us down here in FL, and I gotta say I'm not gonna let that effect my weekend shenanigans one bit. It's been a while since the last Jam Drop or any posting from me at all I'm sorry for that but hopefully this weekend's [...]
Arno Gonzalez - Encounters (LP) released by Timid Records incl. 12 tracks. genre: Minimal, Tech House
This sure has been a long time coming but Lo-Fi-Fnk 's sophomore album The Last Summer is finally here! It took over six years for this duo of perfectionists to follow up on their 2005 debut full-length Boylife , although they did reward their loyal fans with a few EPs here and there to ease wait. Singles such as "Marchin' In", "Sleepless" and "Boom" were so strongly received and helped build further anticipation for the new album. Ahead of the release, Leonard Drougge and August Hellsing put together a [...]
Hey guys, I've been working on a mix for the past couple days and I think it turned out pretty well. It's a deeper mix than my previous one, comprised mostly of deep house of different varieties, from latin to jazz to lush, synth heavy experimental. Great for relaxing on the beach or what have you. Give it a listen, lemme know what you think. Track list on my SoundCloud.[Download Here]
Review by Michelle da Silva (@michdas) Photos by David Thai (@david_thai) Vancouverites wanting to give their dancing shoes some use on Friday, May 13, had to go en français for the night. French electro-poppers Yelle were at the Commodore Ballroom for a stop on their North American tour in support of their latest album, Safari [...]

Need to feel good this morn? Add some dreamy nu disco to your cup o' coffee and you'll be just fine. French duo Jamaica first caught my attention when Breakbot remixed their indie dance track "I Think I Like U23. And as a band, they're good, not fully my cup of tea, but the remixes that they spawn are just incredible. And now, fellow countryman Tepr gives us his heavenly take on Jericho with excellent synth background and super attractive lead, this one is gonna last through the [...]
Even after their hit 'I Think I Like U 22 I never really thought Jamaica had any staying power. That was of course until I heard this remix. Fucking perfect. Remixes also come from Todd Edwards and Alvin Risk. 'Jericho' (Tepr Remix) - Jamaica
Si eres cool ya debiste haber escuchado el disco No Problem de Jamaica que promocionamos 100 veces cuando salió el año pasado. Ahora les damos la opción de descargar un remix de Todd Edwards a 'Jericho', que salió como single el mes pasado (feliz día del trabajador btw) con remixes también de Tepr y Alvin Risk. Tengan ahí, para que no olviden a Jamaica jamás. Jamaica - Jericho (Todd Edwards Remix)
The finest in the City of Light collaborate on a flip from the No Problem LP. Never expected to hear that verse from the original with this kind of sound, but it works! Plus it's bound to get people bumped for the weekend! Jamaica are eastside LA bound tomorrow at Echoplex in LA. We'll be there, review to come.. Tickets HERE . Jamaica - Jericho (Tepr Remix) Jamaica: ( Facebook ) ( Twitter ) Tepr: [...]

Yelle Returns! - Although this is 3 months old, thought we would feature French group YELLE. Top track, has got lots of similarity with their Smash hit "Je Veux Te Voir" (watch below) This new comeback of Safari disco Club is exactly what we were hoping from Yelle, which producer TEPR does extremely well. So expect these guys out sometime in 2011. Safari Disco Club by YELLE Album released: March 14th - internationally [...]

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I love RAC. They are wizards when it comes to remixing. They choose such subtle and cohesive instrumentation and they keep the integrity of the song while still drastically improving upon it. Roughly three years ago, RAC released a remix album called RAC VOL 1 that was critically acclaimed and really laid the groundwork for this awesome collective.
Awwww yeah. A 2-for-1 video from Yelle. First is the single "Safari Disco Club", which then promptly goes into "Que veux-tu". Interesting video with all the people buried upside down in the ground. Just as it hits past the 3min mark the video takes a different direction and "Que veux-tu" kicks in. Keeping with the [...]
