Usually we leave the FEEL GOOD FRIDAY posts to just PrettyboyPaul because he's much more hip than we are... but this was really just TOO good not to put up Not many artists from Amsterdam make their way to the states, and when they do, they usually make all the kids loose their shit. .Rubix is one of those artists we CAN NOT WAIT too see live!! ALL of his songs are pretty epic.. but this is just ONE of the pure fire that he [...]

Rubix is a DJ/Producer from Holland. He's making some delightful french sounding house music which has already caught the attention of peeps like Laidback Luke & Kissy Sell Out. It's easy to hear why, with tracks like 'Baiser Sur La Disco' you can tell he's certainly going places. You don't want to miss out on this kid. ♫ Rubix - Baiser Sur La Disco (Rubix Refix) [ M ] ← ♥ ♥ ♥

D20 is upon us! Recently, I've been listening to a fair amount of 70s and 80s French music―everything from Bernard Szajner to Karen Cheryl―and I figured it's about time I share some of it with you! Since I'm in a disco sort of mood today, we'll talk about Voyage, a very theatrical yet loungey disco group that made music you'd be more likely to hear at a cocktail hour rather than a thumpin' club. That's not to say the tunes on their 1979 LP, Fly Away , are timid, meek, or tired―they [...]
New in from What What Records, Ed Orable feat Spoek's Dance No More gets a Monkey Safari remix, but fails to ignite a pretty much repetitive plodding track, not a floor shaker, more of an irritant that just screams for some invention and oomph to it! Check out the mixtape though as it's rather good and makes up for the naff track given to me for review! Ed Orable Feat Spoek - Dance No More - Monkey Safari Remix Mixtape: 1. Lazy Flow - [...]

Overdrive, please use the link below. Crash Overdrive - Retake the Streets EP Sampler [...]

Its kind of interesting listening to french rap.... and more so french rap then mixed by an equally interesting fellow Just Faust , oh and don't forget Rye Rye's in there as well. I fully have no idea whats being said by Stress but putting that aside its a comforting yet aggressive track. Apart from Sebastian Tellier most frenchies who rap sound like their foot and my ass want to start a relationship but Justin lays down some side scrolling space disco goodness to alleviate any negativness. The full release will also include [...]

Well, this is long overdue, and I've missed you a lot - but it's so worth the wait! Abstrakt's Quick Six is back with all the love you need. Get some!! Untold - Gonna Work Out Fine EP ( Hemlock ) A range of dubstyle biz from a rising superstar of the bass and beats genre. 6 cuts going from heavy and dark to almost industrial grime, and through to funky [...]

Have you ever had the urge to spin some disco but were passed a huge spliff at the same moment? I thought so. Let me guess, you weren't sure if you should crank up the tunes or dial it back a bit? Tricky, but a good problem to have. Well, CFCF (aka Montreal's Justin Silver) is here to meet you half way. It's one part Italo-disco, one part French House and one part smooth jazz or, as I like to call it, stoner-disco. Check it out here . The first two tracks on the myspace page should be skipped [...]

French people are mad. They talk gibberish, eat tons of white bread and do not pick up the shit after their dogs. The last promo bundle we received further clarifies the fact that Frenchmen are completely and utterly insane . Jeff Lasson drops a 123 white label vinyl containing three mad edits. First track is "The Dreamer" with a spoke-a-pella taken from a french movie soundtrack. Next out is a downtempo, dubbish revise of 80's classic "Under the Vice". And finally my favorite - an instrumental re-edit of Valery Alington's "Stop" . This is [...]

Attack of the drones The London electro-pop trio have moved on massively from their first kitchen sink gig at a friend's house in the spring of 2008, to being among the first slew of bands announced for next year's SXSW festival. The band have been among the 'ones to watch' lists for some time. However, the limelight that shone on the majority of solo female electro acts (La Roux, Little Boots) in 2009 is set to radiate their way in 2010. The band - which describes their sound as "8-bit [...]

'Hablemos de Romborama' The Bloody Beetroots 'Anarquía y dolor' . Estas son las expectativas que sir Bob Cornelius Rifo , creador de los temas de TBB, y mitad del dúo a los platos del mismo nombre junto a Tommy Tea , describe para su próxima gira mundial. El nihilismo, el caos, y el espíritu punk invaden el discurso de Bob, "me gustaría crear el pánico a todo aquel que insiste en clasificar todo lo que percibe" . Pánico no se si crea, tal vez un [...]

For a while I have thought it was only a matter of time before french house/disco comes back. Like properly. But I have now grown to think that it has reached a niche of sorts now, which is good in one respect because it means it won't be ruined by anything or anyone mainstream , but it does also mean that the good shit is that little bit rarer. The Phantom's Revenge is good shit. The Nimes-based producer has been knocking on the door for 12 months or so with his fast-paced disco house, [...]

I received this DJ mix in advance of a very cool sounding show in London featuring 5+ acts including Chromeo and Punks Jump Up, and thought it worthwhile sharing. What the Neon Noise Project is doing is pretty cool.. check out the description below. I recommend hitting this party up in a big way - Chromeo and PJU are definitely worth showing support for. Quality not quantity has been a fitting motto for Neon Noise Project's second year of unique tailor-made, one-off events in seldom used venues across London. Neon Noise parties feature stunning live shows [...]

Here is Jacob Safari's remix of the band From 's Beastie Boys cover. Remember that indie pop cover of "Fight For Your Right" that was in French? Yeah - that was From. Everything lead singer Roni Brunn does is unique and captivating, and this is no different. Jacob Safari found a secret passage off "I Feel Love," sidestepping disco and retro in favor of sparkly grit – that's the first surprise. The rest are fun to explore and much harder to place in this addictive remix. From [...]
This is probably the most exciting interview we have done since our inception. "A Huge influence on bands like Daft Punk, SPACE sold 12 million records across 4 albums from 1977-81, and are sadly referred to as one of Europe's great forgotten innovators of the 1970's" NO WAY should spAce be forgotten! Whilst a certain Parisian electronic duo were still (probably impossibly chic) toddlers, French band /production SPACE had worked out that making lots of hooky synth disco and wearing Space suits [...]

A s I mentioned at the start of the countdown 10 weeks ago, the list has included only singles and one lead performance per artist. Before concluding, allow me to give props to 10 two-hit (or more) wonders who may have placed multiple singles on the list had I bent the rules. Amy Winehouse "Rehab" "Tears Dry On Their Own" Billie Ray Martin "Undisco Me" Destiny's Child "Lose My Breath" Kylie "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" Madonna "Music" Nelly Furtado "Maneater" [...]

The true test of a pop artist destined for longevity is shown through their follow up release to such a successful debut. LADY GAGA departs from her obsession with fame and fortune and moves on to the darker side of slick produced pop/dance music on The Fame Monster . Overall the album sounds reminiscent of Britney's Blackout with a much darker twist. Her vocals sound much more consistent than the previous album. While she could easily cobbled together a re-package including just one [...]
