Crydamoure is a label Daft Punk 's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo formed with Éric Chedeville in 1997. Their releases as Le Knight Club, including this weekend's rewind "Hysteria," were some of the first French house music releases to include band-like instrumental influences. This track is timeless in its sound and universal in its appeal. Enjoy. You just finished reading Weekend Rewind: Le Knight Club - Hysteria ! Consider leaving a comment!
French house doesn’t get a lot of mainstream love these days, but it’s still my favorite flavor of house music. It’s a style that’s all about focusing on a catchy riff (either by sampling or by one’s own creation), adding effects, bending the pitch, and, most commonly, filtering the living daylights out of it (it has been described by some as “filter house,” after all), all while using a variety of looping sequences to keep the groove moving. The French house sound came into maturity at around the same time Daft Punk began to hit their stride; this was in [...]
Sometimes we need someone to whisk us away to the sunshine and happiness of the waves crashing ashore on a coastal beach. Times like a Monday morning. Daily obligations tear us from our loved ones, but during that lonely morning commute, a feel good song can transport us back to the weekend, if only for a few minutes. The Wales-based producers Vanguard released just such a track last week and they're offering it as a "pay what you want" download. The track is far more chill than Vanguard's previous offerings such as [...]
Il semble qu'en ces temps difficiles toute une société regarde vers son passé comme pour se rappeler combien il était réconfortant d'être bercé dans les bras d'une mère. La nostalgie est le sentiment emblématique de ces années de crise et elle n'épargne pas la musique. On peut le regretter tant il est vrai que pour certains producteurs cela consiste à décliner sans créativité aucune les canons inventés par d'autres en leur temps mais on ne saurait nier que d'autres se servent à merveille de leurs penchants nostalgiques pour transcender des tracks on ne peut plus contemporains en leur insufflant une [...]
I've had a pretty bad week, between final exams and my lil' laptop I post from giving up the ghost I ain't had no time to stop. That is until today. Hanging out on my twitter I was hit with inspiration, check this out. Long time friend of us here at ilictronix, a Mr. Earl Grey hit me up with his latest with a simple note "DAT BASSLINE" and I have to agree with him on that one, give it a listen and you'll soon [...]

L'Etranger is the moniker for French touch producer Ben Thomas, who is actually from the UK , we've never really heard of him before, but with any submission with the words French, Touch and Crydamoure in it, we thought it was worth a listen. He's re-edited Deelat's 'Wetness Athem', which a classic French Touch track from Crydamoure (Guy-Manuel De Christo's label, who is of course one half of Daft Punk), so you can expect to hear happy horns, cut-up samples, chatty kicks and claps - everything an French touch aficionado needs. Grab it for free and keep an [...]
I found this on the BIRP! website a couple of days ago and it has been played pretty much on rotation since then. The songs are all good, although my favourite has to be the Javelin track. The fact that this mix is well over a year old and I've only just discovered it is an oversight. Sorry. If you like it then be sure to head over to the website and look for his other mixes. There are [...]
The HIMAN is back kids...and boy is it a delight. The French native (Julien Lacroix) who currently resides in Sydney has crafted a rather magnificent 6 track EP that'll leave you feeling nothing but unadulterated joy. 'Initial' takes you on a journey through super cool 'Novalaise' and the smooth, guitar laden 'Donna' before the bpm rises and you're treated to some french filter disco heaven with killers such as 'Disco3000' & '1998' which both sound super Crydamoure inspired and delicious! After last year's success with "I Want You" together with Fever 105, and 'Hill Valley' which we featured in our [...]

Longevity has just been redefined by the words of Le Knight Club. Filtered, chilled and loved are perfect foundations to build up a catalogue of releases which spill out emeralds and sapphires in the form of ‘Nymphae Song,’ ‘Rhumba,’ ‘Hysteria,’ ‘Santa Claus,’ ‘Boogie Shell,’ ‘Holiday On Ice’ and ‘Wrath Of Zeus.’ ‘Nymphae Song’ and ‘Rhumba’ come through as no two exceptions, but there is an honest element about them both that outshines your normal run-of-the-mill house track and puts their creativity right up on stage for all sorts of people to go “oooo”, “aaaa” and snap your camera phones [...]

From the mindset of Daft Punk’s very own Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (and Eric Chedeville), Aerialnoise.com present two of their edits from the 1999 seminal release on Crydamoure records called 'Hysteria.' The drums, the disco chord loops and the ongoing toughness that enhances ‘Hysteria’ and ‘Hysteria II’ is truly breathtaking, so for a sound and a record label which was so avidly sought after at that time you can clearly see why it established itself as an unmovable source of positive house music which inspired, sought out and kept people coming back to its original foresight for more. [...]

In 1997, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Eric Chedéville started up the label Crydamoure. Their approach to house music was different; the vibes very melodic, exotic, and rhythmic. It was one of the first labels to have band and guitar influences in its production. Homem-Christo and Chedéville worked under the alias "Le Knight Club", whose first Crydamoure release was "Santa Claus/Holiday On Ice". The label granted young French artists the opportunity to take their chance, with names such as Play Paul (Thomas Bangalter's brother), Raw Man, Deelat, and Archigram in their roster. With over 20 EP's to [...]
I wouldn't mind getting myself a copy of that picture just quietly. Here is a great mix to kick start your week from The Swiss , this aired live from KissFM in Melbourne and it's so delicious, Tony gave me permission to share it. Mitology mixed this short treat solo under the swiss moniker and it's a pleasant dj mix full of french house classics from a pioneering label of the sound. Crydamoure. For those of you that get bored with traditional mixes this is perfect. Something exciting happens every minute or so. Even though it's only [...]
Word up Boppers. We've got some more trax that would make Jack proud. Our first track is a cut by Sedat from the wonderful label Crydamoure . It features your typical filter house affair here… a House beat backed with a funky repetitive sample and a heavy dose of lowpass filter for the breaks. Nice jam to whip out in a set to change things up a bit. Sedat - The Turkish Avenger - [...]
Le [The] Knight Club is a Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo & Éric Chedeville duo that has been around for 13 years or so under their own label Crydamoure (traslated cry of love). Guy-Manuel is a current Daft Punk member but enough with this introduction. They are still remixing but I haven't find new release of them recently under the Le Knight Club artist name. They have a french house style with a disco touch. Nymphae Song - Le Knight Club 10 Apr 2002 [...]
I was speaking to Voules recently about older house EP's and how fucking sick the classics are. The tracks that are decades on and still able to move the crowds. One such release was from Cryda Luv ' (Crydamoure) back in 1999 by Raw Man. The label is best known for its half association with Daft Punk artist Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. The Lovers/Number Seven Ep was released as the 8th title from the now famous upstart from France and showcased some of the newest edits of samples that were now doubt cultivated [...]

Crydamoure is a French House label created in 1997 by music gods Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo (of Daft Punk fame) and Eric Chedeville (currently Rico the Wizard). CRYDA was the first French House label I ever got into, and boy am I glad I did. The 10th installment of Crydamoure's fantastic releases is courtesy of Play Paul, the younger, and more attractive, Homem-Christo brother :P Like his world-famous brother, Play Paul has a knack for turning out short riffs of sampled disco songs that can be seamlessly repeated for minutes [...]
Happy Holidays to all the Boppers! Today, we have quite the post... mostly Daft Punk related, but thats not a bad thing, right? Here is a fantastic live version of Daft Punk's Rock'n Roll. Its from 1997, recorded at Le Rex Club in Paris. Back then , the boys used to go on stage with about 7 grand worth of equipment and no computers. Everything was just MIDI synced, basically recreating their studio setup. When I make a techno tune this is exactly [...]
