You might remember Parisian electropop duo Jupiter from their high-energy singles "Saké" and "Vox Populi" . Over the past couple of years, Amélie and Quarles, Jupiter's creative core, have established a solid reputation as France's best purveyors of dancefloor-friendly electro. Their latest endeavour is a synthalicious remix of "Clash" by Paris-based jazz outfit Caravan Place. With a touch of nu-disco and addictive beats, Jupiter turn the song into a true dancefloor anthem! Word on the street is that A&Q are currently working on [...]
Founded in 2007 by Julien Henry (synths & vocals) + Marc Aumont (bass & vocals), Rafale got the meters in overdrive right from the start. After the release of 2 EPs, this double act grew to a trio... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
Apes & Horses are a 4-piece band out of Paris, France. Right now the band is somewhat of a mystery and a little bit undercover (See Picture Above). I did find a couple of videos online that had me gasping in excitement. The first video is for a song titled 'The Fields' and it was performed live in Paris while they were supporting WU LYF on tour. The song is a groovy french jam that shows the bands already strong stage presence. 'Miracles' is the other song that they have floating around online and it [...]

Just a few months after the Terrible Angels EP , French/English songstress Charlotte Gainsbourg is already back with Stage Whisper , a double-LP of live and unreleased material released via Because Music / Elektra. You might have already heard the first single "White Telephone", well here comes another song from the collection, "Paradisco", written and produced by Beck. To celebrate this release, Beatport gave producers a chance to remix "Paradisco" and maybe get their remix released on Because Music—home to the likes of Metronomy and Uffie . [...]
Paris' Black Polygons crafts close-set, yet bleak sound textures of alternately startlingly crisp and densely noisey guitar and synth that seem plucked from the most daunting nights of winter. Sounds familiar/daunting, no? Well don't be fooled. Rather than stretching out a theme by exploiting variations of a certain sonic pallet or slowly adding elements in order to build to a crescendo, he is content to establish a mood and pack on to the next track. While each song, the longest of which is an intentionally aberrant outro clocking in at 3:32, stands well enough on its [...]
French/ English indie five-piece The Lanskies dub their sound-a mixture of Brit-Pop, post-punk and new wave influences-"Hot Wave", and while we can't help but find their enthusiasm in branding their music with this made-up genre tag questionable, there is no question in how much we're digging their new single "Romeo". The first taste, and title track, of their North American debut EP , "Romeo" serves a jubilant blast of early-MTV-era jangle with Liverpool-born frontman Lewis Evans yelping his heart out, urging for a halt to "all the violence and fighting" and throwing shade to [...]
These two stories aren't exactly related, but they fall under the same general umbrella, so here you go. I've been sitting on the first link for months now in an open tab, and the second link is a good way to actually find a use for it. 1. When it comes to sex education, America is woefully incompetent. Kids don't learn anything from of reproductive/biological point of view, nor do they learn anything about how to engage in healthy sexual relationships with others. That's not the case with the Dutch. [...]
The Wedding Present will be releasing their much-anticipated eighth studio album, 'Valentina', in March. It was recorded in France, California and England during 2011 and mixed by Andrew Scheps [whose past credits include Metallica, Iggy Pop and Johnny Cash]. Valentina comes four years after 2008's 'El Rey' and is performed by David Gedge [singing, guitars & percussion], Graeme Ramsay [guitars, piano, harmonium & co-writer with Gedge of all but one of the songs], Pepe le Moko [bass & backing vocals] and Charles Layton [drums & percussion]. Following an album launch event at the 'South By Southwest' [...]
Just like last year, our good homie, Emmanuel threw up THE BEST J Dilla party in Paris, hosted by " Free Your Funk " & Carhartt. This year they brought Black Milk, Onra and DJ Fab to host the venue, and as always it was a major success. Major thanks to the good brother Emmanuel for sharing this goodness with us. Wish we where there. For more of the best concerts in Paris head over to ParisLaNuit.fr •J• Tags: black milk , [...]

Francois & The Atlas Mountains have been putting out some easy going tunes that are akin to floating on clouds even though there is this subtle melancholia that drifts through. Nothing is more calming than a cup of tea and some of the following tunes. You should all know by now that I love Slow Club so this cover really got my attention. Francois & The Atlas Mountains - Gold Mountain - Slow Club Cover However, you need to [...]
One wouldn't think there would be a point to hearing a version of "Tightrope" stripped of Janelle Monae 's glorious pipes, Big Boi's rap and that joyride of a funk-fest groove the late, great James Brown would of shook a good foot to had he been around to hear it, but Finnish/ French indie rockers The Dø prove otherwise with this fantastic cover. Clocking in at an epic nine minutes-plus length, The Dø do the damn thing and more on this flip of the 2010 jam, spending the first three minutes by slowing [...]

"The Dø [are] a Finnish/French duo seemingly intent on rewriting the songbook on pop and folk music with their sophomore album, Both Ways Open Jaws (U.S. release 15 Nov 2011 on Six Degrees). Regardless of national origin, it is an absolute rarity to come across a band as freakishly talented and weirdly innovative as The Dø." [The Musebox] Download Slippery Slope Free Music, Every Day.

Say bonjour to up-and-coming French indie-pop duo Singtank . Even though the band of Alexandre and Josephine de la Baume is still in early stages, they are gaining attention for being wicked cool by association. The sister, actress/singer Josephine, is in fact Mark Ronson 's wife, and has been touted by Kate Moss and Daze & Confused magazine as the next big thing. Their first single "The Party" is pretty standard as quirky indie-pop goes, with the brother on lead vocals and Josephine providing harmonies. It's a fun, catchy ditty that reminds me of [...]
