Il était une fois... Kid Chocolat . Cet homme a délaissé son activité de boxeur émérite pour s'aventurer dans un labyrinthe musical. Il s'est alors orientés vers des sons bizarres, à la recherches d'ambiances de films, parfois nocturnes et brumeux, parfois grinçants et écarlates. Enfin ce soir, après avoir traversé pendant plus de dix ans des mélodies électro psychédéliques, il sort du labyrinthe avec à bout de bras son nouvel album : Kaleidoscope. C'est un nouveau tournant pour Kid Chocolat avec un album résolument plus pop auquel participent de nombreux artistes tels que [...]
Ce soir, c'est en tant que grand gourmand que je vous apporte la recette du dernier album de Kid Chocolat , qui se nomme Kaléidoscope . Attention : chaud chaud, chocolat ! Créateur du label de musique électronique Poor Records où l'on peut croiser Luluxpo, Born Bjorg ou Love Motel autour d'un bon capuccino, notre kid genevois, plus si petit dans le monde de la musique , nous sort sa troisième tablette. Déjà j'adore le titre : Kaléidoscope . Annonciateur de renouveau en combinant de [...]
![GRUM [Old Taste, New Flavour]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2280531_lg.jpg)
My favourite remix producer Graeme Shepherd aka GRUM has resurfaced this past week with a few new additions for my library. It seems a lot of blogs are reminiscing about his banger remixes, especially these dance gems in-particular. In doing so, they brought a bunch of classics back to our speakers. So restock your library while we wait patiently for the next fantastic release to come our way! Magistrates - Gold Lover (GRUM Remix) * [...]
Grum 's remix/edit of Arman Van Helden got an airing a few days back on Radio 1, it's nothing new. Infact, it's one of his oldest mixes. It was posted on the Erol Alkan boards many moons ago as a Christmas present. But... if you were searching for it... your search has now ended. :-) ♫ Armand Van Helden - You Don't Know Me (Grum Remix) [ M ] Some other older stuff, be sure to check his remix of Love Motel , it's [...]
Swiss duo Division Kent are no strangers to Blogville as remixes of their tracks have been all over the place thanks to both a very active promo guy and their obvious quality. Now these remixes - including some unreleased ones - can be found on the special edition of "Gravity", which is available worldwide this Friday. Even two years after their first release, the originals have not lost any appeal or zest. Songs like "Pat The Pan Am Pilot" with its lyrics about a guy who finds himself in a rapidly changing world are still very up to [...]
Love Motel aus Genf spielen diesen Freitag im Kugl . Und zwar bei der Granate , die im Rahmen des Honky Tonk Beizen-Festivals ihr Programm etwas angepasst hat. Normalerweise ist das Honky Tonk ja nicht für musikalische Höhenflüge oder spannende Konzerte bekannt, dieses Mal könnte dies tatsächlich etwas anders aussehen. Der Abend im Kugl ist wie gewohnt elektronisch angehaucht: Elektro-Rock-Pop und Minimal werden geboten. Vor den wunderbar-kauzigen Herren von Love Motel aus der Westschweiz, die für erstklassige Konzerte bekannt sind, stehen [...]
En 1996, après plusieurs groupes rock et quelques séparations fracassantes, Love Motel s'envole pour New York avec un sampler. Commence alors une période intense de collaborations avec des artistes aussi déjantés qu'inspirés (dont un performer slave qui faisait exploser des nains de jardin sur scène) et un bassiste japonais rencontré à la Knitting Factory. Retour en Suisse et sortie d'un 3 titres éponyme aux ambiances feutrées dont « Room 3 » sera sélectionné sur la compilation électro de la CMA : Hosomaki Mix. Paru en 2003 sur le label parisien Intoxyène, « Après le paradis… [...]
I admit I like Buffetlibre ... since I first discovered them on the intercube, I dig their large vision in the dance music scene. But as much as this is about them, this isn't really all about them at all... It's about that little part of your innards that wants to wear parachute pants and a rat tail to the roller rink where you will have your heart broken for the first time, and possibly second, third, and fourth too... yep. This is all about the 80's. Rewind is a Buffetlibre project that is nothing less than [...]
We're a bit late on this and by the time you read this you probably already know: They have done it again. Buffetlibre DJs have asked musicians and other DJs to mess with their favorite tracks from the 70s, 80s, and 90s of the past century. They compiled the results and now offer the world a ridiculously long list of 89 tracks to download, for free. That's right: eightynine! I still can't believe it. I can hardly come up with the time to listen to all this music. It goes beyond my imagination how Marc and [...]
OH MY GOD, Buffet Libre has unleashed the 2nd part of their Rewind project & it is insane! 89 remixes & covers by kick ass artists like Lazrtag, Little Boots, Division Kent, Heads We Dance, Cruel Black Dove, Love Motel & AC Slater to name a few (entire list below)! The cool thing is that you can download every single track (or "travels" how the crew calls them) for free on their website . Here are some of my favorite picks... a cover to "Computer Love" from Kraftwerk by the groundbreaking british trio Heads [...]

Also, check out Discoballistic's myspace for a an excellent lesson in the locution of ballistic.

As we all know by now, Buffetlibre 's second installment of the Rewind project just launched. The first project brought back so many classic tracks that it was hard to pick a few to single out and the second is proving to be no different. Luckily, the manager of Division Kent and Love Motel helped us pick out two tracks, but we don't mind. They sound excellent! Feel free to head over here to check [...]
December has to have the highest concentration of holidays in the fewest number of days. I mean... Hanuka, Christmas, Kwanza, New Year's Eve, Boxing Day, and of course my birthday, which happens to coincide with New Year's eve. That's a lot of holidays! So I'm posting this ahead of time since I will probably be consumed with festivities on December 31st as I'm sure many of you will as well. So here is my birthday/new year's gift to you, a mix of some of the best remixes I've heard this year. Bon nouvelle année et joyeux anniversaire à moi! [...]
(pix : lastnightsparty ) En ces temps difficiles, la concurrence est rude. Mais pourquoi je parle de concurrence ? Heureusement qu'ils sont là les autres blogs ou autre personalitées virtuelles ! En tout cas je souhaite remercier tout les blogs que je consulte chaque jour pour leur qualité sonore exceptionnelle. /////// Tracklisting Bloody Beetroots - Rombo (Dirty Disco Youth Remix) [highly recommended] Cold Blank - Marshmallow Man Daft Punk - Burnin (Ian Pooley Cut Up Mix) [...]
With stock markets falling and falling, heartbreak hotel might be closed (thanks Kanye !) but Love Motel is still open. The Swiss duo's track " I'm Your Friend " has been remixed by Discoballistic from Belgium. You might call it the chocolate connection, if you're looking for clichés. But of course this more serious: Discoballistic turns the track into a nervous banger, which premieres here on Trash Menagerie. And it's double fudge galore. Nothing for the weak at heart. In related news, Love Motel have done a remix for Fluydo from [...]

We haven't mentioned anyone from the Bordeaux electro circle here for a while, so I guess that means it's time to visit one of my favourites, who for some reason I haven't posted about before, Julien Milan . The 25-year-old Bordeaux native made his live debut four years ago in London, and last year signed to Julien Minet's bourgeoning label, Boxon Records . His latest project is a remix of Taken Away for Digitalism's recently-closed remix competition, and it's amazing. But until the competition winners are announced, Milan is keeping that puppy well and [...]
In the words of The PromoHo Fuzzy Cogitator, "Free things are the only reason I come to this place, or any place for that matter. Both young and old folks know I'm right when I say, paying for things is for the middle aged." So here is some free stuff courtesy of the Buffetlibre guys. 1 st January is the release date of Rewind Part 2, the 70's, 80's & 90's cover project by Buffetlibre Dj's ( http://www.buffetlibredjs.net ) and will be available for free download in mp3 format.
