Arthur's Landing

Cool project to come from Strut with a Arthur's Russell tribute album. Most of the people involve worked with him on his different monikeers. Expect slow mo disco dub and under water psyche pop... If you don't understand a word about what I'm talking about, check here.

Faces Records

Big release to come from MCDE and the Faces Records crew (Big up Pablo !). Hundred20 is a new MDCE's project with a friend of him. Nice acid tracks, in the mood of his latest remixes. Beautiful remix from John Roberts who released a fantastic LP on Dial. Check in your favorite shop to get a copy of the double 12" to come soon...

In Flagranti has always be one of my fav producers since years, especialy with the Sound Superb serie which is really really wicked (check here for more madness). Making some clean up in the box of the blog I found this remix their did for a duo that I didn't know, Arsenal. Stunning rework as usual...

Arsenal - Lotuk (In Flagranti remix)

Secret Weapons

Dj History strikes again and again : compilations, interviews of many musical legends, podcasts a gogo, books etc. Their latest release is a strong CD/LP with a fistful of amazing tracks. This one is maybe the more "physical" but it works great...

NUBIAN MINDZ - 909 Samba (Secret Weapons) by Bill Brewster

Where it comes from

Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes - Bad luck


Trusme - Good god

Ghosts

Innovative. No compromises. Constant. Ghostly International and its sub-labels are all of this since the beginning. To get in touch with the nerdy part of their public their did an iphone app (free) to discover the catalog selecting sounds by differents ways.

They also released few weeks ago the third LP of Matthew Dear and as usual it's great. I love his voice and the treatment. Don't expect "dancefloor made for LP" here... A black diamond. Full of haunted vocals and tricky beats. The album comes in all usual formats and in a limited totem (!?) of 100 pieces.

Monstre!

I remember some years ago : people used to talk about a mysterious guy called Venturi. During some months I believed this guy was just an urban legend but one day I finally met him. He's what we can consider as a versatile guy, producing some beats in his room, collecting weird (or not) records, working a lot and playing in the new super combo in town called Monstre! with other freaky dudes. Enjoy his La derniere seance mixtape.

Disco Cop

Don't know many things on this one : just two 12" on Discogs with different pressings but the sound is sooooo fat... Reminds me the Kon & Amir's sounds ! Probably my best flea market find till now. Enjoy.

Portable Patrol - Cop bop (Disco mix)

Superfriends

Second release from Superfriends. Be quick now or cry later.

Englishmen in N.Y.C

I heard about this collab between Futura and The Clash but never heard it until I found this promo compil in a flea market few days ago... It seems that a video exists where he paints live on stage with the Strummer's gang but can't find it. If you know where it is, please post in comments.

Futura and The Clash - The escapade of Futura 2000

Straight from Spacestation

Luke Slater is seriously back in business. Freaky artwork too. Out now on Ostgut Ton.

Smells good

A lil' explanation of what is coming in september from the Tigersushi family :

"To celebrate our 10 years we decided to launch a series of split 7inches in association with our best musical friends : the More G.D.M. Collabs. Each release of the series will be a limited edition (200 copies) split 7inch with one Tigersushi side and one “guest” side. For the first installment of the More G.D.M. COLLABS series we teamed up with our long-time friends Optimo who released their infamous compilation How to Kill The DJ pt 2 on Kill The DJ / Tigersushi back in 2004! Both tracks here are super hard-to-find minimal synth gems. We call them gems because in our opinion they go way beyond the genre and reach a timeless classic status. We chose Solid Space's Tenth Planet on our Tigersushi side. A track released in 1982 on cassette only by this obscure band from the UK. Optimo chose John Bender, another super obscure cult musician from Cincinnati."

If you follow Tim's Sweeney's Beats In Space and have heard the stunning Ivan Smagghe's mix you'd propably noticed that Kill the Dj (my other fetish label) is going to release a serie of tiny 7" in the next months.

I heard too about Tullio de Piscopo's hit Bajon being remixed by Isoul8 and the mighty house king of Detroit : Theo Parrish ! Probably in september... stay tuned

Leather, 909 & peppers

Discodeine's new single before is launched before the LP. As usual expect some wicked electronic stuff with amazing artwork. Don't sleep, only 500 pressed & beautiful artwork...

Winter winds

We don't talk about jazz much often over here but I'd to make a post for this fantastic reedition of P.E Hewitt's work. Thanks to Now Again, his three records are now available on cd and vinyl (beautiful box for each). This young (in 1968...) pianist of 17 years (!!!) is an incredibly talented, trust me, this is heavy heavy sound.

ROTARYDISCO76 12" OUT ON ADULT MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT

Adult Music Entertainment return with another tasty four tracker re edit 12". RD76 edits four tracks with ease. To start 'The Price Of the Beat' with lots of balearic funky percussion, dubbed out vocal, mellow chorus hooks a very nice smoulder late night track. 'They Don’t Tell The Truth' starts off with killer percussion then goes into soul territory, lots of raw groove business.
The flip sees 'We Love The Theme'- Serious groove with beautiful strings arrangement comes with beautiful male & female vocals. A great great edit!

Tiger

The infamous parisian label run by Joakim, Tigersushi celebrates 10 years of deviant sounds. One record is shaped in a kind of "greatest hits" with some exclusive or special edits and the second is a mix by the boss himself. Freaky music for freaky people. Thanks.


Principles Of Geometry - Americhael

Update : here is the brand new Resident Advisor podcast by the Bouaziz brothers, Joakim and Mattias

I was a teenage dj in 1982

Sidney is a real legend for everybody involved in hip hop in France cause he used to have his own tv show in the early 80's.

Sidney - Let's break EP

- Let's break (Smurf)

To wait during the download you can check this fantastic video who fits perfectly to this post. Thx Roger B for the tip.

Live from Studio Cacane

Just a word to say that I did a mix for Natural Pleasure, the radio show hosted by my men Frankito & Dr No on Radio Meuh. You can listen here (Guytwo part).

Dark sunshine

A big favourite from this spring, repress by Kindred Spirit in vinyl few weeks ago.

Bring back the bimbo's touch

I recorded this mix few weeks ago but forget it just after. It's focusing on dark sounds but with various kind of beats cause many mixes are so boring because of that. As usual with me it's vinyl only (maybe you don't give a fuck about that but I'm still buying records every weeks), one shot and no editing. Enter the dungeon now !

Gentleman

I can't hide it, I'm a big fan of Herbert for years. A new lp is coming and Matthew takes the mic ! It's a trilogy cause two others lps are already planned, can't wait ot hear that ! His work is simpy beautiful : from the minimal organic sounds of the Wishmountain moniker, to the vocal house with Dani or his stunning remixes for Blaze, Moloko, the false balearic touch of Doctor Rockit, the scores for different movies... I share a remix of Axelle Red (a belgian singer, very famous in France), that is almost unknown. Brilliant Matthew's touch : cut-up, horns and reworked vocals to bring that swinging mood that I like so much. Enjoy !


Axelle Red - Ma Bimbo à moi (Herbert's chicken swing remix)

The Prins goes solo

After two Lp's with Lindstrom, Prins Thomas goes on his own way. It took a long time but the man is pretty busy running two excellent labels (Full Pupp & Internasjonal), remixing a lot and touring. So, here's a teaser to wait until may 5. Expect usual sound investigation between cosmic, disco and tribal vibe.

Prins Thomas - Uggebugg

For those who maybe missed it, I posted a live mix he did in town two years ago (beware : 3 parts), so dig in the archives.

Watusi Band

Spring flavour today. Fromage Disco delivers this cool and warm afro track. First autralian sound following Brasil, Portugal, Italia, Spain, U.K, France & Deutschland, perfect ! Enjoy and don't forget to clean your bbq...

Watusi Band - Oi Gere (Fromage vs Knanky Fuckles edit)

Radiant child

I met Sundae in town few months ago. We had a lunch with some friends, talking about Lio, the afro sound diggers, Arthur Russell and how to remove the repeat mode of my i-pod ! He played records with Blackjoy and I did the "mad drunk dancer" all night long... because the sound was awesome. Enjoy this selection he did specially for us and check his blog to discover his tastes and his work as graphist.

Raid the radio

Radio alert ! Blackjoy is starting a radio show focusing on funky beats made in France. The first guest was Boombass, one of the guy behind Cassius / La Funk Mob. Check the links for direct streaming and tracklist.


Blackjoy's part

Boombass's part




As we are here, I'd to talk a bit too about the show hosted by Frankito & Dr No. Every week, almost 2 hours of music, think funk, jazz, soul, brazil, tropical, afro, disco (an so on...) with occasionally guests. Links and tracklists here.

Another one from My Favorite Robot

My Favorite Robot is definitively a label to follow. After some great releases they launched remixes that rock like hell to celebrate the one year birthday. Except top house tunes... This one is the strongest from the package they sent me : dubby round sub-bass, nice vocal & deep atmophere.


James Teej - Space Oddity (My Favorite Robot mix)

Girls on top

This is a bootleg compilation of a bootleg serie by Richard X. A guy, The Watcher, repressed the whole serie on an LP few year ago. Bootlegs are not really my cup of tea but this one is great : Whitney Houston singing on Kraftwerk. Curious but it works perfectly. Enjoy.

Girls on Top - I wanna dance with somebody

La french

Quite a funky mood these days so this mix from Dj Pharoah is perfect. 100% french sound. The only thing that you should know about the tracklist is in the picture.

Dj Pharoah - Funk de France mix

Paris s'épelle m-e-r-d-e

Taxi Girl is a famous band in France thanks to their hit, Cherhez le garcon, and for the line up which counts Mirwais and Daniel Darc. This 12" from 1984 is a beautiful piece of electronic pop with fantastic lyrics full of casualness and fatality (sorry if you don't speak french, you miss something...). Kind of modern urban blues...

Taxi Girl - Paris (Original 12" mix/ Version dub / Remix) (1984)

Bye bye Papa Willie

R.I.P. Willie Mitchell

Willie Mitchell - Kitten korner

The Kid is back in town

One funky pop track from N.Y today : a special 12" version from August Darnell, the talented producer / singer behind many projects on the infamous ZE records. I recommend too the ZEvolution compilation with a stunning casting of editers : Greg Wilson, Pilooski, Social Disco Club, Todd Terje, Rug'n'Tub, Richard Sen, Idjut Boys or Leo Zero...

Kid Creole & the Coconut - Table manners (Remix version) ZE records, 1982

French shower

Another mix from my "local guys". Julien Dorst deliver a good strong house mix, minimal but groovy. He did a remix with Triplecat on the Rebotini's remix comp' that is cool & you can find here a track they produce together, nice shot guys ! Check them Sound cloud account, it's here.

Heavy diggin'

This one is for the vinyl freaks. Please, check this awesome track but don't even dream of finding the original 7" ! Fortunatelly Superfriends records repress it with a a track by Les Parisiennes on the b-side. Limited quantities so be (very) quick, future sought after... Big support by Gilles Peterson who played it as first record of his first 2010 radio show ! Stay tuned cause they gonna release other stuff soon (think disco and tropical...) and I'll probably do a post for each.

The funky side of Robert

I can't say I knew well The Cure's discography but I found the Boys don't cry 12" (with a special extended version...) in a second hand for almost nothing. The good surprise was on the b-side : a funky track with a punk funk / disco not disco feeling ! Quite unusual for them. So, let's dance now !


The Cure - Do the hansa

From Charvonnex with love

My men Alex is really a special person : he loves films with sharks above all, he's the king of bbq and he's learning how to become the best dad in the world... I was asking him a mix for weeks but he had to succeed his girlfriend's "quality control" unless the mix arrive in my box ! So, he did it and show us that you can mix together boom bap hip hop with a Cologne's flavour. Enjoy
