Novanova* - Memories - 17-Sep-07 02:36 PM
I really really love Nova Nova. This album/compilation/best-of/whatever you want is a real object. The unreleased tracks are surprising, Eternity is one of these piano-tracks the band knows how to do, Suddenly has a nice reversed melody and Marc Durif singing on it (finally!), and Marta is like a Bossa Nova tune. There is also this track everyone had probably forgotten, Pump! (Shake It Up) Minimal Matter, a house track very different of the others.
Beautiful, like the poems of Arthur Rimbaud (Mémoire) on the booklet...
Avril - Like Everybody Else - 17-Sep-07 02:23 PM
The second single of Avril, Like Everybody Else, have been released only as this promotionnal single. A collector item for the fans of the artist. At the beginning, the single had to be released with a special surprise (maybe another special concept like the single The Date: remixed... but only by girls!), probably something with the videoclip.
Indeed, the videoclip consists in Fred Avril walking on the streets of Paris, slapping everyone. The idea is from Paul Poiré, the son of Jean-Marie Poiré, a famous french film director (Papy Fait De La Résistance, Les Visiteurs, Les Anges Gardiens, and a lot of other french-typical movies). He appears on this videoclip with also some friends-artists of Avril, like Guillaume Fédou, Guido, Doubleuté, and more.
DJ Goon & DJ Koyote - Diamond Grills - 17-Sep-07 12:49 PM
This mix-CD is a must have for every fan of booty house music, like a bible of the genre with A Night At The Booty Bar by Disco D, but in fact it's more than that. Around 150 tracks, always at last 2 tracks mixed during the disc, and what's more interesting is that Goon & Koyote included some non-booty music, but pitched-up, which create kinds of live remixs or new versions like R. Kelly, Mr. Oizo, Three 6 Mafia, and more. The great particularity of this mix is its live-blends. Indeed, Goon and Koyote includes some accepellas of rap tracks like Crime Mob, Juvenile, Lil Wayne, and more.
The whole CD is hosted by DJ Nasty, the "ambassador" of the Abooty, and guest appearances like Disco D, Tekilatex, ... and the most surprising is that the 2 DJs are not coming from Detroit, Chicago, or Atlanta, but from Paris. 100% credibility.
After this compilation, the 2 french ambassodors of the booty decide to do some parties in Paris with the theme of their CD, Diamond Grills (note the reference to the Rolling Stones), they collaborate together on a track for the label Arcade Mode, and after the success of Diamond Grills they decided to prepare a volume 2.
A simple mix-CD of booty house music ? More than that...
Morando - Single Bell - 17-Sep-07 09:47 AM
"Single Bell" is just an awesome "filtered house" track! There's a nice old sample and a too-cool melody that reminds me things I never lived like a swimming pool party with the Beach Boys.
Unfortunately, it's the only one Benjamin Morando produced. By listening to this track, we guess he has a great potential in house music, but it seems that Morando wasn't really at ease with this it, and the B side and his other projects like Octet and France Copland) are totally different.
TTC - Dans Le Club - 17-Sep-07 06:46 AM
This EP represents a real change in the career of the band: before, TTC was considered like an Abstract/Weird rap band, but now with "Dans Le Club" it's clearly Club Rap with some electro in it. The lyrics and the music have changed, they totally assume their love for Dance music, parties, girls, and clothes.
"Codeine" is a 33/45 rpm track: at the middle of the song, Tekilatex raps with 45 rpm rhythm and not anymore in 33 rpm one (so the voice sounds faster at this moment and you have to change the speed of the vinyl). This is a reference to Screw music (you should listen to DJ Screw mixtapes if you're interested).
The last track, "Game Over 2099", is a new version of their very first track "Game Over", but this time produced by the french 8-bit-band Teamtendo. This song refers to the '99 events:
In 1999, french people were all afraid of the crash of the MIR station in Paris. Indeed, the dressmaker Paco Rabanne affirmed that it will happen in August 1999, the 11th, during a solar eclipse. Of course, nothing occured.
