It's more than two years ago since two of my favourite DJs, Archigram from Paris, played at my club WE LOVE at Berns cellar (aka 2.35:1). It was a truly great DJ set where they used samplers and drum machines, creating that great live mix feeling you only get from dedicated DJs like them. I really wanna bring them back here soon, but until then listen to some of their remixes. And yes I'll try to interview them in a close future.Tuesday, March 31, 2009

Exclusive Interview: Deluce
We have written about the French wonderchild Deluce before. But now we wanted to have a little chat with this bloke and ask him how’s it going in school while producing fantastic music.Who is the man behind Deluce?
Deluce is a young electronic music producer who will like to cross the galaxy in a powerful spaceship.
Does Deluce stand for something? I found this American city named Deluce in Arkansas...but that I believe has nothing to do with you?!
No, Deluce was the name of my old college-cooker, haha. His name makes me feel good, so I take it as my pseudonym in video games, and after that for the music.
You are French and live in Ile-de-France (Paris). How is that?
Exactly, Ile-de-France is Paris and all close by neighbourhoods, I live approximately seven minutes of Paris so I can say I live in Paris. Ile-de-France is cool; Paris is the most beautiful city in the galaxy!
We have written about you before, and we wrote that you are studying engineering. How is a day in school?
Yeah, I study in an Engineer school. It's cool, we don't have a lot of work. A day in school is slow. I often sleep in class otherwise I draw.
Does it work well studying and writing great tracks? How much time on studying versus producing?
Yeah, it works well! I consider being more serious with my studies, but in class I'm not that serious. 80% producing and 20% studying. It works well, haha.
How many points did you get in your last examination?
9/20 in maths.
How many points do you give your last tune "Epic"?
3/5.
Hehe, you are a bit shy, we believe it’s a great track, well worth much better points!
What influences do you have?
Danger (I'm a fan!), Trentemøller (his sound quality makes me fly), Ratatat (his melodies makes me so cool), and of course Valerie troops and French rap!
We also wrote in our last post about you, that your music would be a great soundtrack while travelling in space. Do you think your music will suit outer space?
I make a lot of different kinds of music but it's true that some of my tracks are made for intergalactic travel.
Yeah, let’s head into space now and until next time Deluce, good luck with your producing and don’t forget about school…
Hehe, no I promise. Now let's go for track!
Deluce – Epic
Deluce – Superheroes

Trippple Nippples

Since the Lowbrows' remix of Chromeo's "Call Me Up" (which we posted here) is one of my favourite tracks at the moment, I wanted to check out some more of their stuff. While doing so I stumbled upon electro poppers Trippple Nippples. It's not entirely new (2006 I think) and I don't know much about them other than they're Japanese, that three is 50 % more than two and that the more, the merrier...
Trippple Nippples - RIP Meat

Twelve is the number!

I guess its time to write about my favourite Brazilians: The Twelves. Joao Miguel and Luciano Oliveira from Rio de Janeiro formed the group back in 2006. The name came from the strange coincidence of their birth dates: twelve of July of 1980. The breakthrough came when they remixed "Boys" by M.I.A. I've never had the opportunity to see them live but their shows are a unique blend of live keyboards, drum machines, mash-ups and remixing on the fly. A key element for the duo is trying to improvise as much as possible.
Here are some of my favourite remixes by these great Brazilians. And if you don't like them i say in portuguese: Cala boca! And if you want their remix of La Roux "In for the Kill" just go here.

Build

Jason Reid, aka Build, dropped a new terrific remix the other day. This time of not so daft punk rockers Phoenix' free download single "1901" from their upcoming album due out in May.
Phoenix - 1901 (Build Remix)
I used to listen a lot to rude French indie rockers The Teenagers, and once again mr Build' does a great job.
The Teenagers - Feeling Better (Build Remix)
It seems we are slowly posting all of the gazillion Ladyhawke remixes. On the other hand, chances are that we'll be sitting on some retirement home somewhere around 2050 when we're finally done..
Ladyhawke - Back of the Van (Build Remix)
And the same goes of course for Cut Copy.
Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire (Build Remix)
Labels:
Build,

Techno pop Québécois

We posted the remix of French-Canadian singer/songwriter Coeur de Pirate's "Comme des Enfants" by fellow Québéqoises Le Matos a while back. Now Mademoiselle Pirate has returned Le Matos' favour by appearing on the new Le Matos track, another beautiful techno pop track:
Le Matos feat. Coeur De Pirate - How Do I Let You Know?
The first track I heard with Le Matos was their banging remix of Canadian (you guessed it!) rap group Omnikrom which surfaced eons ago by blog standards. I'm talking like 2007. You can really hear how their sound have changed from then.
Omnikrom - Prend Une Photo Avec Moi (Le Matos Mauviette Remix)
Here's more of Le Matos' trademark mix of techno, pop and nu italo (this one more towards melodic techno):
Le Matos - Quiet Earth
My favourite Le Matos has otherwise been the remix of this Numéro# track...
Numéro# - Star Modèle (Le Matos Poindexter Remix)
...which also has been remixed by Parisian techno DJ Don Rimini, who played in Stockholm a couple of weeks back.
Numéro# - Star Modèle (Don Rimini Remix)
Labels:
Coeur de Pirate,
Don Rimini,
Le Matos,
Numéro#,
