PULP CLASSICS PT????

One of my favorite track from the RA podcast I just did... and an ultimate Pulp Classic. People will think it is hard to play because it is at 140 bpm but it is so sleazy...

I wish GM was still making music, he was one of a kind...


A CHERRY KISS FROM A YOUNG BUTCH (ISE8 DJ TOOL)

how could this go unoticed...

... well, I really don't know. i mean, I did not notice it until very recently and it has instantly become THE 'end-nighter' of the year... goosebumps (ask those who were still here last night at 6.30 am).

It is so simple, so beautiful that I really did not do much to it. Just extended intro and outro for being able to mix it more easily.

it is a recent track on a indie label so please do not share it on other blogs... Same, if you're from the band or the label and want me to put it on streaming only, please contact me...

Such a record, I thought I'd do anything to make it heard by more people....

LAST DANCE, NEW PARTNER (ISE8 VERY LIGHT EXTENSION)

hits in the making

after two all-night long sessions (I wish to thank all who were there and all who made it possible-both were great in their distinctive manner), here are 10 of my biggest 'new' records. some are out. some not yet. some probably will never be.

NOW DOWNLOADABLE...


Times are good... Well, musically, I think they are. I am quite excited by the new music that is around, there to grab you if you accept to leave safe shores behind... I've never been one to complain about the lack of good records though but I feel so much more comfortable now than, let's say, two years ago...

It's not only the production but also the audience... There is out there a young enthusiastic crowd that surprises me more and more... They may be a mixture of kids growing up of Headbangers stuff and others bored by bongo conformism... They may be something else, who cares...

A noticeable ripple effect of this emergence is playing again records from the (personal) 'Golden Era' of 1999-2002: the proto-electroclash days, the rediscovery of punk funk, rock on the dancefloor, dark electronics and, for myself and above all, Kill The DJ at Le Pulp. For instance, I was amazed the other day, by the crowd reaction to In Flagranti's 'Just Gazing' and my parisian all-night long did have strong reminiscences of these days. I hope to be able to stick a few in London too tomorrow...

No silly nostalgia though, no 'retro set'. Simply because these records fits with a certain fringe of today's production. Bravo.

Here's an extended version of a minor classic of the period. An obscure one though, the more obvious being for you to (re)discover.

ANNA, KATIE AND MONTY (ISE8 EXTENDED)

resident advisor podcast

... that contains the track posted yesterday along some new stuff and old classics of mine...

...never easy to sum it all up in 60 minutes, I will have more time this saturday for my London all-nighter. But I think the spirit is there.

Get it here.

So... We're sailing again...

Here's a glimpse at something I will come back to tomorrow. I can't believe this one has not been picked up by anyone (I am sure you will correct me if I'm wrong), one that seems absent from your usual strange music treasure coves.

It has ' obscure obsessive' tattooed all over it though. And, as the hints indicate, does not hail from uncharted shores . I've cherished this one for years, and kept it a bit secret. Take it as a token of my repentance for having neglected the ship these past weeks.

ACRYLIXXX (ISE8 EXTENDED)

PS: NOW USING SOUNDCLOUD...

collection part 1

'a few things from Ivan Smagghe'... and a few other things took a lot of my time recently but I am back on.

You may be able to find this super limited CD at your usual purveyor of good music. Or obviously in Colette if you leave or are going in Paris, as they 'commissioned' it.

here's a link to their online shop

I was quite chuffed by them asking me and, you know what, I'm happy it's out there.

It's an unmixed collection of edits, some were posted on this blog but some were not and will never be

happy hunting...
