other pockets of resistance

On the dire sea of conformism, we are never sailing on our own. As often as possible, I will signal other worthy buccaneers.

Krikor has never compromised. You will find righteous morale and great edits on his new site, including one of my old fave, Nini Raviolette's 'Suis-je Normale'.

There are loads more places of interest but two that jump to my mind right now. First is the ever growing Get The Curse (The French young crew), where you can also find my 'Back of the Box' playlists. The other being Feel My Bicep (you may find othere edits of mine there)...

This place is still being built, there will be on the right side of the page a list of close allies very soon but I could not leave without pointing towards home.

geek to death

if you're not a DJ, do not even check this. If you are, you might as well do (I was one of the lucky testers, they're pretty pretty good).

SLIGHT RETOUCH part one

Are we allowed to retouch (or destroy then rebuild) the 'classics'? Of course we are. What is a 'classic anyway'?

rich oil for shit motors (ISE8 edit)

For those who catch us up here, I do not give the title of the original track though, especially for this one, it should not be too hard for you people.

LOST TREASURE part one

Where would we without sharing music ? In good spirit , I'll post here some simple edits (nothing too fancy)of tracks I consider underrated. Like with my back of the box playlists on french uber site Get the Curse this is not about genres, just about sheer quality. As a principle, I will not give the exact references of the original track, but it should not be too hard to find for people of acquired taste as you are... I just do not understand why this band did not explode. Too often, magic stays in the shadow and tricks in the light. And I don't think it's too soon to call this a cult favorite:

'not on the list' (ISE8 edit)

More soon... Starting tomorrow with the tracks that rocked my graveyard Fabric shift...

This may seems strange...

...But I've decided to communicate with the outside world. No Myspace, No Facebook, No Twitter... Only here (and a few other chosen places)... Hopefully I'll have things to say and stuff to pass on.
More very very soon. xxxx. Ivan.
Ps: And yes, this is really me, not a fake.
